तथा च काश्यपः
मकरे सस्यसीसं च सुवर्णगुडधातुजम् ।
कुंभे कुसुमचित्राणि हंसाश्च जलजास्तथा ॥

राशेश्चतुर्दशार्थायसप्तनवपञ्चमस्थितो जीवः ।
द्व्येकादशदशपञ्चाष्टमेषु शशिजश्च वृद्धिकरः ॥९॥
षट्सप्तमगो हानिं वृद्धिं शुक्रः करोति शेषेषु ।
उपचयसंस्थाः क्रूराः शुभदाः शेषेषु हानिकराः ॥१०॥
Slokas 9-10.—Jupiter posited in the 4th, the 10th,
the 2nd, the 11th, the 7th, the 9th or the 5th house from
any Rasi causes the increase of the objects assigned there-
to. So does Mercury, when posited in the 2nd, the 11th, the
10th, the 5th or the 8th house therefrom. Venus posited
in the 6th or the 7th house from a Rasi destroys its
objects while in the other houses, he promotes their growth,
Malefics posited in the 3rd, the 6th, the 10th and the
11th houses from a Rasi prove beneficial, while in the
rest, they are harmful.
