Check free →Then it shows how strength and placement change what a planet gives. It lists royal yogas, the shapes planets make and the Moon yogas. Next the Moon is read star by star and sign by sign. It ends with planets by house, the parts of a sign, and when in a dasha each planet acts.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
अंतर्दशासु विदशास्तासु चोपदशास्तथा ।दशेशमित्रस्वोच्चक्षंगोब्जोब्ध्येकाद्रिवृद्धिगः ॥ १४२ ॥
Inside the apahara (sub-period) come the vidasha (still smaller period), and inside those the upadasha (smaller period within that). Take a planet that is a friend of the dasha (planet period) lord. Or one in its own or high sign. Or one in the 9th, 4th, 1st, 7th or 11th, or in the place called abja. (Our text is unclear here: the house meant by abja.)
Simple meaning: A planet friendly to the dasha lord, in its own or high sign, or in a good house, helps.
शुभगो यद्भगस्तद्भिस्न्वादिस्थेन तद्धिकृत् ।प्रोक्तेतरस्थानगतस्तत्तद्भावक्षयंकरः ॥ १४३ ॥
A planet in such a good place does good to the house it stands in. One in any place not named may harm the matters of that house. (Our text is unclear here: a few words in the first line.)
Simple meaning:
It shows how planet periods and strength shape results. Then it lists many yogas and the Moon in each sign.
Verse 3.3 says a planet's results, such as livelihood, show up in that planet's dasha.
Verse 3.87 says a good planet gives half its result in its own sign and a quarter in a friend's sign.
खगस्य यद्भवेद्द्रव्यं भावभे क्षणयोगजम् ।जीविकादिफलं सर्वं दशायां तस्य योजयेत् ॥ १४४ ॥
Note the goods a planet brings through its house, its sign, its looks and its joinings. Apply all its results, livelihood and the rest, to its dasha (planet period).
Simple meaning: Money and livelihood from a planet show up in that planet's dasha.
विशन्यापदशायां यो वैरिदृष्टो विपत्तिकृत् ।शुभमित्रेक्षितश्चेष्टसद्वर्गस्थश्च यो ग्रहः ॥ १४५ ॥
This is for the vidasha (still smaller period) and the upadasha (smaller period within that). There, a planet looked at by an enemy brings trouble. Now take a planet looked at by good planets and friends. It stands in good vargas (divisions of a sign) that suit it. (Our text is unclear here: the first word, read as the vidasha and upadasha.)
Simple meaning: A planet looked at by an enemy brings trouble. One looked at by a friend helps.
तत्काले बलवानापन्नाशकृत्समुदाहृतः ।यस्याष्टवर्गजं चापि फलं पूर्णशुभं भवेत् ॥ १४६ ॥
If it is strong at that time, it is said to end trouble. Also take the planet whose ashtakavarga (eight-source point table) result is fully good.
Simple meaning: A strong planet with friends' looks ends trouble. A planet with a fully good point table also helps.
यश्च मूर्तितनुग्लावो वृद्धिगः स्वोच्चभस्थितः ।स्वत्रिकोणसुहृद्भस्थस्तस्य मध्यमसत्फलम् ॥ १४७ ॥
A planet in the 1st house, the 11th or its high sign gives a middling good result. So does one in its mulatrikona (a planet's strong own-sign part) or a friend's sign. (Our text is unclear here: one word, perhaps a name of the Moon.)
Simple meaning: A planet in the 1st or 11th, or in a high, own or friend's sign, gives middling good.
श्रेष्ठं शुभतरं वाच्यं विपरीतगतस्य तु ।नेष्टमुत्कटमिष्टं तु स्वल्पं ज्ञात्वा बलं वदेत् ॥ १४८ ॥
Call that result the best and very good. For a planet placed the other way, the bad is strong and the good is small. Know the strength first, then speak.
Simple meaning: Well-placed planets give the best results. Badly placed ones bring much bad and little good.
चरे सन्मध्यदुष्टाभ्यामंगभंगे विपर्ययात् ।स्थिरे नेष्टेष्टमध्या च होरायास्त्र्यंशकैः फलम् ॥ १४९ ॥
In a moving sign, the thirds of the lagna (rising sign) give good, middle and bad in order. In the dual sign, they run the other way round. In a fixed sign, they give bad, good and middle.
Simple meaning: The result depends on which third of the rising sign it is and whether the sign moves, stays fixed or is dual.
स्वामीज्यज्ञयुता होरा दृष्टा वा सत्फलावहा ।विनाश दृष्टयुक्ता च पापांतरगतान्यथा ॥ १५० ॥
A lagna (rising sign) joined or looked at by its own lord, Jupiter or Mercury brings good results. Without these, and hemmed in between bad planets, it gives the opposite. (Our text is unclear here: one syllable after 'without'.)
Simple meaning: A rising sign with its lord, Jupiter or Mercury gives good results. Bad planets on both sides spoil it.
प्राग्ध्वांक्षा बंधुमृत्याय तयोर्द्यूने रविः स्वभात् ।वक्रात्स्वादिवसाच्चार्के शुक्राद्यूनां तु षड्रतः ॥ १५१ ॥

From Venus: the 7th, the 6th and one more. (Our text is unclear here: some number words are misprinted.)
