The person born in the Chhathra yoga will be happy in the beginning and the end of his life with matchless riches and strength. The man at whose birth the Nau yoga occurs will live on the surface of water and get his living there. In the Chakra yoga, the person born will be a famous king. The man who has had his birth in the Samudra yoga will find his living in water and will be a ruler of the earth. He who is born in the Ardha Chandra yoga will lead a life of pleasure. The person who has had the Kuta yoga in his nativity will frequent mountains and forests and be addicted to cruel deeds. If men be born in the Dhanur yoga they will adopt the profession of thieves haunting inaccessible places and be despised outcasts.
