Simple meaning: These animal pairs are enemies: dog and deer, mongoose and snake, sheep and monkey, and more.
झषालिकर्कटा विप्रास्तदूर्ध्वाः क्षत्रियादयः ।
Signs are grouped by caste. A woman's sign lower than the man's in caste is good.

The girl's star decides how the nadi is counted: in three, four or five parts.
गणयेत्संख्यया चैकनाड्यां मृत्युर्न पार्श्वयोः ।
The same nadi may put life at risk, not the two side ones. Four kinds of wedding are named.
