and Saturn, in the latter half. The गीति-Giti and उपगीति-
Upagiti varieties of the Arya follow respectively the first
half and second half of the ordinary Arya in both the
halves.
Cf. बृ. जा. XXII-6.
आदौ यादृक् सौम्यः पश्चादपि तादृशो भवति ।
उपगीतेर्मात्राणां गणवत् सत्सम्प्रयोगो वा ॥५०॥
Sloka 50.—Mercury causes the same effects at the
end of a Rasi as in its beginning (that is, the same effects
throughout the sign), just as the number of groups of
Matras is the same in both the halves of the Upagiti, or
as friendship with the virtuous.
Cf. बृ. जा. - शशितनयः फलदस्तु सर्वकालम् ।
आर्याणामपि कुरुते विनाशमन्तर्गुरुर्विषमसंस्थः ।
गण इव षष्ठे दृष्टः स सर्वलघुतां जनं नयति ॥५१॥
Sloka 51.—Jupiter passing through the middle of
odd houses produces disasters even to the righteous, and
when through the 6th house, reduces the person to abject
slavery or degradation, just as all varieties of the आर्या are
spoiled by the presence of the जगण in the odd places, but
it should be found in the 6th group, or it should consist
of four short syllables,
Here the author gives the rule about the use of जगण in Arya
metre. This has been already given in our notes on the 2nd
Sloka of this Chapter.
अशुभनिरीक्षितः शुभफलो बलिना बलवा-
नशुभफलप्रदश्च शुभदृग्विषयोपगतः ।
अशुभशुभावपि स्वफलयोर्व्रजतः समता-
मिदमपि गीतकं च खलु नर्कुटकं च यथा ॥५२॥
