Sloka 20 : A scion of a royal family will become a King if at his birth Venus is aspected by Jupiter. Jupiter occupying a Rasi other than Makara identical with the Lagna will usher a King endowed with elephants in rut. The lord of the Lagna occupying a Kendra in full strength will cause a ruler of men to be born. Mercury in the above position aspected by Jupiter will usher into the world a person whose, orders will be obeyed by Kings.
Sloka 21 : A single planet occupying his highest exaltation point and aspected by friendly planet produces a King. Such a planet will make him immensely wealthy if he be also associated with another friendly planet. The Sun in his own Amsa and the Moon in Swakshetra will make the person born a King endowed with horses and elephants.
Notes
May also be interpreted as “aspected by the sun”.
Sloka 22 : The Moon with full rays occupying . Meena and aspected by a friendly planet will usher into the world a King pre-eminent in position and delighting the world. If the Moon be full and occupy his exaltation, the person born will become a King, very generous and charitable and praised by the good.
Sloka 23 : The Moon in the Amsa of a very friendly planet and well aspected by Venus will usher into the world a King endowed with much wealth. If the Moon in the above position be aspected by Jupiter, the person born will become a King who will rule the entire earth.
Sloka 24 : The followings are 4 Rajayogas declared by those versed in the science: (1) malefics posited in the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses reckoned from the one occupied by the lord of the Lagna, the Janma Rasi or from the Lagna; (2) Mars and Mercury occupying the 2nd house; (3) the Sun and Venus situated in the 4th house; and (4) Mars, Saturn and Jupiter quartered in the 10th, 11th and the Lagna.
Sloka 25 : If, out of the lords of the 11th, the 9th and the 2nd houses, there be but one that occupies a Kendra position with respect to the Moon and if Jupiter happens to be the lord of the 2nd, the 5th or the 11th house, the person born under the Yoga will become the ruler of a full-blown empire.
Sloka 26 : If, at a birth, a planet be in its depression and if the lord; of the sign of depression or that of the planet’s exaltation Rasi be in a Kendra position with respect to the Moon’s place or the Lagna, the person born will be a King and a just ruler.
According to some means the planet that is exalted in that Rasi:
Sloka 27 : When planet is in depression, if the lord of that depression sign and the lord of the planet’s exaltation sign are in Kendra positions mutually, the Yoga will produce a King who will become an emperor respected by all the other Kings.
Sloka 28 : When a planet is in depression, but is aspected by the lord of that Rasi, the Yoga will make the native a ruler of the earth and famous. And in the above Yoga if that depressed planet should be in an auspicious house (that is in a house other than the 6th, 8th or 12th), where is the doubt about his becoming a foremost King?
Sloka 29 : When a planet occupies his depression sign, if the lord of the Rasi so occupied or the lord of the planet’s exaltation Rasi be in a Kendra position with respect to the Lagna or the Moon, the person born will become an emperor endowed with full riches; will be virtually disposed, respected by other Kings, mighty, famous and affluent.
Sloka 30 : If a planet be in depression and if the lord of that depression sign as well as that of the planet’s exaltation sign, or at least one of them be in a Kendra, the person born will become an emperor and will be saluted by other Kings.
Notes
Here the words may also be rendered as “the one in depression.”
There are five kinds of as follows :
(1) The lord of the depression sign or the planet that is exalted in that sign is in a Kendra position from the Lagna or the Moon. (2) The lord of the depression sign and the lord of the exaltation sign of the depressed planet are mutually in Kendra positions. (3) The planet in depression is aspected by the lord of that sign. (4) The lord of the depression sign or the lord of the exaltation sign of the depressed planet is in Kendra from the Lagna or the Moon. (5) The planet in depression is in Kendra with respect to the Lagna or the Moon.
Thus ends the 7th Adhyaya on “Maharaja Yogas” in the work Phaladeepika composed by Mantreswara.
