5. If the lord of the 10th house be in the Ascendant and the lord of the latter in the 10th, the person born will be a king highly renowned for his beauty and acquisitions, intent on worshipping elders, very greedy and wealthy.
If the lord of the Ascendant be in the 11th house and the lord of the latter in the Ascendant, the person concerned will do virtuous deeds, will be long-lived and he will own lands, and good birds. He will further be a very learned man.
6. If the lord of the Ascendant be in the 12th and the lord of the 12th occupy the Ascendant, the person born will be disliked by all, will be wanting in intelligence, will be extremely miserly, will destroy wealth and be very loose (in habits and morals).
Thus should predictions be made in the case of father and others also of the native by intelligent astrologers by constituting as the Ascendant the particular house indicated by the relative and the house succeeding it as the second third; etc., with respect to that house.
If Venus be conjoined with the lord of the Ascendant (in a house other than three Dusthanas), the native will command the respect of the sovereign.
7. Thus have I composed this dignified and charming work, Jatakalankara, in which the effects (caused by the planets) can be easily divined, in 110 verses, according to my capabilities, for the delectation of the astrologers.
8. Let this refined utterance of mine about horoscopes which is based on the planets transiting in the sky and is the quintessence of horoscopy sport in your simple mind, like the spotless swan in the lake Manias.
9. In this work named Jatakalankara the sixth chapter on Bhavas consisting of 8 charming verses has been composed by the learned Ganesha for the delectation of the wise.
Chapter 7 Vansha Adhyaya
1. There lived in this Globe a great learned man, Kanhajee, by name, a Mahendra among astrologers, a repository of the Vedas and the codes of laws, and an ornament to the assembly of the learned; he was shining like the morning lustre in the court of the Guzerat king who was very powerful in conquering his enemies and he was an ornament to the entire race of poets at the time.
2. He belonged to the great Bharadwaja family and had three sons. The eldest Suryadasha, became a great and intelligent astrologer. His next younger brother, Gopal by name, became well-versed in all the arts; and the brother next to him Ramakrishna by name, became the best of astrologers.
3. In the month of Bhadrapada in Salivahana Saka 1535 (1613 AD) the talented Ganesha, the son of Gopal, himself composed this fine astrological work for the satisfaction of his preceptor Siva in Bradhnapura. He was well-versed in metrical science (prosody) poetics, poetry, drama and the arts, and was a disciple of Siva and was also the repository of mathematical knowledge.
4. May those astrologers who are going to pursue this work be long lived and happy; and may their good fame, white as the Kairava (white lotus) and Kunda flowers, spread in all quarters.
5. In this work named Jatakalankara the 7th Adhyaya on the ‘author’s parentage’ has been composed in four charming verses for the delectation of the wise.
Thus ends the 7th Adhyaya in the work Jatakalankara.
