Verse 1 — Bandhana (Confinement) Yoga

लग्नेशे रिपुस्थानस्थे पापैर्दृष्टे विनाशके। बन्धनं प्राप्नुयात् जन्तुर्बन्धनेशे बले सति॥

lagnyeśe ripusthānasthe pāpairdṛṣṭe vināśake | bandhanaṃ prāpnuyāt jantur bandaneśe bale sati ||

When the lord of the lagna occupies a trik house (6th, 8th or 12th) and is aspected by malefics, and the lord of the 12th (the house of bondage) is strong, the native meets with confinement or bondage.

Verse 2 — Bandhana from the Lords of the 4th and 12th

चतुर्थद्वादशाधीशौ लग्ने पापैः समन्वितौ। चतुर्थे द्वादशगे पापे बन्धनं निश्चितं भवेत्॥

caturthadvādaśādhīśau lagne pāpaiḥ samanvitau | caturthe dvādaśage pāpe bandhanaṃ niścitaṃ bhavet ||

When the lords of the 4th and 12th occupy the lagna afflicted by malefics, or malefics stand in the 4th and 12th houses, confinement of the native becomes certain.

Verse 3 — Bandhana from Rahu-Saturn and Enemy Nakshatras

लग्नेशे राहुशनिदृष्टे शत्रुनक्षत्रजन्मनि। बद्ध्वा पाशं नरं राजा कारयेत् सुचिरं द्विज॥

lagneśe rāhuśanidṛṣṭe śatrunakṣatrajanmani | badhvā pāśaṃ naraṃ rājā kārayet suciraṃ dvija ||

If the lagna lord is aspected by Rahu and Saturn, and the birth falls in a nakshatra belonging to enemy planets, the king binds such a person in fetters for a long time.
