बृहत्संहिता (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - स्थापत्य, खगोल, मौसम व जल विज्ञान)

728 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. XCVI. Sl. 12-13.
If the Lagna is an odd number from the Sun's Rasi, it is
good; if even, bad.
काणेनाक्ष्णा दक्षिणेनैति सूर्ये चन्द्रे लग्नाद् द्वादशे चेतरेण ।
लग्नस्थेऽर्के पापद्बष्टेऽन्ध एव कुब्जः स्वर्क्षे श्रोत्रहीनो जडो वा ॥१२॥
क्रूरः षष्ठे क्रूरदृष्टो विलग्नाद् यस्मिन् राशौ तद्गृहाङ्गे व्रणोऽस्य ।
एवं प्रोक्तं यन्मया जन्मकाले चिह्नं रूपं तत्तदस्मिन् विचिन्त्यम् ॥
Slokas 12-13.—If the Sun is posited in the 12th
place from the Lagna at the time, the person whom one
will meet will be blind of the right eye; if the Moon be
there, he will be blind of the left eye; if the Sun be in
the Lagna itself and be aspected by malefics, he will be
completely blind. If the Sun in the above condition be
in his own Rasi, he will be hunch-backed, deaf or an
imbecile. If the 6th house from the Lagna be occupied
and aspected by malefics, the person will have ulcer in
the limb indicated by that sign. In this way, whatever
marks or forms (colours) have been expounded by me
in connection with the time of births will have to be
adopted here too.
This shows clearly that Brihatjataka was written first and
then only this book.
अथाऽऽगतस्याख्याज्ञानमाचार्यः करोति । तच्चाल्पबहुलं स्वल्पग्रन्थं
मृदुबुद्धीनामगम्यमतोऽस्माभिस्तदेव बोधियात्रायां यवनेश्वरकृतश्चाक्षरकोशो
व्याख्यायते-
अतः परं लोकनिरूपितानि द्रव्येषु नानाक्षरसङ्ग्रहाणि ।
इष्टप्रणीतानि विभाजितानि नामानि केन्द्रक्रमशः प्रवक्ष्ये ॥१॥

1. Hereafter I shall explain in the order of the Kendras
   the names that are held by the objects of the world, viz., mineral,
   vegetables and animals with multifarious distinctions made at
   will and composed of various syllables.
