Jataka Alankara · by Ganesha Daivajna
Chapter 6 · The Ascendant Lord and the House Lords in Exchange
भावाध्यायः
एवंस्वमत्यासुफलप्रबोधंश्रीजातकालंकरणंमनोज्ञम् ॥वृत्तैरनंतेशमितैर्निबद्धंमयामुदेदैवविदामुदारम् ॥ ७ ॥
In this way, with my own understanding, I made this pleasing jataka (birth chart reading) book, the Alankara. It makes good results easy to know. I set it in verses for the joy of astrologers. It is a generous book. (Our text is unclear here: the word that gives the number of verses.)
Simple meaning: The author says he wrote this pleasing book from his own understanding, for astrologers.
लग्नेशेरिःफयातेव्ययसदनपतौलग्नगेसर्वशत्रुर्बुद्ध्याहीनोनितांतंकृपणतरमतिर्द्रव्यनाशीविलोलः ॥
1st and 12th lords swapping may bring enemies and loss. Venus with the 1st lord brings honour.
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.
