आत्मकारकांशसंस्थास्ते ग्रहाः स्वांशगतास्तथा। योगाः स्वामिकांशस्थाः प्रोक्ताः फलदाः सदा॥
ātmakārakāṃśasaṃsthāste grahāḥ svāṃśagatāstathā | yogāḥ svāmikāṃśasthāḥ proktāḥ phaladāḥ sadā ||
The planets posited in the Navamsha of the Atmakaraka, and those placed in their own Navamsha, form yogas in the Swamsha (the Atmakaraka's own Navamsha) which ever bestow results.
अथाऽहं सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि कारकांशफलं द्विज । मेषादिराशिगे स्वांशे यथावद् ब्रह्मभाषितम् ॥ १॥
athā 'haṃ sampravakṣyāmi kārakāṃśaphalaṃ dvija | meṣādirāśige svāṃśe yathāvad brahmabhāṣitam || 1||
Now I shall declare the fruits of the Karakamsha, O Brahmin — according to the Navamsha sign from Aries onward, exactly as spoken by Brahma.
गृहे मूषकमार्जारौ मेषांशे ह्यात्मकारके । सदा भयप्रदौ विप्र पापयुते विशेषतः ॥ २॥
gṛhe mūṣakamārjārau meṣāṃśe hy ātmakārake | sadā bhayapradau vipra pāpayute viśeṣataḥ || 2||
With the Atmakaraka in the Aries amsha, rats and cats give fear — especially when joined with malefics, O Brahmin.
वृषांशकगते स्वस्मिन् सुखदाश्च चतुष्पदाः । मिथुनांशगते तस्मिन् कण्डूरादिव्याधिसम्भवः ॥ ३॥
vṛṣāṃśakagate svasmin sukhadāśca catuṣpadāḥ | mithunāṃśagate tasmin kaṇḍūrādivyādhisambhavaḥ || 3||
Atmakaraka in Taurus-amsha gives happiness through quadrupeds (cattle etc.); in Gemini-amsha, itching-skin and such diseases arise.
कर्कांशे च जलाद्भीतिः सिंहांशे श्वपदाद्भयम् । कण्डूः स्थौल्यञ्च कन्यांशे तथा बह्निकणाद्भयम् ॥ ४॥
karkāṃśe ca jalādbhītiḥ siṃhāṃśe śvapadādbhayam | kaṇḍūḥ sthaulyañca kanyāṃśe tathā vahnikaṇādbhayam || 4||
In Cancer-amsha fear is from water; Leo-amsha brings fear from dogs; Virgo-amsha gives itching and corpulence, plus fear from fire-sparks.
तुलांशे च वणिग् जातो वस्त्रादिनिर्मितौ पटुः । अल्यंशे सर्पतो भीतिः पीड़ा मातुः पयोधरे ॥ ५॥
tulāṃśe ca vaṇig jāto vasrādinirmitau paṭuḥ | alyaṃśe sarpato bhītiḥ pīḍā mātuḥ payodhare || 5||
Libra-amsha makes one a trader, clever in making beds and garments; Scorpio-amsha gives fear of serpents and trouble to the mother's breasts.
धनुरंशे क्रमादुच्चातपतनं वाहनादपि । मरकांशे जलोद्भूतैर्जन्तुभिः खेचरस्तथा ॥
dhanuraṃśe kramād uccāt patanaṃ vāhanād api | marakāṃśe jalodbhūtair jantubhiḥ khecaraṃ tathā ||
With the Atmakaraka in Sagittarius-amsha one suffers falls from a height or from a vehicle; in the Maraka (Capricorn) amsha, afflictions come from creatures born of water and from birds.
शंखमुक्ताप्रवालाद्यैर्लाभो भवति निश्चितः । कुम्भांशे च तडागादिकारको जायते जनः ॥ मीनांशे कारके जातो मुक्तिभाग् द्विजसत्तम । नाऽशुभं शुभसंदृष्टे न शुभं पापवीक्षिते ॥
śaṅkhamuktāpravālādyair lābho bhavati niścitaḥ | kumbhāṃśe ca taḍāgādikārako jāyate janaḥ || mīnāṃśe kārake jāto muktibhāg dvijasattama | nā 'śubhaṃ śubhasandṛṣṭe na śubhaṃ pāpavīkṣite ||
Gains through shells, pearls and corals are certain; in Aquarius-amsha one becomes a maker of tanks and similar public works. Born with Karakamsha in Pisces-amsha — O best of twice-born — one obtains a share of liberation: nothing inauspicious when aspected by benefics, nothing auspicious when seen by malefics.
कारकांशे शुभे विप्र लग्नांशे च शुभग्रहे । शुभसंवीक्षिते जातो राजा भवति निश्चितः ॥
kārakāṃśe śubhe vipra lag-nāṃśe ca śubhagrahe | śubhasaṃvīkṣite jāto rājā bhavati niścitaḥ ||
O Brahmin — when a benefic occupies the Karakamsha or the Lagna-amsha, aspected by another benefic, the native is certainly born a king.
स्वांशच्छुभग्रहाः केन्द्रे कोणे बा पापवर्जिताः । धनविद्यायुतो जातो मिश्रैर्मिश्रफलं वदेत् ॥
svāṃśac chubhagrahāḥ kendre koṇe vā pāpavarjitāḥ | dhanavidyāyuto jāto miśrair miśraphalaṃ vadet ||
Benefics in the Swamsha placed in kendra or trikona, free of malefics, make one endowed with wealth and learning; mixed planets give mixed results.
