Chapter 4 · Marriage
विवाहप्रकरणम्
जन्मर्क्षोदयतो मृतीतदधिपौ तद्गाश्च ये तल्लवास्तद्भंचांगगमंतकृत्खलु न चेत्तत्स्वामिमित्रैकता । शस्तोंऽशो घटभीरुयुग्मधनुषां विज्ञास्तभांशौ तथा चंद्रापुण्ययुतौ मृतिं वितनुतो दैन्यं च हीनौजसः ॥ ३० ॥
Take the 8th sign from the birth sign and from the birth lagna (rising sign). Take their lords, the planets in them and the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of each. The verse says that sign as the lagna kills, unless its lord is a friend or the same. The navamsha of Aquarius, Virgo, Gemini or Sagittarius is praised. The wise treat the 7th sign and its navamsha the same way. With the Moon and a bad planet, they bring death. If weak, they bring poverty.
Simple meaning: The 8th from the birth sign or lagna is said to be a deadly wedding lagna; some ninth-parts are good.
नो वर्गोत्तमतो विनांतिमलवं दद्याच्चरर्क्षे चरं चंद्रे तौलिमृगास्यगे न च तनुं पंचेष्टखेटोनिताम् । मेषादिष्वजनक्रतौलिककुलीराद्या नवांशाः क्रमादिष्टात्पूर्वनवांशका दशहतात्र्याप्ता लवाद्या तनुः ॥ ३१ ॥
Which ninth-parts of the lagna to avoid, and how to set the lagna for a chosen ninth-part.
लग्नांशौ स्वपदृग्युतौ नृसुखदौ वान्योन्यपाढ्येक्षितौ ताभ्यां सप्तमकौ तथैव युवतेर्नोचेत्तयोर्मृत्युदौ । द्विघ्नेऽर्कोनविलग्नके रविसितज्ञेंद्वार्किजीवासृजो होरेशा द्युपतेः खलेऽह्नि खलजा नेष्टा शुभे मध्यमा ॥ ३२ ॥
Lagna and its ninth-part with their lords help the couple; planetary hours of bad planets are avoided.
लग्नेंद्वोः स्मरगे शुभाशुभखगेस्तश्चाधिमृत्यू ततोब्जांगोनात्कृतमौर्विकात् खखयमैर्लब्धं यदाब्धीषवः । सन्स्विष्टोच्चनिजांशभेऽस्तमखिलं पश्येदरित्र्यायगे सूर्ये वा खजलाद्यकोणगशुभो वाब्जं प्रपश्येन्न तत् ॥ ३३ ॥
Planets in the 7th from the lagna or Moon can harm; good aspects and some Sun places cancel this.
