अरोचक — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
This is the Arochaka astrology chapter of Vira Simhavaloka. It is a short chapter on Jupiter in the 3rd house.
Classical view, not medical advice.
The text links the trouble to weak digestion and points to the rites told before.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Next, loss of taste that comes from weak digestive fire is told. It is told as the stars see it. Its remedy follows.
Arochaka (loss of taste) - the stars
अतिपरिभूतःकृपणः सहजयुतो मानवो भवति जीवे ।मन्दाग्निस्त्रीविजितो दुश्चिक्ये पापकर्मा च ॥
When Jupiter is in the 3rd house, the person is much looked down on. He may be a miser and may have siblings. He may have weak digestion. He may be ruled by women and may do bad deeds.
So, for Jupiter in the 3rd house, he should do what was told before. That is japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering), dana (gift), snana (ritual bath) and the rest. By that the trouble eases.
Unit 23.2 names Jupiter in the 3rd house. Unit 23.3 gives the rite.
