Jataka Alankara · by Ganesha Daivajna
Chapter 6 · The Ascendant Lord and the House Lords in Exchange
भावाध्यायः
लग्नेशेरिःफयातेव्ययसदनपतौलग्नगेसर्वशत्रुर्बुद्ध्याहीनोनितांतंकृपणतरमतिर्द्रव्यनाशीविलोलः ॥इत्थंतातादिकानामपिजनुषितथाखेचराणांहियोगाद्वाच्यंहोरागमज्ञैस्तदनुतनुपयुग्भार्गवेराजपूज्यः ॥ ६ ॥
The lord of the 1st house is in the 12th, and the lord of the 12th is in the 1st. Then the person tends to have everyone as an enemy. He lacks good sense and is very miserly. He tends to lose wealth and is restless. In the same way, experts in astrology should read the father and other relatives too. They should judge them from these planet links in the birth chart. Also, if Venus is with the lord of the 1st house, the person is honoured by kings.
Simple meaning: 1st and 12th lords swapping may bring enemies and loss. Venus with the 1st lord brings honour.
एवंस्वमत्यासुफलप्रबोधंश्रीजातकालंकरणंमनोज्ञम् ॥
The author says he wrote this pleasing book from his own understanding, for astrologers.
पुष्करालयवशागुणसाराजातकोक्तिरमलेवमराला ॥
The author hopes his clear work lives happily in the minds of good poets.
हृद्यैःपद्यैर्गुंफितेसूरितोषेऽलंकाराख्येजातकेमंजुलेऽस्मिन् ॥
Here ends the 6th chapter, on the houses, written by Ganesha in 8 fine verses.
