WIFE FROM THE 2ND OF UPAPADA (upto śloka 22): If a planet being constant indicator of wife (i.e. 7th lord or Venus) is in own house, there will be loss of wife only at a later stage. If the lord of Upa-Pada or the constant significator of wife is in exaltation, the wife will be from a noble family; reverse will be the case if he is debilitated. O Brahmin, if the 2nd from Upa-Pada is related to a benefic, the wife will be beautiful, fortunate and virtuous.

उपपद या दूसरे भाव में यदि नित्य दारकारक (शुक्र) अपनी राशि में स्थित हो तो भी आयुष्य के उत्तरार्ध में वह पुरुष बिना स्त्री का होता है।
