13. Saturn in Libra produces an outstanding man who desires money; one who obtains honour by wandering in foreign countries for wealth and money; one whose position is enhanced by strength and power (?);
14. A nobly speaking leader of assembly (sabha) and tribe (gana); a lord of rich territory, protecting his lands and cattle; one whose treasure is firm in the protection of his allies; [one who is pleased by actresses, sinful women, and whores.]
15. 16.Saturn in the eighth sign (Scorpio) produces a man who delights in enmity and harshness; one who deviates from righteousness (dharma) and is burnt by poisoned swords; a man whose anger is fierce and who has an abundance of miseries;
17. Saturn in Sagittarius produces a soft man who speaks little and rejoice in acting according to his own dharma; one who knows the meaning of sacred tradition (sruti), the intelligible (?), judicial procedure, learning, and how to speak about affairs, and who has great fame;
18. a man renowned on earth and obtaining honor because of the various noble qualities of the sons of others (whom he has taught); one who, at first abandoning his property because of his saintly (sadhu) qualities, acquires wealth at the end of his life and is very prosperous.

25. Thus, because of the positions, qualities, and natures of the planets, and because of (the signs) which have the temporal and other strengths of their lords, (the planets) produce men of various qualities, characteristic marks, and forms, who have diverse orders, conducts, and fortunes.
26. As this arranging by the planets is realized when they enter into the signs, so is it to be established as arising naturally when they arc in dvadashamshas (bhagas) and navamshas (of the signs).
27. If a planet in its own varga, navamsha, or term is in a cardine, it gives a result such as that which has been described; but if they arc in each other’s (vargas) and are opposite to the degrees of their exaltations, they are full of the reverse influence.
