Jataka Alankara · by Ganesha Daivajna
Chapter 6 · The Ascendant Lord and the House Lords in Exchange
भावाध्यायः
पुष्करालयवशागुणसाराजातकोक्तिरमलेवमराला ॥संस्कृताविहरतांभवतांमेमानसेऽतिसरलेसुकवीनाम् ॥ ८ ॥
This speech on birth charts is like a pure swan. A swan loves lotus lakes; this speech rests on the planets of the sky. It is full of good qualities and well made. May it play in the honest minds of good poets, and in mine, as a swan plays on a lake.
Simple meaning: The author hopes his clear work lives happily in the minds of good poets.
लग्नेशेरिःफयातेव्ययसदनपतौलग्नगेसर्वशत्रुर्बुद्ध्याहीनोनितांतंकृपणतरमतिर्द्रव्यनाशीविलोलः ॥
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.
हृद्यैःपद्यैर्गुंफितेसूरितोषेऽलंकाराख्येजातकेमंजुलेऽस्मिन् ॥
Here ends the 6th chapter, on the houses, written by Ganesha in 8 fine verses.
