10. If there be a fixed sign on the ascendant and if it is occupied by the Sun or Jupiter, the enemy is quiet in his own place. But if the same planets are placed in a movable sign in the ascendant, it should be told that the enemy will come soon.
11. If Jupiter and Venus are placed separately or together in the second or the third house, the enemy comes very soon. If the lords of the 1st, 9th and 10th house are placed in fixed signs, the enemy never comes.

Chapter 6 – Queries about one who is Abroad
1. If all the planets are situated in 3rd, 5th and 2nd house the person who has gone abroad surely returns. Benefics in these places cause the retrieval of lost object. If Jupiter or Venus is placed there the person returns quickly.
2. If Jupiter is situated in a quadrant and there is a planet in the 6th or 7th then the person who has gone abroad returns. Similarly, if Mercury or Venus is placed in the 5th or 9th houses the person returns.
3. If the Moon is placed in the 8th House, and there is no malefic in the angles the person who has gone abroad returns happily. If there is a benefic planet in the angles, he returns with gains.
4. If a prishthodaya sign happens to be the ascendant and the same is aspected by a malefic, the person who has gone abroad is dead or he is in jail. If the ascendant is aspected by a benefic planet, the bad results do not happen. If a malefic is placed in the 6th, Kendra or 3rd house the person is either lost, gone elsewhere or has fallen from his position.
5. If Jupiter and Venus be placed in the 2nd and 3rd houses in any manner, the person gone abroad, will surely return. If they be placed in the 4th house, the person gone abroad definitely enters his house (returns).
6. If malefics are placed in the 3rd or 11th houses and benefics are situated in Kendras and Trikonas (i.e., 1, 4, 7, 10, 5 and 9) the person surely returns.
7. If Saturn is placed in 4th, 8th, 9th or 5th house in the sign owned by a malefic and aspected by a malefic, the person who has gone abroad is definitely put to confinement in jail etc.
8. If the ascendant falls in fixed sign and the same is occupied by a benefic, the confinement is permanent. But, if the ascendant falls in a movable sign and contains a malefic planet, he is released from imprisonment early. If there is a dual sign on the ascendant, release takes place after some time.
9. If malefics are placed in 5th, 9th and 7th houses and if they are aspected by planets inimical to them and if the ascendant falls in a Prishthodaya sign not aspected by benefics death of the traveller on the way is indicated.
10. If a benefic is placed in the 9th house, the traveller does not encounter any kind of trouble on the way. If there be a malefic planet on the ascendant there will be fear, diseases, difficulties and other troubles on the way
Chapter 7 – Success and Defeat
1. The benefics placed in the 10th 7th and 1st houses bestow victory to the king residing in the city (i.e. one attacked). Saturn and
Mars placed in the 9th house cause fear and defeat but the benefics Jupiter, Venus and Mercury placed in the 9th house confer victory on him.
2. In the chart of query, the six houses beginning from the third belong to the citizens’ king residing in the city who is being attacked. The six houses beginning from the ninth belong to the invader. The part conjoined with benefics gives victory to the party indicated by the same. The part containing malefics causes defeat to the corresponding party.
3. If both benefics and malefics are placed in these parts, mixed results are to be predicted. Some scholars state differently – malefics posited in 10th, 11th and 12th houses cause benefic results to the invader but produce malefic results to the citizens
4. Even if malefics are placed in anyone of the signs Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Virgo and Aries, the invader gets success and the one who is attacked is defeated.
5. If there is a human sign on the ascendant and there are malefics in the quadrants, 12th house and 11th house the two parties will enter into treaty very soon. If malefics are placed in dual signs, enmity between the two parties will be the result.
6. If there is a human sign on the ascendant and the same is aspected by benefics or if there are benefics in the quadrants there is enmity between the two parties. If on the said ascendant, there is malefic aspect or if there are malefic planets in those places, enmity between the two parties is the result.
7. If there is a sign owned by a malefic on the ascendant and if the same is aspected or combined with malefics, a terrible war is to be predicted. If there be aspect of benefic planets over the same, the war will be a small one.
8. The Yavanacharya has declared that keeping the Sun, Wind, Jupiter and Venus on the back side one wins his enemies and attains fame.
