Verse 1 — Why conception knowledge is necessary
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] adhiṣṭhānaṃ vinā jñānād rāśi-bheda-phalaṃ na viduḥ | sarva-jantūpajāti-hetuḥ saṃyogaḥ saṃpracakṣyate ||
adhiṣṭhānaṃ vinā jñānād rāśi-bheda-phalaṃ na viduḥ | sarva-jantūpajāti-hetuḥ saṃyogaḥ saṃpracakṣyate ||
Without the knowledge of conception time one cannot understand the effects of the various divisions, like Rāsi. That is why I explain below about conception, which is the cause of births of all animals.
Verse 2 — Menstruation cause — Moon in Anupachaya aspected by Mars
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] anupachaye candra-bhāve bhauma-dṛṣṭau prapadyate | rajo-dhātu-kṣayaḥ śaśi-toya-jala-prāyaḥ ||
anupachaye candra-bhāve bhauma-dṛṣṭau prapadyate | rajo-dhātu-kṣayaḥ śaśi-toya-jala-prāyaḥ ||
As a result of Moon's transit in Anupachaya Rāśis and in aspect of Mars, a female obtains her menses. The Moon is water and Mars is fire. Water produces blood and fire produces bile. When blood is enraged by bile, the women gets her menstruation.
Verse 3 — Menstruation makes conception possible; Moon in Upachaya nullifies
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] upachaya-gate śaśini niṣekārthaṃ na yogyaḥ | rajo-dhātur mahā-phalaḥ saṃyojanārtham ||
upachaya-gate śaśini niṣekārthaṃ na yogyaḥ | rajo-dhātur mahā-phalaḥ saṃyojanārtham ||
The menstruation so caused makes the female capable of conception. If the Moon is in Upachaya, it makes the menses defunct for conception.
Verse 4 — Conception via Jupiter/Venus aspect; Mars-aspected = with another man
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] upachaya-gate 'pi candre yadi dṛṣṭiḥ guror mitrasya vā śukrasya vā | sneha-yuktaḥ patyā saha saṃyogaḥ || bhauma-dṛṣṭau strī para-puruṣeṇa saṃyujyate |
upachaya-gate 'pi candre yadi dṛṣṭiḥ guror mitrasya vā śukrasya vā | sneha-yuktaḥ patyā saha saṃyogaḥ || bhauma-dṛṣṭau strī para-puruṣeṇa saṃyujyate |
However, if the Moon in Upachaya is aspected by Jupiter, or her friends, or especially Venus, the woman affectionately cohabits with the male. If the Moon is aspected by Mars, the female unites with a person other than husband.
Verse 5 — Sun-aspected = king; Saturn-aspected = servant
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] sūrya-dṛṣṭau nṛpaḥ saṃyogaḥ | śanaiścara-dṛṣṭau dāsa-saṃyogaḥ | pāpaika-dṛṣṭau pāpa-saṃyogaḥ |
sūrya-dṛṣṭau nṛpaḥ saṃyogaḥ | śanaiścara-dṛṣṭau dāsa-saṃyogaḥ | pāpaika-dṛṣṭau pāpa-saṃyogaḥ |
The Sun, if aspecting the Moon, indicates a king, while Saturn aspecting denotes a servant. Similar inferences should be made, if the Moon is aspected by malefics only, without aspect of benefics.
Verse 6 — Disposition of couple via 7th from Lagna
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] lagna-saptama-bhāva-yojanayā kāma-bhāvaḥ | pāpa-dṛṣṭau kopa-saṃyogaḥ | śubha-dṛṣṭau sukha-saṃyogaḥ | ubhaya-dṛṣṭau miśra-saṃyogaḥ |
lagna-saptama-bhāva-yojanayā kāma-bhāvaḥ | pāpa-dṛṣṭau kopa-saṃyogaḥ | śubha-dṛṣṭau sukha-saṃyogaḥ | ubhaya-dṛṣṭau miśra-saṃyogaḥ |
The 7th House from Lagna at the time of copulation indicates the disposition of the couple. If there is a malefic's aspect to the Lagna at the time of copulation, the couple unites angrily and with quarrel. Should it be benefic aspect, then the sexual enjoyment will be (pleasing), as enumerated by Vatsyayana Maharshi. If there be both malefic and benefic aspects on the 7th, the sexual act is mixed in nature.
Verse 7 — Past-life karma fruits in conception
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] karma-vipāka-phala-bhāvena garbha-saṃsthāpanaṃ bhavati | pūrva-kṛtānubandhāt sukha-duḥkha-saṃyojanaṃ ca ||
karma-vipāka-phala-bhāvena garbha-saṃsthāpanaṃ bhavati | pūrva-kṛtānubandhāt sukha-duḥkha-saṃyojanaṃ ca ||
According to ones past deeds, to ripen its fruits the semen enters the womb and conception ensues.
Verse 8 — Occurrence of pregnancy — male horoscope conditions
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] janma-lagna-prati sūryaḥ śukraḥ ca upachaya-rāśau sva-aṃśe sthitaḥ | garbha-saṃsthāpana-arthaṃ phala-dātā ||
janma-lagna-prati sūryaḥ śukraḥ ca upachaya-rāśau sva-aṃśe sthitaḥ | garbha-saṃsthāpana-arthaṃ phala-dātā ||
If the transit Sun and Venus be in Upachaya Rāśis with strength with reference to the male partner's nativity and occupy even Navāṃśas, there is scope of pregnancy to be caused by the particular intercourse.
Verse 9 — Pregnancy — Moon/Mars transit in female horoscope
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] strī-janma-prati upachaya-gataḥ śaśī bhaumaḥ ca sva-aṃśe sthitaḥ | garbha-saṃsthāpana-arthaṃ phala-dātā | athavā sūryaḥ śukraḥ bhaumaḥ śaśī ca upachaya-gataḥ sva-aṃśe | gurur athavā lagna-pañcama-navama-bhāve sthitaḥ ||
strī-janma-prati upachaya-gataḥ śaśī bhaumaḥ ca sva-aṃśe sthitaḥ | garbha-saṃsthāpana-arthaṃ phala-dātā | athavā sūryaḥ śukraḥ bhaumaḥ śaśī ca upachaya-gataḥ sva-aṃśe | gurur athavā lagna-pañcama-navama-bhāve sthitaḥ ||
Similar effects follow, if strong Moon and strong Mars be in Upachaya Rāśis in transit with reference to the female's horoscope and be in even Navāṃśas. Alternatively Venus, Sun, Mars and Moon should be in Upachaya Houses in own Amsas, or Jupiter be in Lagna, 5th, or 9th with strength to cause pregnancy.
Verse 10 — Sex of the child — first combination
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] lagna-candra-guru-sūryāḥ pum-rāśi pum-navāṃśa-sthitāḥ balinaḥ | puruṣa-garbhaḥ | strī-rāśi strī-navāṃśa-sthitāḥ striyaḥ ||
lagna-candra-guru-sūryāḥ pum-rāśi pum-navāṃśa-sthitāḥ balinaḥ | puruṣa-garbhaḥ | strī-rāśi strī-navāṃśa-sthitāḥ striyaḥ ||
Should Lagna, Moon, Jupiter and the Sun be strong and be in male Rāśis and male Navāṃśas, birth of a male child be predicted. If they are in even Rāśis and even Amsas, predict female child.
Verse 11 — Sex of the child — second combination
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] guru-sūryaḥ pum-rāśau sthitaḥ puruṣaḥ | śukra-candra-bhaumāḥ strī-rāśau sthitaḥ striyaḥ ||
guru-sūryaḥ pum-rāśau sthitaḥ puruṣaḥ | śukra-candra-bhaumāḥ strī-rāśau sthitaḥ striyaḥ ||
If strong Jupiter and Sun be in male Rāśis, male child will be born. Female child should be expected, if Venus, Moon and Mars are in even Rāśis.
Verse 12 — Twin births — male and female
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] mithuna-dhanuṣi sūrya-guru-budha-dṛṣṭau dvi-putraḥ | mīna-kanyā-budha-dṛṣṭau strī-yugmaṃ ||
mithuna-dhanuṣi sūrya-guru-budha-dṛṣṭau dvi-putraḥ | mīna-kanyā-budha-dṛṣṭau strī-yugmaṃ ||
If the Sun and Jupiter be in Gemini, or Sagittarius in aspect to Mercury, birth of two male children be predicted. Two female children will be born, if Venus, Mars and the Moon be in Pisces, or Virgo in aspect (of) Mercury.
Verse 13 — Male birth from Saturn in odd non-Lagna
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] śanaiścaraḥ lagna-bhāvaṃ vinā viṣama-bhāve sthitaḥ puruṣaḥ | adhiṣṭhāna-kāla-bala-yuktānāṃ grahāṇāṃ yogaṃ jñātvā puruṣa-strī-garbhaṃ vadet ||
śanaiścaraḥ lagna-bhāvaṃ vinā viṣama-bhāve sthitaḥ puruṣaḥ | adhiṣṭhāna-kāla-bala-yuktānāṃ grahāṇāṃ yogaṃ jñātvā puruṣa-strī-garbhaṃ vadet ||
If Saturn is in odd House other than Lagna, a male child will be born. Such Yogas and strengths at the time of Adhana should be properly assessed to predict birth of male, or female child.
Verse 14 — Hermaphrodite births — multiple combinations
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] viṣama-rāśau sūrya-candrau paraspara-dṛṣṭau napuṃsakaḥ | saumya-śanau viṣama-dṛṣṭau ca napuṃsakaḥ | samā-sthaḥ sūrya-bhauma-dṛṣṭau ca napuṃsakaḥ | karka-sthāḥ śaśī lagna-bhāve viṣama-rāśau ca napuṃsakaḥ | saumya-bhaumayoḥ viṣama-dṛṣṭau ca || lagna-candra-saumyāḥ viṣama-rāśau viṣama-navāṃśa-sthitāḥ śukra-śanaiścara-dṛṣṭau || napuṃsakaḥ ||
viṣama-rāśau sūrya-candrau paraspara-dṛṣṭau napuṃsakaḥ | saumya-śanau viṣama-dṛṣṭau ca napuṃsakaḥ | samā-sthaḥ sūrya-bhauma-dṛṣṭau ca napuṃsakaḥ | karka-sthāḥ śaśī lagna-bhāve viṣama-rāśau ca napuṃsakaḥ | saumya-bhaumayoḥ viṣama-dṛṣṭau ca || lagna-candra-saumyāḥ viṣama-rāśau viṣama-navāṃśa-sthitāḥ śukra-śanaiścara-dṛṣṭau || napuṃsakaḥ ||
Birth of a hermaphrodite should be declared, if the Sun and the Moon be in odd Rāśis and be in mutual aspect, or, if Mercury and Saturn be in mutual aspect from odd Rāśis, or, if Mars aspects the Sun, who is in an even Rāsi, or, if the Moon is in Lagna in odd Rāsi. These are the views of sages. If Mars aspects Mercury in odd Rāsi and simultaneously the Moon in even Rāsi, same effect follows. Alternatively if Lagna, Moon and Mercury be in odd Rāsi and odd Navāṃśa and aspected by Venus and Saturn, eunuch birth is indicated.
Verse 15 — Twins — one male, one female
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] lagna-candrau samā-rāśau sthitaḥ khecara-dṛṣṭau yadi tarhi garbhe dvi-mānaḥ | ekaḥ pumān ekaḥ strī ca ||
lagna-candrau samā-rāśau sthitaḥ khecara-dṛṣṭau yadi tarhi garbhe dvi-mānaḥ | ekaḥ pumān ekaḥ strī ca ||
Should Lagna and Moon be in even Rāśis and be aspected by a strong planet, then there are twins in the womb (one male child and one female child). Similar results follow, if the Moon and Venus are in even Rāśis, or Common Signs and be strong.
Verse 16 — Triplets — multiple specific Mercury conditions
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] budhaḥ mithuna-navāṃśa-sthitaḥ dvi-sva-bhāva-navāṃśa-sthitaṃ grahaṃ dṛṣṭiḥ kṛtvā tri-putraḥ | mithuna-navāṃśa-sthitaḥ budhaḥ dvi-sva-bhāva-rāśiṃ dṛṣṭiḥ kṛtvā tri-putraḥ | kanyā-navāṃśa-sthitaḥ budhaḥ dvi-sva-bhāva-navāṃśa-sthitaṃ grahaṃ dṛṣṭiḥ kṛtvā | kanyā-navāṃśa-sthitaḥ budhaḥ dvi-sva-bhāva-rāśiṃ dṛṣṭiḥ kṛtvā | mithuna-aṃśe budhaḥ mithuna-aṃśe dhanuṣ-aṃśe vā grahaṃ dṛṣṭiḥ kṛtvā | saptama-sthitaḥ budhaḥ kanyā-meena-navāṃśa-sthitaṃ grahaṃ lagna-navaṃśaṃ vā dṛṣṭiḥ kṛtvā | eṣu (a)-(b) ekā strī dvi pumānsaḥ | (c)-(d) ekā pumān dvi strī | (e)-(f) trai pumānsaḥ | (g) trai striyaḥ ||

The following Yogas prevailing at the time of Adhana lead to births of triplets. Mercury remaining in Gemini Navāṃśa aspecting a planet, who also falls in Common Navāṃśa (a), Mercury remaining in Gemini Navāṃśa aspecting a Sign, which ascends (b), Mercury in Virgo Navāṃśa aspecting a planet falling in Common Navāṃśa (c), Mercury in Virgo Navāṃśa aspecting a Common Sign, which ascends (d), Mercury in Gemini Amsa aspecting a planet in Gemini Amsa, or Sagittarius Amsa (e), Mercury in Gemini Navāṃśa aspecting the Lagna, which falls in Gemini Navāṃśa, or Sagittarius Navāṃśa (f), Mercury in 7th aspecting a planet in Kanya, or Meena Navāṃśa, or aspecting such Lagna Navāṃśa (g). Combinations (a) and (b) lead to birth of triplets - one female and two males. Combinations (c) and (d) cause birth of triplets consisting of two females and one male. Combinations at (e) and (f) cause three male children, while the ones at (g) indicate three female children.
Verse 17 — Mother / Father / aunts / uncles (karakatwa of birth)
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] divase jāte śukraḥ mātā sūryaḥ pitā | niśā-jāte candraḥ mātā śanais pitā | śaśī mātṛ-svasā divā śanaiḥ pitṛvyasya ca | rātri-jāte śukraḥ sūryaḥ ca |

If births take place in day-time, Venus indicates mother, while the Sun indicates father. In the case of nights the Moon and Saturn, respectively, play these roles. Similarly the Moon denotes mother's sister and Saturn paternal uncle for day-time births, while Venus and the Sun take over these portfolios, respectively, in the case of night births.
Verse 18 — Effects of parent/uncle karaka planets in odd/even bhavas
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] pituḥ pitṛvyasya ca viṣama-bhāva-sthitaḥ sukhī bhavati | mātuḥ mātṛ-svasāḥ samā-bhāva-sthitāḥ sukhinyau bhavataḥ ||
pituḥ pitṛvyasya ca viṣama-bhāva-sthitaḥ sukhī bhavati | mātuḥ mātṛ-svasāḥ samā-bhāva-sthitāḥ sukhinyau bhavataḥ ||
If the planets denoting father and paternal uncle are in odd Bhavas, their well-being is assured. If the planets denoting mother and maternal aunt are in even Bhavas, their well-being is to be predicted.
Verse 19 — Process of growth of embryo and monthly lords
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] garbha-vr̥ddhiḥ kramāt | prathame māsi raktam dvitīyaṃ māṃsaṃ tr̥tīyaṃ aṅgāni caturthaṃ asthi pañcamaṃ tvac ṣaṣṭhaṃ lomaḥ saptamaṃ ceṣṭāṣṭamaṃ kṣud-dhā truṣṇayaḥ navamaṃ garbha-cālanaṃ daśamaṃ pakva-phalākāraḥ || daśa māsānāṃ patayaḥ śukra-bhauma-guru-sūrya-candra-śanaiḥ saumya-niṣeka-lagna-pa-candra-sūryāḥ kramāt |

The embryo in the womb improves, as under. First month coagulated blood, second mass of flesh, third limbs, fourth bones, fifth skin, sixth hair, seventh movement, eighth feeling of hunger and thirst, ninth excitement and tenth ripens, like a fruit and ready for coming out of the womb. These ten months are ruled, respectively, by Venus, Mars, Jupiter, the Sun, the Moon, Saturn, Mercury, Lord of Nisheka Lagna, the Moon and the Sun. The dispositions of these Lords indicate good, or bad of the respective processes.
Verse 20 — Miscarriage conditions
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] garbha-pātaka-yogaḥ yadi grahaḥ pāpa-phalaṃ dṛṣṭiḥ yadi | tatra māsi garbha-pātaḥ syāt | lagnaṃ vā garbha-pātakaṃ kāraṇaṃ bhavati | śanair bhaumau yadi lagna-sthaḥ | candraḥ bhauma-śanaiḥ-sthita-bhāvaḥ garbha-pātaṃ vadet ||

Should a planet be affected by celestial portents, or defeat by malefic at the time of intercourse, miscarriage may take place in the month ruled by the planet concerned. The Ascendant ruling at the time of intercourse can also become cause of miscarriage. If Saturn and Mars be in the said Ascendant, or the Moon be in a House of Mars, or Saturn, the results mentioned will come to pass.
Verse 21 — Comfortable carrying (safe pregnancy) conditions
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] ādāna-lagne yadi candraḥ sthitaḥ athavā pañcame navame saptame dvitīye daśame caturthe ca śubhaḥ sthitaḥ | tr̥tīyaikādaśe ca pāpaḥ sūrya-dṛṣṭi-yuktaḥ | tadā garbhiṇī sukhinyau bhavati ||

Should the Adhana Ascendant be occupied by Moon, or should there be benefics in the 5th, 9th, 7th, 2nd, 10th, 4th and malefics relegated to 3rd and 11th aspected by the Sun, the carrying female is safe.
Verse 22 — Adversities to the pregnant woman — multiple death-of-mother conditions
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] ādāna-kāle sūrya-candrau dvābhyāṃ pāpair avṛtau lagnaṃ ca śubha-dṛṣṭi-rahitaḥ | tadā strī mriyate | saptame ca lagne pāpair avṛtau athavā lagne pāpair avṛtau śubha-dṛṣṭi-rahitaḥ athavā lagna-sthitaḥ śanais tanu-candrau bhauma-dṛṣṭau | tathā candrau hīnaḥ sūryaḥ dvādaśe bhaumaḥ caturthe śukraḥ pāpa-madhye | mātā ca garbha-sthaḥ ubhau mriyete || caturthe lagna-candrayoḥ pāpa-sthitaḥ saptame bhaumaḥ athavā lagna-sthitaḥ bhaumaḥ | caturthe bhaumaḥ dvādaśe sūryaḥ kṣīṇa-candrau pāpa-dṛṣṭau || lagna-sthitaḥ sūryaḥ tanu-candrau hīnaḥ athavā lagna-sthitaḥ bhaumaḥ dvādaśa-dvitīye pāpair avṛtau śubha-dṛṣṭi-rahitaḥ | tadā mātā ca garbha-sthaḥ ubhau mriyete || saptame sūryaḥ lagna-sthitaḥ bhaumaḥ mātā garbha-yuktaḥ mriyete ||

If at the time of Adhana the Sun and the Moon are hemmed between two malefics, while the Ascendant has no benefic aspect, the female concerned dies. The same effect prevails, if the said Ascendant and the 7th are occupied by malefics and be without benefic aspect, or, if the said Ascendant is occupied by Saturn and weak Moon aspected by Mars. Again similar effects shall come to pass, if weak Moon and the Sun are in 12th, Mars in 4th, while Venus is between two malefics. Both the child in the womb and its mother leave this world, if malefics occupy the 4th from the said Ascendant, or from the Moon, while Mars is in the 7th, or Lagna. The same result follows, if Mars is in 4th, Sun in 12th and the Moon be decreasing and be with malefic aspect. If the Sun is in Lagna, while the Moon is weak, or, if Mars is in Lagna, while malefics are in 12th and 2nd without benefics aspect, death occurs of the mother along with and. The Sun in the 7th at Adhana, while Mars is in Lagna, takes away the child along with its mother through instruments.
Verse 23 — Progress of pregnancy
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] lagna-dṛṣṭiḥ saumya-guru-śukra-sūryebhyaḥ | tadā garbha-vr̥ddhiḥ śubhaḥ | māsānāṃ patibhir lagna-patau ca yathā-yogaṃ garbhaḥ | tr̥tīya-māsi garbhiṇī rasa-vividhān vāñchati | māsa-patīnāṃ lagna-pateḥ ca yathāsthūla-yoga-phalaṃ ||

Should there be aspects from Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, or the Sun to the Lagna, the process of pregnancy goes on well. The embryo develops according to the state of the Lords of various months (in transit). In the third month the pregnant woman develops tastes to eat various things according to the disposition of the various monthly Lords and Lagna Lord and the Yogas caused to them.
Verse 24 — Time of delivery — based on Sun's sign at conception
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] niṣeka-kāle sūryaḥ cara-sthira-dvi-sva-bhāva-rāśau sthitaḥ | tathā lagnaṃ vā cara-sthirau dvi-sva-bhāvau | cara-rāśau daśame māsi prasavaḥ | sthirau ekādaśe | dvi-sva-bhāve dvādaśe ||

If at the time of Nisheka (i.e. Adhana) the Sun is in a Movable Sign, delivery takes place in the 10th month, if he is in a Fixed Sign, delivery in 11th month is indicated and in a Dual Sign it is in 12th month. If a Movable Rāsi ascends at Adhana, delivery takes place in 10th month, a Fixed 11th and Dual 12th.
Verse 25 — Estimating natal Moon / Ascendant from adhāna
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] niṣeka-lagna-vargasya vivekāt prasavaṃ jñātum | janma-candraḥ adhāna-candrād daśama-bhāva-sthaḥ | eṣāṃ bahavaḥ ācāryāḥ vadanti | bādarāyaṇa-mate janma-lagnaṃ adhāna-lagnāt saptama-bhāva-stham | janma-candraḥ adhāna-candrāt saptama-bhāva-sthaḥ | ity asya nānā mateḥ santi | sarva-saṃvādakaṃ mataṃ vadāmi ||
niṣeka-lagna-vargasya vivekāt prasavaṃ jñātum | janma-candraḥ adhāna-candrād daśama-bhāva-sthaḥ | eṣāṃ bahavaḥ ācāryāḥ vadanti | bādarāyaṇa-mate janma-lagnaṃ adhāna-lagnāt saptama-bhāva-stham | janma-candraḥ adhāna-candrāt saptama-bhāva-sthaḥ | ity asya nānā mateḥ santi | sarva-saṃvādakaṃ mataṃ vadāmi ||
The matter of delivery can be guessed through the Vargas of Nisheka Lagna. The natal Moon can be in the 10th from Adhana Moon. This view is held by many Acharyas. According to Badarayana the natal Ascendant will be in the 7th from Adhana Lagna and natal Moon will be in the 7th from Adhana Moon. Since there are several views on this, I explain below a view, which is acceptable to all.
Verse 26 — Unifying view — Dvādaśāṃśa of Moon at adhāna
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] niṣeka-kāla-candra-dvādaśāṃśa-labdha-rāśi-jñānena janma-candraḥ | yāvatā rāśibhiḥ adhāna-candrāt viyogo bhavati tadā māsi prasavaḥ bhavati |
niṣeka-kāla-candra-dvādaśāṃśa-labdha-rāśi-jñānena janma-candraḥ | yāvatā rāśibhiḥ adhāna-candrāt viyogo bhavati tadā māsi prasavaḥ bhavati |
Note the Dvādaśāṃśa of the Moon at the time of Adhana. When Moon is so many Signs away from her Adhana position (in a month, when delivery is normally possible), delivery will take place.
Verse 27 — Belated progeny — Saturn Navāṃśa adhāna Lagna, etc.

Should a Navāṃśa of Saturn rule the Nisheka Lagna and Saturn be in the 7th, the delivery takes place after three years. If Cancer be the Navāṃśa Lagna with the Moon in the 7th (from Rāsi Lagna), delivery occurs after twelve years.
Verse 28 — Eye defect, dumbness, dull-witted, teethed-at-birth yogas

If at the time of Adhana (or at birth) the Sun and Moon are in Leo identical with Lagna, the child born will be blind. There should be aspect of Mars and Saturn on Leo. A bubble on the eye should be predicted, if Mars and Mercury aspect the said Sun and Moon in Leo Lagna. I shall further explain Yogas affecting the eyes. Should the 12th be occupied by waning Moon, left eye is destroyed and, if by the Sun, it is the right eye. If, however, benefics aspect (the said 12th and the Sun/Moon), then by (suitable) efforts the eye can be repaired. If malefics are in Rāsi Sandhi and the Moon is in Taurus aspected by Mars, Saturn and the Sun, the native born will be dumb. If, however, there is benefics aspect, the person speaks later on. If malefic planets are in Rāsi Sandhis, while there is no benefic aspect on the Moon, the native born is dull-witted. Should Saturn and Mars be in a Navāṃśa of Mercury, the birth is with teeth.
Verse 29 — Peculiar birth, short stature, lame, limbless

Should Mercury be in 5th, or 9th from the Ascendant, while all other planets are devoid of strength, the child has 2 faces, 4 hands and 4 legs. If the last portion of Capricorn rises with aspect from Saturn and the Luminaries, the native is short-statured. The same effect prevails, if the Moon is in Cancer identical with Ascendant and aspected by Mars and Saturn. If Pisces rises at birth with aspect from Mars, Saturn and the Moon, the child born is lame. If there is a benefics aspect to the said combination, then relief can be expected after making efforts. Should Mars be in the Ascendant and fall in the ascendant decanate, or a trinal decanate, receiving the aspect of malefics, while benefics are devoid of strength, the child in the womb develops no head, no legs and no hands, respectively.
Verse 30 — Adhāna rules apply to natal chart and vice versa
[Sanskrit source not available — IAST only] yad adhyāye 'smin kila uktaṃ tad-yojanīyaṃ janma-lagne yadi yogyaṃ syāt | anyathā 'dhāne 'pi jñeyaṃ ||
yad adhyāye 'smin kila uktaṃ tad-yojanīyaṃ janma-lagne yadi yogtaṃ syāt | anyathā 'dhāne 'pi jñeyaṃ ||
Whatever is stated in this Ch., should be suitably applied to natal Ascendant, if applicable. And the rules stated elsewhere in regard to nativity may be used with reference to Adhana also, if need be.
