Verse 1 — Verse 1

राजयोग त्र्याद्यैह् खेटैः स्वोच्चगैः केन्द्रसंस्तहिः स्वर्क्षस्थैर्वा भूपतिः स्यात्प्रसिद्धिः । पञ्चाद्यैस्तैरन्यवंशप्रसूतोऽप्युर्वीनाथो वारणाश्वन्घयुक्तः ॥ १॥

rājayoga tryādyaih kheṭaiḥ svoccagaiḥ kendrasaṃstahiḥ svarkṣasthairvā bhūpatiḥ syātprasiddhiḥ | pañcādyaistairanyavaṃśaprasūto'pyurvīnātho vāraṇāśvanghayuktaḥ || 1||

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.

Verse 2 — Verse 2

भूपः स्युर्नृपवंशजास्तु यदि दुर्योगे न जातास्तथा ह्यन्तार्धिर्नहि चेत्कराद्दिनकराज्जानाः स्फुरन्त्येव ते । त्र्याद्यैः केन्द्रगतैः स्वभोच्चसहितैर्भूपोद्भवाः पार्थिवाः मर्त्यस्त्वन्यकुलोद्भवाः क्षितिपतेस्तुल्याः कदाचिन्नृपाः ॥ २॥

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 नीचस्थोऽपि करोति भूपसदृशं द्वौ व त्रयो वा ग्रहाः । 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॥
