CHAPTER 22
1. One should know that, when Sour (planets) are in one sign, there are born those who are banished (nirakrta) or who renounce the world (pravrajita); ahindikas and men who abandon their homes or asramas; and those who attain the perfection of beatitude (naishreya).
2. As many as are the strong planets in this (yoga), so many are the native’s rites (diksa); that rite (diksa) is first in time (which is determined) by the strongest planet or by the planet which has the strength of dasha or yoga.
3. Jupiter, when it is the strongest, produces a tridandin (samnyasin) who has obtained righteousness (dharma) and is wise in knowledge; Venus a trader of carakas who is pure and gains fame by (knowing) painting, transcribing, and the sacred traditions (sruti);
4. the Moon a sravaka with the merit of an elder; the Sun a chief of ascetics; Mars a sakyasramana with a bad character; Saturn a naked upasaka;
5. Mercury a jivin (ajivika) having one linga, a mutterer (jalpaka) who understands the meaning (of his mutterings), an active person. The indication of the caste (of the native) depends on the caste of the planet, and (he comes) from a country and originates in a family and place (corresponding to those indicated by the planet).
6. Even if a planet is weak and of little strength, if it is in the house of a friend, the native is devoted (bhaktivan) to that (planet’s deity); however, if it is owrcome by another or in the house of an enemy, it causes the birth of a herretic (pasanda).
7. If the lord of the nativity is weak, overcome by others, and aspected by a strong Saturn but not by a friend or by benefic planets, then it doubtless causes the birth of a diksita.
8. The waning Moon in a navamsa of Saturn aspected by Saturn but not by other planets or a weak Saturn in the ascendcnt while the Moon is in a navamsa of the Sun produces a pravrajita.
9. If Saturn and the Moon are in navamsa of Saturn or if a strong Saturn is in conjunction with the Moon while the lord of the nativity is weak and not aspected by benefit planets, it produces a pravrajita.
10. If any one of the Sun, the Moon, and the ascendent is in a cardine in its own sign and if the three of them are in their vargas, Saturn quickly produces a pravrajita.
11. If Mars, the Sun, and the Moon are in a house of Saturn, and Saturn is strong and in the ascendant, while Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury are in cadent places, then a pravrajita is born.
12. If the lord of the nativity is weak and in a house of Saturn aspected by Saturn, which is in a cardine, while the waning Moon is in the ascendant in a navamsa of Saturn, it causes the birth of a diksita.
13. If Saturn in a navamsa of the Sun aspects the full Moon in a navamsa of Saturn, because the outstanding (planets) are in an outstanding yoga it produces a great king who adapts a rite (diksa).
CHAPTER 23
1. Five (planets) in one sign cause the birth of men who delight in the theater and are intent on entertaining others with songs, dancing, drama, humour, and ballets.
2. Mercury being the strongest in this (yoga) produces an actor who is pleased by dramas of happiness; Venus one who imitates women; the Sun a bold man who sings like a public crier;
3-5. the Moon one who knows the sweet sounds of the humming of (lyre)-strings; Mars a fop with invigorating (?) humor; Saturn a rope-dancer who knows how to create illusions; (and Jupiter …).
6.In a varga of Venus, in musical instruments.
7. in a varga of the Sun, a courteous man who takes pleasure in continuous actions or does manufacturing work; in a varga of Mercury, one who is famous with respect to works involving the things pertaining to the Drekkanas (of the various planets).
8. In a yoga of Jupiter, in the rules regarding clothes-(making); in a yoga of the Sun, in crafts involving such things as sticks; in a yoga of Venus, in such things as painting and the theater; they say the Moon in such things as involve all kinds of jewels;
9. (in a yoga) of Mars, in work involving such things as copper (loha); they say Saturn in such work as that involving horn and bone; and in a yoga of Mercury, in such things as bamboo-canes and minerals. Such are the influences of these (planets) on crafts with regard to the Drekanas.
CHAPTER 24
1-4. Seven (planets) in one sign cause the birth of evil men who are afflicted by disease and miseries; those who have little wealth and are short-lived; men who are lazy and pained, who live on alms, and who are subordinate to others.
5. The Sun, being strongest in this (yoga), produces a man of unrighteous (adharma) behavior who hunts deer; Mars a shepherd or a man who keeps cattle; Saturn a drunkard who slays his master;
6. Mercury a pauper who delights in foreign countries; Venus a useless man who follows the ways of a servant; the Moon a sick man of little strength; and Jupiter a timid fool or one who is given up (?).
7. Keeping in mind the application of the tradition regarding the things pertaining to the planets and what possesses their colors and qualities, one desires (to know) the ever unfortunate indication of these (planets) which exert influences which are well known.
