Stanza 15:
If lagna is in Dhanus, or falls in that amsa, if all the planets are powerful Sani and Budha, then predict many children at one birth.
Stanza 16:
Kalala, Ghana, Ankura, Asthi, Charma, Angaja, Chetamatha are governed by Sukra, Kuja, Guru, Ravi, Chandra, Sani and Budha respectively. The lord of lagna, Chandra, and Ravi are rulers of the next three months respectively. The foetal growth depends upon the strength and weakness of the planets, who govern the particular month.
Stanza 17:
If Budha is in thrikona, and other planets are powerless, then the child will have two faces, four hands, and four legs with one face. If the Moon is in Taurus, and evil planets are in Ruksha Sandhis, predict a dumb child. If, in this conjunction, the Moon has beneficial aspect, the child begins to speak very late in life.
Stanza 18:
If Sani and Kuja occupy Budha’s houses or navamsas, the child will be born with teeth. If Kataka is lagna with Chandra init, having the aspects of Sani and Kuja, the child will be dwarf. If Meena becomes lagna becomes a cripple. If the Rasi Sandhis are occupied by malefics and the Moon, the child will be deaf. In all these cases there must be no beneficial aspects.
Stanza 19:
If the last navamsa of Makara is lagna aspected by Sani, Chandra and Ravi then a dwarf is born. If malefics occupy the 5th, 9th and 1st drekkanas, handless, feetless and headless child respectively must be predicted.
Stanza 20:
If Leo is birth occupied by the Sun and the Moon, aspected by Mars and Saturn the child will be blind. If in the above combination there is also beneficial aspect the vision will be dim. The Moon in the 12th house causes loss to the left eye and the Sun there causes loss to the right eye. Beneficial aspects give some relief in these combinations.
Stanza 21:
The birth of a child takes place in the sign occupied by the Moon, which is represented by the number, in which Dwadasamsa, the Moon is fixed at the time. The day or the night and the ghaties of the birth time must be known by the number of the ghaties at the time of the question and the nature of the sign whether diurnal or nocturnal.
Stanza 22:
If Makara or Kumbha navamsa rises at the time of conception, aspected by Sani, the child will be born after 4 years. If Katakamsa rises at the time of conception, aspected by Chandra, then the birth occurs after 12 years of pregnancy. The details in this chapter must be carefully understood and applied with sense and judgment.
