Chapter 10
Karmajeeva (profession)

Stanza 1:
From Sun, etc., the acquisition of wealth must be predicted thru father, mother, enemy, friend, brother, woman and servant respectively, when he occupies the 10th house from birth or Moon, or thru lord of the navamsa occupied by the lord of the 10th, from birth, Moon or Sun
Stanza 2:
If the lord of the navamsa is Sun, the person gets wealth thru scents, gold, wool, medicines, etc. If the amsa lord is Moon, wealth flows thru agriculture, watery products and dependence upon women, etc. If the lord of the navamsa is Mars, he gets money thru minerals, fire, weapons, adventures and physical strength. If the lord of the navamsa is Mercury, money is obtained thru writing, math, poetry and fine arts
Stanza 3:
If the lord of the navamsa is Jupiter, he gets money from Brahmins, priests, Gods, in mines or manufactures, and from charities. If that lord is Venus, he makes money by gems, silver, cows, buffaloes, etc. If he’s Saturn, he gets money from labor, by execution, carrying and by low artisanship. The source of income may be such as that which is controlled by the lord of the navamsa occupied by the lord of 10th in transit
Stanza 4:
Planets give wealth similar to the houses they occupy. If Sun is exalted and powerful, the man gets wealth by self‑acquisition. If powerful benefics are in lagna, 2nd or 11th, he gets money in many ways


Chapter 11
Rajayoga

Stanza 1:
Yavanas say that three or more cruel planets in exaltation will produce a cruel-minded king. Jeevasarma and his school say that exalted cruel planets won’t raise a man to kingly power
Stanza 2:
If Mars, Saturn, Sun and Jupiter or any three of them are exalted and one of these three occupies the lagna, 16 rajayogas arise. If Moon is in his own house, and any two of the above planets are in exaltation, with one of them in birth, or if any of the above-named planets is in exaltation occupying the lagna, they produce 16 rajayogas
Stanza 3:
If lagna or Moon occupies vargottama and has the aspects of four or more planets, except Moon, 22 rajayogas are generated
Stanza 4:
If Saturn is in Aquarius, Sun in Aries, Moon in Taurus and lagna rises in one of these, and Mercury, Jupiter and Mars are in Gemini, Leo and Scorpio, there’ll be combinations for royalty. If Sun and Moon are in exaltation and lagna rises in one of these signs and if Sun and Mercury are in the 6th, and if Venus, Mars and Jupiter are in Libra, Aries and Cancer, they generate two rajayogas
Stanza 5:
If Mars is in Capricorn, Sun and Moon in Sagittarius, and lagna rising in Capricorn with Saturn in it, the person becomes a king. If, in the above combination, Moon joins Mars in birth or if Saturn and Moon are in 7th, if Jupiter is in Sagittarius, and Aries becomes lagna with Sun there, the person becomes a king
Stanza 6:
If Taurus rises at birth with Moon in it, and Sun, Jupiter and Saturn are in the 4th, 7th and 10th respectively, the person certainly becomes a king. If Capricorn is birth with Saturn in it, and 3, 6, 9 or 12 are occupied by Moon, etc., the person becomes a famous, good-natured and prominent king
Stanza 7:
If Jupiter with Moon is in Sagittarius, Mars in Capricorn and Pisces or Virgo is the lagna with Mercury and Venus there, two rajayogas arise. If Mars and Saturn occupy the 5th, Jupiter, Moon and Venus join the 4th, if Virgo rises as lagna with Mercury in it, the person becomes a king with good character
Stanza 8:
If Pisces becomes lagna with Moon in it, Saturn, Mars and Sun are in Aquarius, Capricorn and Leo respectively, the person born will rule the earth.
If Aries becomes lagna with Mars in it, with Jupiter in Cancer or if Cancer rises with Jupiter in it, with Mars in Aries, a king will be born
Stanza 9:
If Cancer is lagna with Jupiter in it and if Moon, Venus and Mercury are in Taurus and Sun in Aries, a mighty king will be born
Stanza 10:
If Capricorn is lagna with Saturn in it and if Aries, Cancer and Leo are combined with their lords and if Gemini and Libra are occupied by Mercury and Venus, the person becomes a renowned ruler
Stanza 11:
If an exalted Mercury is in lagna, Venus in Gemini, Moon and Jupiter in Pisces with Saturn and Mars in Capricorn, the person becomes a king
Stanza 12:
In the combinations for royalty sketched before, persons born in poverty will become kings; much more so persons born in royal families. The combinations to be given hereafter will make men kings who are born in royal families and others born in ordinary families will become equal to kings
Stanza 13:
If there are three or more powerful exalted or moolatrikona planets in a horoscope, a person born in a royal family will become a king. If this number is five or more, then persons born in ordinary families will become rulers. If these planets are powerless, the persons won’t be kings but wealthy men
Stanza 14:
If Aries is the lagna with Sun half-rising and Moon in it, Mars in Capricorn and Jupiter in Sagittarius, the person born in a royal family becomes a king
Stanza 15:
When Venus occupies the 4th from lagna, Moon occupies the 9th and the rest are in the 1st, 3rd and 11th houses, the person becomes a king
Stanza 16:
If a powerful Mercury is in lagna, a powerful benefic in the 9th and the rest of the planets in the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 10th or 11th, the person born in a royal family will become a good and charitable king
Stanza 17:
If Taurus is lagna and Moon, Jupiter and Saturn and other planets occupy the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 11th respectively, or if Moon and Sun in the 10th and Saturn in lagna and other planets in the 11th, the person becomes king
Stanza 18:
If Moon, Saturn and Jupiter are in the 10th, 11th and 1st respectively, Mercury and Mars in the 2nd and Venus and Sun in the 4th, the person becomes a king. If Mars and Sun are in lagna, Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Sun and Mercury are in the 4th, 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th respectively, the person becomes a king
Stanza 19:
The person gets royal power in the antaradasa of the most powerful planet or of the planet who combines in the 10th or the 1st. He loses that power in the antaradasa of the planet who’s unfriendly or debilitation house because such a period is called the chara dasa. He then must seek protection from a powerful king
Stanza 20:
If Jupiter, Venus or Mercury is in lagna, Saturn in 7th and Sun in the 10th, the person will enjoy his life well. If beneficial signs are powerful and fall in quadrants and malefics occupy cruel signs, the person will be a master of hunters, thieves and wealth

Chapter 12
Nabhasa Yogas

Stanza 1:
By combinations of two, three and four the multiples of 9, 10, 8 by 3, 3 and 4 respectively will be the number of Nabhasa yogas obtained by this process. Yavanas have described 1800 varieties but I will describe them here briefly.
Stanza 2:
If the planets are in Chara, etc., Rajju, Musala and Nala yogas are formed respectively according to Satya. These are Asraya yogas. Parasara mentions two yogas as Dala under sruk and sarpa when the benefics and malefics are in kendras respectively.
Stanza 3:
Asraya yogas, according to some, are really incorporated in the Yava, Abja, Vajra, Andaja, Golaka, etc., to be stated hereafter. Dala yogas have no separate significance, according to some, as the results of benefics and malefics occupying the kendras have already been indicated.
Stanza 4:
When two adjacent quadrants are combined with all the planets it goes under the name of Gada.
It will be called Sakata when all the planets occupy the 1st and the 7th houses. When all the planets occupy the 4th and the 10th is called Vihaga. If all the planets occupy the 1st, 5th and 9th houses it is called Sringataka. If all the planets are in5th and 9th it is called Hala. So say the learned in astrology.
Stanza 5:
When benefics are in first and seventh and malefics are in fourth and tenth it is called Vajra. If the planets are reversed then it is called Yava. If the planets are mixed it is called Kamala. If the planets are outside kendras it is called Vapi.
Stanza 6:
I have give these Vajra yogas, etc., in accordance with older sciences, but how can Budha and Sukra be in the 4th from the Sun?
Stanza 7:
If all the planets are within the first four houses of the 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th kendras Yupa, Ishu, Sakthi and Danda yogas are respectively formed.
Stanza 8:
If all the planets are in the first 7 houses from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th kendras they give rise to Nau, Kuta, Chatra and Chapa yogas respectively. If these yogas are in other houses they are called Ardachandra.
Stanza 9:
If all the planets are in the alternate houses from the 2nd from lagna, it goes under the name of Samudra. If from lagna planets are similarly situated, it forms Chakra. This is the summary of Akriti yogas.
Stanza 10:
By all the planets occupying 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 houses, they form seven yogas, viz., Vallaki, Dama, Pasa, Kedara, Shula, Yuga and Gola, respectively. These are to be considered in the absence of the previously mentioned yogas.
Stanza 11:
Rajju produces envy, foreign residence and fondness for traveling. Musala makes one proud, wealthy, and capable of doing many works. Nala makes a person limbless, determined, rich and courageous. Srik makes him happy and Sarpa gives him great misery.
Stanza 12:
Asraya yogas, when they join other yogas become fruitless. The yogas with which Asrayas join will give results. When Asrayas are free, they give their own results.
Stanza 13:
Gada=fond of sacrifices, rich; Sakata=lives by carriages, sickly, bad wife; Vihaga=ambassador, traveler, quarrelsome; Sringataka=happiness after a long age; Hala=agriculturist.
Stanza 14:
Vajra=enjoys happiness in the beginning and end of his life, popular, courageous; Yava=warlike, happy in the end; Padma=wellknown reputation, great happiness, and good character; Vapi=good health, accumulator of money and miser
Stanza 15:
Yupa=liberal, watchful, performs sacrifices; Sara=fond of killing, jailor, maker of weapons; Sakti=mean, lazy, devoid of wealth and happiness; Danda=servitude, rejected by or separated from those who are dear.
Stanza 16:
Nou=famous, unsteady fortune and miserly; Kuta=liar, imprisonment; Chatra=helping relations, enjoyment in old age; Chapa=courageous enjoying life in the first and last parts of his days.
Stanza 17:
Ardhachandra=popular, handsome, leader; Samudra=equal to a ruler, happy; Chakra=respected by sovereigns; Veena=intelligent and skilful, clever in dancing and music.
Stanza 18:
Damini=liberal, philanthropic, protector, many cattle; Pasa=possessing relations and servants who are clever in acquiring wealth, and bad in behaviour; Kedara=agriculturist, helping many; Shula=courageous, having wounds, fond of wealth but poor.
Stanza 19:
Yuga=poor, unbeliever; Gola=penniless, sinful, ignorant, skilful in mean arts, lazy, traveling. These are Nabhasa yogas related by me, and they will always be productive of their own results.
