भ्रातृदोषो यदा कुजः स्वस्थाने न विनिर्गतः । भ्रातॄणां विरोधं विद्यात् शान्तिं मन्त्रार्चनेन च ॥
bhrātṛdoṣo yadā kujaḥ svasthāne na vinirgataḥ | bhrātṝṇāṁ virodhaṁ vidyāt śāntiṁ mantrārcanena ca ||
Bhratri Dosha occurs when Mars is not well-placed in its own sign; enmity among brothers results, and peace is gained through mantra worship.
कुजबुधाभ्यां पीडिते तृतीयभावे यदा भवेत् । भ्रातृदोषो भवेत्तत्र भ्रातृश्रद्धा विशेषतः ॥
kujabudhābhyāṁ pīḍite tṛtīyabhāve yadā bhavet | bhrātṛdoṣo bhavettatra bhrātṛśraddhā viśeṣataḥ ||
When the third house is afflicted by Mars and Mercury, Bhratri Dosha arises therein; faith and devotion toward one's siblings is then especially required.
भ्रातृसेवा समं नान्यच्छान्तिमेति कदाचन । दानं मङ्गलपूजा च भ्रातृदोषविनाशनम् ॥
bhrātṛsevā samaṁ nānyac chāntim eti kadācana | dānaṁ maṅgalapūjā ca bhrātṛdoṣavināśanam ||
Nothing else ever bestows peace equal to the service of one's siblings; charity and the worship of Mars together destroy the Bhratri Dosha.
