विवाहप्रकरणम्
भागाः स्युर्नतनाडिका रसहतास्तद्धीनयुक्प्राक्परे सूर्यः खं सरसं सुखं कथितवल्लग्नं सषड्भं मदः । व्यस्ताभ्रत्रिलवोऽथ दृक्च्युत उभौ योज्यौ कुदृघ्नौ पृथग्लग्ने चांबुनि ते सषट्तनुमुखाः संधिर्द्वियोगोऽर्धकः ॥ २७ ॥
Multiply the ghatikas (24-minute units) from noon by 6 to get degrees. Take these from the Sun before noon, or add them after. That gives the 10th house. Add 6 signs to get the 4th. Find the lagna (rising sign) as said before. Add 6 signs to it for the 7th. Take a third of the gap from the 10th to the lagna. Then take that third away from 2 signs. Multiply each by 1 and by 2. Add them, apart, to the lagna and to the 4th. These, with 6 signs added, give the other houses from the lagna on. A junction is half the sum of two house points.
Simple meaning: How to work out the 10th house, the other house points and the junctions between houses.
इंदोर्वा हरिजाद्व्ययस्वगतयोः स्यात्क्रूरयोः कर्तरी स्वे वक्र्यंत्य ऋजुर्महत्यथ गुरौ रिःफे शुभे वा तनौ । स्वेऽब्जे सौम्यखगेपि वा गुरुभृगुज्ञैः केंद्रकोणेषु वा चेत्स्तः कर्तरिकारकौ दिविचरौ नीचस्थितौ सा नहि ॥ २८ ॥
Bad planets on both sides of the Moon or lagna cut like scissors; several things cancel it.
लग्नं सेततिथि ग्रहैर्हृदिभदृग्वेदर्तुभूशेषकै रोगाग्नीनहरात्ययास्त्यज रुजं रात्र्यर्कमौंजीषु च । अग्निं भौमगृहद्युषु द्युशनिसेवेंदुष्विनं हारमीज्यारेतिष्वपरं विवाहसितवित्संध्यासु हीने तनौ ॥ २९ ॥
A count from the lagna and tithi gives five bad results, each avoided on certain days and rites.
जन्मर्क्षोदयतो मृतीतदधिपौ तद्गाश्च ये तल्लवास्तद्भंचांगगमंतकृत्खलु न चेत्तत्स्वामिमित्रैकता । शस्तोंऽशो घटभीरुयुग्मधनुषां विज्ञास्तभांशौ तथा चंद्रापुण्ययुतौ मृतिं वितनुतो दैन्यं च हीनौजसः ॥ ३० ॥
The 8th from the birth sign or lagna is said to be a deadly wedding lagna; some ninth-parts are good.
