सूर्यः षट्त्रिदशस्थितस्त्रिदशषट्सप्ताद्यगश्चन्द्रमा
जीवः सप्तनवद्विपञ्चमगतो वक्रार्कजौ षट्त्रिगौ ।

शुक्रः सप्तमषड्दशर्क्षसहितः शार्दूलवत् त्रासकृत् ॥४॥
Sloka 4.—The Sun in his transit is beneficial in the
6th, 3rd and 10th places from the Janma Rasi; the Moon
in the Janma Rasi, the 3rd, 6th, 7th and the 10th houses;
Jupiter, in the 2nd, 5th, 7th and 9th ; Mars and Saturn,
in the 3rd and 6th ; Mercury, in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th
and 10th ; all the planets are beneficial when they tran-
sit the 11th place. Venus causes dread like the tiger in
the 6th, 7th and 10th ; (in other places, he confers bene-
ficial results).

correct results of transit. See जा-पा Adhyaya XIII-60 and फ-दी.

Sloka 5.—The Sun passing through the Janma Rasi
causes fatigue, reduces wealth, brings on bowel-disease
and wearisome travelling. When he transits the 2nd
house, there will be loss of wealth and the person will be
unhappy. He will be duped and suffer from eye-trouble.
