Chapter 6 · The Ascendant Lord and the House Lords in Exchange
भावाध्यायः
कर्मस्थेलग्ननाथेगगनभवनपेलग्नगेभूपतिःस्यात्ख्यातोलाभेचरूपेगुरुभजनरतोलोलुपोद्रव्यनाथः ॥लाभेशेलग्नयातेतनुभवनपतौलाभसंस्थेसुकर्मादीर्घायुःक्षोणिनाथःशुभविहगयुतोकोविदोमानवःस्यात् ॥ ५ ॥
The lord of the 1st house is in the 10th, and the lord of the 10th is in the 1st. Then the person becomes a ruler. He is known for his gains and good looks. He loves to serve his elders and teachers. He is greedy and owns wealth. The lord of the 11th house is in the 1st, and the lord of the 1st is in the 11th. Then the person does good work and lives long. He may rule land. If good planets join, he is learned.
Simple meaning: 1st and 10th lords swapping bring power and fame. 1st and 11th lords bring long life and good work.
लग्नेशेरिःफयातेव्ययसदनपतौलग्नगेसर्वशत्रुर्बुद्ध्याहीनोनितांतंकृपणतरमतिर्द्रव्यनाशीविलोलः ॥
1st and 12th lords swapping may bring enemies and loss. Venus with the 1st lord brings honour.
