Chapter 5 · Setting up the Sacred Fire
अग्न्याधानमवादि दारसमये दायाद्यकाले परैर्द्वीशाग्निध्रुवशाक्रपुष्यमृगपौष्णैर्व्यब्जलग्नांशयोः । जीवेंद्वर्ककुजैः सुत५र्द्धि३।६।११।१०नव९केंद्रस्थै १।४।७।१० रनस्तंगतैः स्वोच्चेष्टर्क्षगतैः परैरुपचयैर्वित्ताद्यशुद्धौ बुधैः ॥ १ ॥
Other teachers say the agnyadhana (setting up the sacred fire) may be done at the wedding. It may also be done when the family property is shared out. Good stars: Vishakha, Krittika, the fixed stars Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha and Uttara Bhadrapada, Jyeshtha, Pushya, Mrigashira and Revati. The lagna (rising sign) and its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) should not be a watery sign. Jupiter, the Moon, the Sun and Mars should be in these places. The places: the 5th house, an upachaya (growth house), the 9th house or a kendra (corner house). The upachaya houses are the 3rd, 6th, 11th and 10th. The kendra houses are the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th. These four planets should not be burnt by the Sun. They should be in their high signs or in friendly signs. The other planets should be in upachaya houses. The wise say this holds even when the 2nd house and the rest are not clean.
Simple meaning: Set up the sacred fire under these stars, with Jupiter, Moon, Sun and Mars well placed.
