धनेशो लग्ननाथश्च यदा नीचगतौ स्थितौ। दरिद्रयोगं विदुर्योग्यं दारिद्र्यकरं नृणाम्॥
dhaneśo lagnanāthaśca yadā nīcagate sthitau | daridrayogaṃ viduryogyaṃ dāridryakaraṃ nṛṇām ||
When the lord of wealth (the 2nd) and the lord of the lagna both occupy debility, the learned declare it the Daridra yoga, the cause of poverty for men.
लाभेशो नीचसंस्थो वा षड्रिप्वाष्टमगोऽस्तमितः। दरिद्रयोगः स विज्ञेयो धनहानिकरः सदा॥
lābheśo nīcasaṃstho vā ṣaḍripvaṣṭamago 'stamitaḥ | daridrayogaḥ sa vijñeyo dhanahānikaraḥ sadā ||
When the lord of the 11th is debilitated, occupies the 6th or the 8th house, or is combust, it constitutes a Daridra yoga which always causes loss of wealth.
धनस्थपापकर्तर्यां लग्नेशे निःपराक्रमे। महती दारिद्र्यता ज्ञेया धनधान्यविवर्जिते॥
dhanasthapāpakartaryāṃ lagneśe niḥparākrame | mahatī dāridryatā jñeyā dhanadhānyavivarjite ||
When the 2nd house suffers papakartari (hemmed by malefics on both sides) and the lagna lord stands deprived of strength, great poverty bereft of wealth and grains must be predicted.
