The lord of the 10th bhava, Mercury, and Jupiter when possessed of strength lead to the performance of good works such as sacrifices; if those planets be aspected by or associated with a benefic one, the person born will attain to the merit of performing Vajapeya and other sacrifices of merit. The planets above-mentioned secure in addition the merit accruing from the repair of old works, erection of towers, digging of reservoirs and laying out of parks. When the lord of the 10th bhava is benefic and in conjunction with the Moon, but free from the presence of Rahu or Ketu, the person born will perform sacrifices.
