be successfully completed. A new position, honour, wealth
and freedom from disease will be the effect of the Sun's
transit in the 11th house. When the Sun passes through
the 12th, the activities of only those that have a bright
character will be successful and not of others.
This is in सुवृत्ता metre - A पाद consists of 19 syllables
यभौ न्सौरौ गश्चेद्विरसमुनिभिः स्याद्विरामैः सुवृत्ता-
शशी जन्मन्यन्नप्रवरशयनाच्छादनकरो
द्वितीये मानार्थान् ग्लपयति सविघ्नश्च भवति ।
तृतीये वस्त्रस्त्रीधनविजयसौख्यानि लभते
चतुर्थेऽविश्वासः शिखरिणि भुजङ्गेन सदृशः ॥८॥
Sloka 8.--The Moon in her travel through the Janma
Rasi gives excellent dishes, couches and shawls ; in the
2nd, reduces honour and wealth and causes impediments;
in the 3rd, confers clothes, damsels, wealth, success and
happiness ; when she is in the 4th, one loses trust in others,
as in a mountain infested with snakes
The metre is शिखरिणी- (17 syllables).
रसै रुद्रैश्छिन्ना यमनसभलागः शिखरिणी.
दैन्यं व्याधिं शुचमपि शशी पञ्चमे मार्गविघ्नं
षष्ठे वित्तं जनयति सुखं शत्रुरोगक्षयं च ।
यानं मानं शयनमशनं सप्तमे वित्तलाभं
मन्दाक्रान्ते फणिनि हिमगौ चाष्टमे भीर्न कस्य ॥९॥
Sloka 9.--The Moon in the 5th brings about humi-
liation, illness, grief and obstruction to journey ; in the
6th, confers wealth and happiness and destroys enemies
and diseases; in the 7th confers vehicles, honour, couches,
food and money. Whoever is not frightened as by a snake
trodden upon accidentally, when the Moon is in the 8th ?
