Verse 1 — Malefics in Upachaya Houses (3, 6, 11) Elevate Destiny

त्रिषड्लाभगताः पापाः प्रकुर्वन्ति शुभां दशाम् । भाग्यवृद्धिं च कुर्वन्ति जातस्य सततं ध्रुवम् ॥ १ ॥

triṣadlābhagatāḥ pāpāḥ prakurvanti śubhāṃ daśām | bhāgyavṛddhiṃ ca kurvanti jātasya satataṃ dhruvam || 1 ||

Natural malefic planets situated in Upachaya houses (3rd, 6th, and 11th) yield auspicious results and advance fortune during their major Dasa periods.

Verse 2 — Ramanuja's Axiom: Bhava Karaka in 12th House from Lagna

भावकारके लग्नस्थाद् द्वादशस्थानगते सति । तद्भावस्य शुभं विद्याद् रामानुजमतं यथा ॥ २ ॥

bhāvakārake lagnasthād dvādaśasthānagate sati | tadbhāvasya śubhaṃ vidyād rāmānujamataṃ yathā || 2 ||

The native will be highly fortunate in respect of the indications of a house if the natural karaka of that house is situated in the 12th house from Lagna. This is Ramanuja's defining formula.
