Verse 1 — Second House and Moon for Sustenance
भोजनं तु द्वितीयस्थं लग्नं चान्नप्रदायकम् । सोमशुक्रौ यदा बलात् भुक्तिः शुभा भवेद्ध्रुवम् ॥
bhojanaṃ tu dvitīya-sthaṃ lagnaṃ cāAnna-pradāyakam | soma-śukrau yadā balāt bhuktiḥ śubhā bhaved dhruvam ||
Food is indicated by the second house, and the ascendant bestows nourishment; when the Moon and Venus are strong, the meal is certainly auspicious.
