If (1) Jupiter or Venus be conjoined with the lord of the 4th house and occupy a Kendra other than the 4th or a Trikona; (2) the lord of the 9th in conjunction with Jupiter or Venus occupy the 4th or the 9th, the person born in either of these two yogas will become a king and a master of a large number of vehicles.

If the planet (Mars) should be posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th, he will be thinking about his happiness.
If Jupiter be in the 6th, 8th or 12th, the native will be anxious will be about vehicles, ornaments, clothes, horses etc.

If Jupiter be in the 7th, the native will be anxious about one’s issues, protection of cattle, etc.
If Mercury occupy the 8th house, the mind will be intent in acquiring more knowledge.
If the 11th or a Trikona house be occupied by the Sun, the thought will be about one’s father or other relation.
If Venus occupy the 6th, 9th or 7th house, travel will engage the attention of the mind.
When Jupiter is in the 9th or 5th house, the person concerned will be thinking about his children and their welfare etc.
If the lord of the 10th house be devoid of strength at the time of a birth, the person concerned will be thoroughly inactive without doing any useful action worth the name.
If on the other hand, the lord of the 10th occupy his own place in conjunction with a benefic, the native will command the respect of others.
34-35. If the lord of the 1st, 8th and 11th houses be posited in the 11th, a Kendra or a Trikona house, the native will be long lived.
If malefics occupy Panaphara (2nd, 5th, 8th or 11th), 4th or 3rd house, he will be of medium life.
If the said planets be placed in Apoklima (3rd, 6th, 9th or 12th) houses, the native should be declared as short-lived.
Find which of the following is weak: viz., planets in the 8th, the lord of the Ascendant and the 10th houses and Saturn. Till the Dasha period of the weakest among them, the life of native will prolong.
If the lords of the 9th, 10th and the 5th house should occupy their own Rashis, the native will be virtuously disposed during the Dasha period of the strongest of them.
If on the contrary the said lords be not be so placed, (i.e., occupy other’s houses), the mental disposition also will be otherwise.
If the lords of the 1st and 8th houses be conjoined with Saturn, Rahu or Ketu and be posited in the 6th house, wounds will crop up during the Dasha of the stronger of the said two planets (viz., the lords of the 1st and the 8th).

All questions relating to the native’s prosperity, luck, etc., should be guessed through the 9th house that is, through the nature of the Rashi, its lord, the planet or planets occupying the house, the planets aspecting the house, etc. Similarly should matters relating to the Sovereign, or Government, ornaments, clothing, horses, great undertaking, etc., be ascertained from the 10th house; income, acquisition of everything should be thought of through the 11th house. Lastly, if the lord of the 12th house be posited in the Ascendant, the person born will be sweet-tongued and handsome. If the said planet occupy his own house, the native will be niggardly and low minded. He will own cattle of various kinds and will always be engaged in village politics. If the planet concerned be in the 9th house, the native will be intent on undertaking pilgrimages to holy shrines. He will be extremely virtuous and charitably disposed. When the planet is conjoined with a malefic in that house, the person concerned will commit sinful acts; he will destroy by corrupt means the entire wealth accumulated till then. Thus should be described by the wise the effects of the several yogas.
