If three or more planets occupy their exaltation or own signs situated in Kendra houses (1, 4, 7, 10), the person becomes a famous king. If five or more planets are so placed in Kendras, the person, even if born in a different or ordinary family, becomes a king endowed with a multitude of elephants and horses.

If the birth does not occur in a Duryoga, and if the yogakaraka planets mentioned above are not combust by proximity to the Sun, a child born in a royal family under these yogas definitely becomes a king. If three or more planets are in own or exaltation signs in Kendras, they make a person born in a royal family a king; a person born in an ordinary family becomes king-like in splendor or may even become a king.
Verse 3 — Verse 3
यद्येकोऽपि विराजितंशुनिकरः सुस्थानगो वक्रगो

एवं चेज्जनयन्ति भूपतिनमी शस्तांशराशिस्थिता
स्तद्वच्चेद्वहवो नृपं समकुटच्छत्रोल्लसच्चामरम् ॥ ३॥
Even if a single planet, even if in its debilitation sign, is retrograde in a good house (other than 6, 8, 12) with brilliant rays, it is capable of making the native rich and splendid like a king. If two or more such planets are present in the birth chart, they enable the native to become a king. If many such planets are present, they make the native a king decorated with all royal emblems such as crown, throne, umbrella, and fly-whisks.
Verse 4 — Verse 4
द्वौ वा त्र्याद्या दिग्बलयुक्ता यदिजातः
क्ष्माभृद्वंशे भूमिपतिः स्याज्जयशीलः ।
हित्वा मन्दं पञ्चखगा दिग्बलयुक्ताश्चत्वारो वा भूपतिरन्यान्वयजोऽपि ॥ ४॥
If two or three or more planets possess directional strength (Digbala), a person born in a royal lineage becomes a victorious king. Excluding Saturn, if five planets (or even four planets) possess directional strength, even a person born in an ordinary family becomes a king.
If the Vargottama Navamsha rises in Lagna, or if the Moon is in Vargottama Navamsha and four planets other than the Moon aspect the Lagna, a person born even in a base or lowly family becomes a king.
Verse 6 — Verse 6

सुखासीनं भूपं जनयति लसच्चामरयुगम् ॥ ६॥
If the Lagna lord is in a Kendra or 9th house and in Vargottama Navamsha, and the 9th lord is in its exaltation or own sign also in Vargottama Navamsha, a king is born who comfortably sits on a gold-decked seat placed on an elephant's back, attended by two shining fly-whisks.
If the Moon possessed of white brilliance (bright rays) is aspected by a planet in its exaltation or own sign, even a person born in a Nishada (low) caste becomes a king. If the Moon possessed of full digits and bright rays is in a Kendra other than Lagna (i.e., 4th, 7th, or 10th house), a king endowed with elephants and horses is born.

If Venus is in the Lagna in Ashwini Nakshatra and aspected by three planets, one becomes a king who conquers enemies. If the Lagna lord is with Venus in the 2nd house, and that 2nd house sign is neither their enemy's nor debilitation sign, and the Lagna lord is strong, the person becomes a king.
If Mars occupies the Lagna in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius, and is aspected by friendly planets, a ruler of the earth is born. If the 10th lord is in the 9th house and the 9th lord is in the 10th house, a king born is praised and revered by his subjects.
If Sun and Moon are in the middle of Sagittarius (15°), Saturn is in Lagna, and Mars is fully strong in its exaltation sign, a majestic king is born whose burning valor frightens enemies into bowing from afar.
Verse 11 — Verse 11
सुधामृणालोपमविम्बशोभितः शशी नवांशे नलिनीप्रियस्य
यदि क्षितीशो बहुहस्तिपूर्णः शुभाश्च केन्द्रेषु न पापयुक्ताः ॥ ११॥
If the Moon, shining with an orb white as lime or nectar (full Moon), is in the Navamsha of the Sun, and benefic planets unafflicted by malefics occupy Kendras, a king endowed with numerous elephants is born.
If three planets, free from enemy or debilitation vargas and positioned in their own Navamshas with strong rays and aspected by benefics, aspect the Moon which is white as cow's milk or conch, the person born becomes a victorious king over enemies.
Verse 13 — Verse 13
कुमुदगहनबन्धुं श्रेष्ठमंशं प्रपन्नं
यदि बलसमुपेतः पश्यति व्योमचारी ।
उदयभवनसंस्थः पापसंज्ञो न चैवं
भवति मनुजनाथः सर्वभौमः सुदेहः ॥ १३॥
If the Moon in Vargottama Navamsha is aspected by a strong planet, and no malefic planet occupies the Lagna, the person born under this yoga becomes a handsome emperor (universal monarch).
Verse 14 — Verse 14
जिवो बुधो भृगुसुतोऽथ निशाकरो वा
धर्मे विशुद्धतनवः स्फुटरश्मिजालाः ।
मित्रैर्निरीक्षितयुता यदि सूतिकाले

If Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, or Moon, possessed of bright rays, occupy the 9th house, not combust, and aspected or joined by friendly planets at birth, they make the native a great god-like king worshipped like a deity by his subjects.
If Venus and Jupiter are in Pisces along with Saturn, the full Moon is in its exaltation sign (Taurus), and the Sun in Aries Lagna is aspected by Mars, a king is born under whose marching army's dust cloud the Sun appears obscured as if setting, causing lotus flowers to close prematurely.
For a night birth, if benefics occupy 11th, 6th, or 3rd house in enemy or debilitation signs, or are in Kendras in extreme exaltation with brilliant rays, and Moon is in Cancer in the 10th house, the native becomes the sole ruler (emperor) of the three worlds.
If the full Moon is in Vargottama Navamsha, it makes the native an extraordinarily glorious and valiant king whose galloping horses raise dust that covers the Sun, making it resemble the morning Moon.
Verse 18 — Verse 18
केन्द्रगौ यदि च जीवशशाङ्कौ
यस्य जन्मनि च भार्गवदृष्टौ ।
भूपतिर्भवति सोऽतुलकीर्ति

If Jupiter and Moon are in a Kendra aspected by Venus, and no planet is in debilitation sign in the chart, the native becomes a king of immense fame.
If the Moon occupies an aquatic sign or Navamsha in the 1st house (Lagna), or if Moon is in its own or benefic varga and Kendras are free from malefics, the native becomes a king commanding many elephants and working for the welfare of his subjects.
Four Rajayogas are described here: (1) If Venus is aspected by Jupiter, one born in a royal family becomes a king. (2) If Jupiter is in Lagna in any sign other than Capricorn, one becomes a king commanding intoxicated elephants. (3) If the lord of Lagna or Moon sign is strong and placed in a Kendra, the native becomes a king. (4) If Mercury is aspected by Jupiter, even supreme emperors act according to his advice.
If even a single planet is exalted and aspected by a friendly planet, the native becomes a king. If an exalted planet is joined by another friendly planet, the native becomes very rich. If the Sun is in its own Navamsha and the Moon is in its own sign, one becomes a king commanding horses and elephants over many lands.
If the full Moon in Pisces is aspected by a friendly planet, the native becomes a prominent king who delights the world. If the full Moon is in its exaltation sign, the native becomes a charitable ruler praised by virtuous people as lord of the world.
If the Moon is in the Navamsha of a great friend and fully aspected by Venus, the native becomes a king endowed with immense wealth. If under the same condition the Moon is aspected by Jupiter, the native becomes a supreme emperor ruling over the entire earth.
Four Rajayogas are stated by learned scholars: (1) Malefics placed in 3rd, 6th, and 11th houses from the sign occupied by Lagna lord or Moon lord; (2) Mars and Mercury together in the 2nd house from Lagna; (3) Sun and Venus in the 4th house from Lagna; (4) Mars, Saturn, and Jupiter placed in 10th, 11th, and 1st houses respectively.
If any one among the lords of 11th, 9th, and 2nd houses is in a Kendra from the Moon, and Jupiter is the lord of 11th, 9th, or 2nd house, the native attains undivided empire.

नीचस्थितो जन्मनि योग्रहः स्यात्त्द्राशिनाथोऽपि तदुच्चनाथः ।

If a planet is in its debilitation sign at birth, and the lord of that debilitation sign or the lord of its exaltation sign is in a Kendra from the Moon or Lagna, the debilitation is cancelled and a Neechabhanga Raja Yoga is formed making the native a righteous emperor or administrator.

yasya sa tu cakravartī samastabhūpālavandyāṃdhriḥ || 27||
If a planet is in its debilitation sign, and both the lord of that debilitation sign and the lord of its exaltation sign are in mutual Kendras, the native becomes an emperor whose feet are worshipped by all kings.
If a planet is in its debilitation sign and is aspected by the lord of that sign, the native becomes a famous king. If that debilitation planet is situated in a good house (other than 6, 8, 12), the native becomes a supreme king among rulers.
If a planet is in debilitation, and the lord of that debilitation sign or the lord of its exaltation sign is in a Kendra from Lagna or Moon, the native becomes an emperor endowed with full riches, righteous, famed, fortunate, and worshipped by other kings.
If a planet is debilitated, and the lords of its debilitation and exaltation signs, or even one of them, are in a Kendra, the native becomes an emperor honored by kings.
