उत्तरकालामृतं नाम कालज्ञानविशारदः। कृतं कलिदासेनेदं ग्रहचारार्थसिद्धये॥
uttarakālāmṛtaṃ nāma kālajñānaviśāradaḥ | kṛtaṃ kalidāsenedaṃ grahacārārthasiddhaye ||
This Uttara Kalamrita was composed by Kalidasa, adept in time-knowledge, for the fulfillment of the purpose of planetary movement.
त्रिषष्टिदशमेष्वर्को जयेच्चन्द्रः सुखप्रदः। सर्वग्रहैः समं ज्ञेयं चन्द्रस्थानविशेषतः॥
tri-ṣaṣṭi-daśameṣv arko jayec candraḥ sukhapradaḥ | sarvagrahaiḥ samaṃ jñeyaṃ candrasthānaviśeṣataḥ ||
The Sun conquers in transits through houses 3, 6, 10, 11 counted from the natal Moon, and the Moon gives comfort in 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11.
भौमशनिविशेषेण षष्ट्यष्टमैकादशे स्थितौ। उपचये बलवन्तौ तौ वृद्धिं निर्वहतः सदा॥
bhaumaśaniviśeṣeṇa ṣaṣṭy-aṣṭamaikādaśe sthitau | upacaye balavantau tau vṛddhiṃ nirvahataḥ sadā ||
Especially Mars and Saturn placed in houses three, six and eleven during transit remain strong in the upachayas and ever deliver growth.
जीवः पञ्चनवसप्तद्व्येकादशेषु मङ्गलम्। ददति भाग्यधनप्रज्ञां गोचरेऽपि नृणां सदा॥
jīvaḥ pañca-nava-sapta-dvyekādaśeṣu maṅgalam | dadati bhāgyadhanaprajñāṃ gocare'pi nṛṇāṃ sadā ||
Jupiter grants fortune, wealth and wisdom in his transits through houses 2, 5, 7, 9 and 11 from the natal Moon.
वेधस्थानगतैः पापैः शुभगोचरसंस्थितिः। आवृता फलहीना स्याद् वेधेनैव विपर्यये॥
vedhasthānagataiḥ pāpaiḥ śubhagocarasaṃsthitih | āvṛtā phalahīnā syād vedhenaiva viparyaye ||
When malefics occupy the vedha points corresponding to a planet's favorable house, that good transit becomes veiled and fruitless.
द्वादशे तनुभावे च धनस्थेऽपि शनिः स्थितः। सप्तार्धवर्षत्रयं तत्र क्लेशं ददाति निश्चितम्॥
dvādaśe tanubhāve ca dhanasthe'pi śaniḥ sthitaḥ | saptārdhavarṣatrayaṃ tatra kleśaṃ dadāti niścitam ||
Saturn transiting the twelfth, first and second signs from the natal Moon certainly afflicts for seven and a half years — the Sade-sati span.
जन्मफलं गोचरफलं च संमिल्य विचारयेत्। तदा फलं निश्चितं स्यात् तत्र दोषो न विद्यते॥
janmaphalaṃ gocaraphalaṃ ca saṃmilya vicārayet | tadā phalaṃ niścitaṃ syāt tatra doṣo na vidyate ||
Weighing the birth-promise together with the transit-result, the outcome becomes certain and free of error.
