मिश्रप्रकरणम्
तीक्ष्णोग्रध्रुवमिश्रवायुषु धनं नष्टादिकं नैतिकाद्भेऽब्ध्याप्ते त्रिखशेषयोर्नगतमेत्यंत्यांबुशुद्धौ क्षिपेत् । विद्यां प्रोक्तवदिष्टदेवतिथिभेऽथ द्वीशमूलध्रुवैर्मृद्वश्वीज्यकरांबुपैः सुजलखाब्जांगे तरून् रोपयेत् ॥ १५ ॥
Money lost and the like does not come back under the sharp, fierce, fixed or mixed stars. Svati is the same. Count from Rohini to the star of the loss. Divide by 4. If 3 or 0 is left over, what is gone does not return. Put money away when the 12th and 4th houses are clean. Start learning as said before, on the tithi (moon day) and star of your chosen god. Plant trees under Vishakha, Moola, the fixed stars or the soft stars. Ashvini, Pushya, Hasta and Shatabhisha are good too. Use a good watery sign rising, with the Moon in the 10th.
Simple meaning: Lost money may not come back under some stars; plant trees under good stars with a watery sign rising.
उद्वाहर्क्षहरित्रयादितिहयेज्यर्क्षैस्तडागादयो ज्ञेज्याब्जैस्तनुगैः सिते दशमगे सिध्यंति सद्वासरे । राजेक्षा श्रवणत्रयध्रुवमृदुक्षिप्रैः स्वकेंद्रायगैः सौम्यैः शांतिकपौष्टिके सचरभैरेतैः सुधर्मोदये ॥ १६ ॥
Dig tanks and meet the king under good stars; do peace and growth rites with good planets placed well.
दिव्यं नैव मलिम्लुचे विधुसितेज्यास्ते रवावष्टमे मंदाराह्नि खलोदये स्थिरतनौ कुर्यात्कृतेऽदोऽन्यथा । श्रीशैलग्रहणायनेषु विषुवे संकीर्णजातावुपाकृत्युत्सर्गवधूप्रवेशनगयागोदासु नित्याब्दिके ॥ १७ ॥
Avoid ordeals in these times; a set Jupiter or Venus is no fault for some pilgrimages and rites.
ईशानाहिबलौ हरेः शयनपर्यावर्तने नैत्यके याने जीर्णगृहेऽवरोहदमनारोपे पवित्रार्पणे । चातुर्मास्यविधौ न जीवसितयोर्मूढत्वदोषोष्टकासूत्साहांबरधारणेषु गदितो गर्भादिसप्तस्वपि ॥ १८ ॥
A set Jupiter or Venus does not matter for these rites, festivals and the first seven life rites.
