64) Inauspicious planetary combinations, though aspected by benefics, do not at all give up their maleficence. If at Niçeka (impregnation) Saturn occupies the 7th house and the ascending Naväàças belongs to Saturn, child-birth will take place after three years.
65) It will be after twelve years if the planet concerned is the Moon. In this manner, the time of delivery should be considered.
66-67) Note the Dvädaçaàça Räçi of the Moon at Ädhäna (impregnation). The delivery will take place when the Moon in transit passes through the Räçi that is removed by the number of Dvädaçamçäs from the Dvädaçämça Räçi. The distance in degrees travelled by the Moon in the particular Räçi at birth, being doubled, would give the time of birth in Ghatis from Sunrise.
68) The child’s father will be away from home of the Moon at birth does not aspect the Rising Sign (Lagna) and if the Sun has fallen from the Zenith (i.e., the 10th house). The father must be in a foreign country at the time, if the Sun is also in a movable sign. Notes: Let us say that the Moon at conception occupies Våñabha and her longitude is 12-25° 46’. The Dvädaçäàça of the Moon is 11th counted from Våñabha. So the Moon’s Dvädaçäàça Räçi happens to be Ména. Now counting will have to be made from this Räçi, i.e., Ména. 11 Räçis should be counted from Ména which comes to Makara. So we must say that delivery is likely to occur when the Moon passes through Makara Räçi.
69) The same result should be declared by expert astrologers, if Saturn be in the lagna and Mars in the 7th or if Moon be between Mercury and Venus; or if the Moon be posited in the Lagna owned by a malefic and in the decanate owned by Våçcika and if benefics be in the 2nd and 11th houses or if the Sun be aspected by the benefics.
70) If Mars and Saturn occupy Siàha lagna and an Aàça belonging to the Moon or Mercury, the child will have a cord around its limb signified by the Naväàça Räçi of the lagna. The above will happen if Jupiter does not aspect the Lagna, the Moon, or the Lagna along with the two luminaries.
71-73) If the Sun or the Moon is conjoined with malefics in Våñabha, the child maybe illegitimate. If Mars and Saturn occupying Räçis owned by malefics (i.e., themselves) and conjoined with malefics, happen to be in the 5th or 9th from the Sun, the child’s father is imprisoned in his own country or in a foreign land, according to the Räçi occupied by the Sun is fixed or movable.
74-75) When the full Moon occupies her own Räçi; Mercury the lagna and a benefic the 4th house, birth takes place in a sailing boat. Similar is the result when the lagna is a watery sign and the Moon is posited in the 7th house. Undoubtedly, O Närada, birth takes place on water when the full Moon occupying Gemini or Virgo aspects the lagna or is posited in the Lagna, 2nd or 4th house.
76) Delivery takes place clandestinely if Saturn occupying the 12th place from the lagna of the Moon is posited in the 7th.
77) Delivery takes place in a pit or dungeon if saturn occupies the lagna identical with Karka (Cancer) or Våiçcika (Scorpio) or aspects the Lagna or the Moon, or is conjoined with the Moon or Lagna. If the Lagna of birth is aspected by Mercury, the Sun and Moon, the places of delivery, respectively would be a place of sport, a temple and a barren spot.
78-79) Birth takes place in a burial ground if Mars should aspect the Lagna; in a rural place, if the Moon and Venus; in a sacrificial house if Jupiter; in a house of ornaments and decorations, if the Sun; and in a house of fine arts if Mercury, in all cases, the aspecting planets being strong.
80) If the lord of the Lagna is posited in his own house or Aàça, which is a fixed Sign, the birth takes place in the father’s house; if it is a movable Sign, in transit (during a journey), the nature of the road being determined by that of the Räçi concerned. The child is abandoned by the mother if the Moon occupies the 7th house which is a trine (5th or 9th) to Mars and Saturn.
81) However, if the ascendant is aspected by Jupiter, the child will live long and be rescued by somebody. On the other hand, if the ascendant occupied by the Moon is aspected by malefics and if Mars occupies the 7th house, the abandoned child will die.
82) If the trine (5th) from Mars and Saturn are aspected by a benefic, the child lives happily in the protection of a stranger. On the other hand, if the ascendant occupied by Moon is aspected by malefics and if Mars occupies the 7th house, the abandoned child will die.
83) O Sage, the birth takes place in the house of the father or mother according as the planet owning the house is strong. If the ascendant is occupied by a debilitated benefic and the Moon does not tenant the ascendant nor aspected by any planet, the birth takes place in a lonely place.
84-85) When the Moon is posited in the 4th house owned by Saturn or in an Aàça of Saturn, or aspected by Saturn, the birth takes place in darkness or in dim light and the woman lies down on the floor. Similarly, the direction of the house or the lying-in-chamber should be guessed from the nature of the Räçi, whether it is Sirçodaya (rising with its head) or Påçöhodaya (rising with its hind part) first.
86-87) Trouble will have to be predicted for the mother, if there are malefics in the 4th and 7th houses from the Moon. When the strongest (or aspecting) planet in the chart happens to be Saturn,the house in which the child is born should be an old house that has been renovated; Mars, a burnt one; the Moon, a newly built one; the Sun, a wooden one house that is not very strong; Mercury, one with many architectural embellishments; Venus a new house adorned with paintings; or Jupiter, or a strong and attractive one as the case may be.
88) The house of birth or the laying-in chamber is in the East, if the ascendant is Tulä, Meña, Karka, Våçcika, or Kumbha; It is in the North, if the Lagna is owned by Mercury or Jupiter; it is in the West, if it is Våñabha; and in the South, if it is Siṁha or Makara. 89) The directions of the house are represented by two houses beginning with Meña for each cardinal point and a dual house for an intermediate quarter. The legs of the cot are represented by the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses respectively, as in the case of a house.
