Results.-ALl the above Yogas produce dire poverty, financial straits, wretchedness and miseries.
Remarks.-Poverty is a horrible specter more grim-like than even death. Death puts an end to life and settles all worldly states. What happens after
death, nobody knows. It is supposed to put an end to all the worldly miseries, sorrows and anxieties.
Hence there are some people who prefer death to abject poverty. A poor man leads a wretched life. He is compelled to live in squalid and unhealthy
houses. The children have no facilities for education, health and decent existence. The poor man is generally shunned everywhere. He is an unwelcome guest at the doors of the ‘well-to-do’classes. His legitimate
activities are obstructed by financial difficulties and want of sympathy Poverty is the hot-bed of crime and vice and the impervious sensations of hunger and thirst drive the poor to disgraceful acts. Whatever
philosophers may say, the pangs of poverty are difficult to bear.
In all the above combinations, reference is made
in the original to the conjunction of lords of Lagna and the 5th with maraka lords. Evidently, the maraka lords are the 2nd and 7th lords. Some authors
include 6th, 8th and 12th houses also as belonging to maraka category.
