लग्नाद्वा लग्नपादाद्वा केन्द्रत्रिकोणगा ग्रहाः। राजयोगं प्रवर्तन्ते नॄणां भाग्यविवर्धनम्॥
lagnādvā lagnapādādvā kendratrikōṇagā grahāḥ | rājayogaṃ pravartante nṝṇāṃ bhāgyavivardhanam ||
Planets placed in kendras or trikoṇas from the lagna or its navāmśa produce rāja yoga, greatly enhancing the native's fortune and prosperity.
मूलत्रिकोणनिजतुङ्गगृहोपगाता भौमज्ञजीवसितभानुसुता बलिष्ठाः । केन्द्रस्थिता यदा रुचभद्रहंसमालव्यचारुशशयोगकरा भवन्ति ॥
mūlatrikoṇanijatuṅgagṛhopagātā bhaumajñajīvasitabhānusutā baliṣṭhāḥ | kendrasthitā yadā rucabhadrahaṃsamālavyacāruśaśayogakarā bhavanti ||
When Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn are mighty — lodged in their mūlatrikoṇa, own house or exaltation — and stand in a kendra, they produce the Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya and Sasa yogas respectively.
नीचङ्गतो जन्मनि यो ग्रहः स्यात्तद्राशिनाथोऽपि तदुच्चनाथः । स चन्द्रलग्नाद्यदि केन्द्रवर्ती राजा भवेद्धर्मिकचक्रवर्ती ॥
nīcaṅgato janmani yo grahaḥ syāt tadrāśinātho'pi taduccanāthaḥ | sa candralagnādyadi kendravartī rājā bhaved dharmikacakravartī ||
If a planet debilitated at birth has its sign-lord or exaltation-lord standing in a kendra from the lagna or the Moon, that cancellation of debilitation makes the native a righteous emperor.
प्रधानबलसंयुक्तः सम्पूर्णः शशलाञ्छनः । एकोऽपि कुरुते जातं नराधिपमरिन्दमम् ॥
pradhānabalasaṃyuktaḥ sampūrṇaḥ śaśalāñchanaḥ | eko'pi kurute jātaṃ narādhipamarindamam ||
Even a single planet endowed with paramount strength, complete in vigour and bearing the moon's insignia of dignity, makes the born native an unopposed ruler.
धर्मेशलाभेशधनेश्वराणामेकोऽपि शीतद्युतिकेन्द्रवर्ती । स्वयं च लाभाधिपतिर्गुरुश्चेदखण्डसाभ्राज्यपतित्वमेति ॥
dharmeśalābheśadhaneśvarāṇām eko'pi śītadyutikendravartī | svayaṃ ca lābhādhipatir gurus ced akhaṇḍasābhrājyapatitvam eti ||
If even one among the lords of the 9th, 11th and 2nd, cool-rayed, stands in a kendra, and Jupiter himself becomes the lord of gains, the native attains undivided lordship of the realm.
