Nate whether the lords of the lagna and the bhava indicating the object of the question are benefic, whether they are in benefic houses, and whether they mutually aspect each other described earlier (Chapter 2, verses 18 to 20). The orb of the aspect is not beyond twelve degrees. Then the astrologer can predict the fulfilment of the object on the basis of the strength, benefic nature and the like referred to above, of the two planets. Proper attention should be paid to the nature of the aspect as explained in Chapter 4 and verse 33. The strength of the significator should also be considered. Then alone one should give the prediction. lf there is any planet between the two lords referred to above, and if it has an applying aspect within twelve degrees with either of the two, one may predict on the basis of that planet the nature, functions, and the like ascribed to the planet in the fifth Chapter. The time when the matter will be accomplished is to be made on the basis of Sloka 18 of this Chapter.
