kujarkṣe nīlakuṣṭhādirogī

If in the asterism of Mars (i.e., the constellation ruled by Mars), one suffers from diseases such as black leprosy and the like.

citra ambara mālya dharaḥ sulocana aṅgaś ca bhavati citrāyām | dānto vaṇik kṛpāluḥ priya vāg dharma āśritaḥ svātau

One born under Citrā wears bright garments and garlands, has beautiful eyes and limbs. One born under Svāti is self-controlled, a merchant, compassionate, of pleasant speech, and devoted to righteousness.

tvāṣṭre bhūṣaṇamaṇirāgalekhyagāndharvagandhayuktijñāḥ | gaṇitapaṭutantuvāyāḥ śālākyā rājadhānyāni

Those born under Tvāṣṭra (Citrā) are skilled in making ornaments, gems, dyeing, painting, music, and the preparation of perfumes; they are clever in mathematics, weavers, surgeons (oculists), and connected with royal capitals.

(The asterisms) Mṛgaśiras, Jyeṣṭhā, Citrā and Dhaniṣṭhā govern people who are in service. Āśleṣā, Viśākhā, Śravaṇa and Bharaṇī indicate (people of) the Caṇḍāla caste.

udyānasalilakāmukayaśaḥsukhaaudāryarūpasampannāḥ | vidvadamātyavaṇigjanaghaṭakṛccitrāṇḍajās triphalāḥ

Persons connected with the Citrā constellation are endowed with pleasure gardens, water, lovers, fame, happiness, generosity and beauty; the learned, ministers, merchants, potters, painters, and birds, as well as those who bear the three fruits (myrobalans).

pāpair upacayasaṃsthair dhruvamṛduharitiṣyavāyudeveṣu | vikuje dine anukūle devānāṃ sthāpanaṃ śastam

When malefics occupy the upacaya houses, on days governed by the fixed, soft, and sharp (constellations), and those of Tiṣya, Vāyu, and the gods, on a day free of Mars and favorable, the installation of the deities is commended.

One born under Citrā wears variegated garments and garlands and has beautiful eyes and limbs. One born under Svātī is self-controlled, a merchant, thirsty (greedy), sweet of speech, and devoted to dharma.

madhyastho madhuravacā vyavahāradhruto bahukriyāsu kuśalamatiḥ | citrāyāṃ rūpavarastvanekaraṅgāmbaradharaśca ||

One born under Citrā is impartial, sweet of speech, steady in dealings, of clever mind in many activities, of excellent form, and wears garments of many colours.

At the birth of women, Ārdrā, Āśleṣā, Śatabhiṣaj (Varuṇa's), Puṣya, Mūla, Citrā, Jyeṣṭhā and Kṛttikā are to be avoided; one should know they bring grief for brothers, sons and the like, death, wasting, and quarrel.

ṣoḍaśābdāsturaṅgādye maghādye cāṣṭavatsarāḥ

In the first (group) beginning with Aśvinī, sixteen years; and in the (group) beginning with Maghā, eight years.

ekābdaḥ śakratārāyāṃ catvārastvāṣdramūlayoḥ | sārpe vardhadvayaṃ caiva revatyāmekavatsaraḥ

One year in Śakra-tārā (Jyeṣṭhā); four in Tvāṣṭra (Citrā) and Mūla; in Sārpa (Āśleṣā) two-and-a-half, and in Revatī one year.

If born under Hasta, he is devoted to half-pleasures (passionate), wise, restrained, and wealthy. Under Citrā, he is of very secretive conduct, proud, and attached to other men's wives. Under Svāti, he does what is pleasing to the gods and brahmins, is an enjoyer of pleasures, wealthy, dull-witted, and proud. One born under Viśākhā is dominated by his wife, conquers his enemies, and is exceedingly prone to anger.

Those who know declare that a woman born under Jyeṣṭhā destroys the elder brother, the mother, the father, and the husband's younger brother, in that order. A woman born under Citrā, Ārdrā, Āśleṣā (the serpent's asterism), Svātī, Śatabhiṣaj, Mūlā, Kṛttikā (the fire asterism, Agni), or Puṣya (Tiṣya) is either barren, or a widow, or one whose children have died, or one abandoned by her beloved and destitute.

mṛtyuḥ syāddinamṛtyurugviṣaghaṭīkāle'tha tiṣye'mbubhe tātāmbāsutamātulānpadavaśāttvāṣṭre ca hanyāttathā | mūlarkṣe pitṛmātṛvaṃśavilayaṃ tasyāntyapāde śriyāṃ sārpe vyastamidaṃ phalaṃ na śubhasambandhaṃ vilagnaṃ yadi

Death may occur on the day of death; in the gaṇḍānta-ghaṭī period (the inauspicious junction time), and likewise in Tiṣya (Puṣya) and in the watery asterism (Āśleṣā), it may destroy the father, mother, son, and maternal uncle according to the position of the pādas; and so too in the asterism of Tvaṣṭṛ (Citrā). In the Mūla asterism there is the destruction of the lineage of both father and mother; in its last pāda, of wealth. In the serpent asterism (Āśleṣā) this result is reversed, provided the ascendant has no connection with benefics.

kṣyaimasamīrorageraudraduṣṭaṃ trayeṣu na prāṇiti jātarogaḥ chidrāsametaṣu sapāpavāre dhyaimeyavmlantakavāruṇeṣu ॥ 17 ॥

When the (lunar mansions) afflicted by Mars-air-serpent-Rudra (cruel asterisms) are spoiled, in the three (sets) the one with the arisen disease does not survive; (likewise) in those joined with the 'gap' asterisms during a malefic weekday, and in the Jyeṣṭhā, antaka and Vāruṇa stars.

uttamarūpaḥ subhago vivādaśīraḥ śucirbhavedakṣaḥ | vyāyāmī raṇaśūraḥ citārayormadhyage candre

When the Moon is in the middle of Citrā (i.e., in the Aries-portion ruled accordingly), one becomes of excellent appearance, fortunate, inclined to disputes, pure, skillful, fond of exercise, and brave in battle.

svīkāre mahiṣīgavāṃ guṇakarāṣṭau vāṇanāgendavo lābho hānir atho svalābhasukhakṛl lābho mahābhītikṛt | mūrddhāsyaṅghriṣu hṛtstaneṣu ca bhage tv aryamṇa ānityabhaṃ gṛhṇīyāc ca catuṣpadān vṛṣamukhān sañcintya cakrādikam || 19 ||

For the taking of buffaloes and cows the divisions are three, two, eight, five, eight and one (guṇa = 3, kara = 2, aṣṭau = 8, bāṇa = 5, nāga = 8, indu = 1); [their results are] gain, loss, then gain for oneself, a giver of ease, gain, and a cause of great fear. These fall respectively on the head (mūrdhan), the mouth (āsya) and the feet (aṅghri), on the chest (hṛd) and the udders (stana), and on the generative parts (bhaga), counting from the star of Aryaman (Uttarā Phalgunī) up to the asterism of the day. Having thus pondered the cakra and the rest, one should acquire four-footed beasts headed by the bull.

vahnyṛkṣād dinabhāntakaṃ hi gaṇane bāṇā mukhe pūjyatā kaṇṭhe sthur nava lābhadāḥ prabhumṛter madhye gajā daṇḍake | bāṇā rājyakarāḥ kramāt phalam idaṃ syād dīpikākhyaṃ smṛtaṃ cakraṃ nūtanadīpabhājanavinikṣepe tv avaśyaṃ śubham || 32 ||

In the reckoning from the star of Fire (vahni = Kṛttikā) up to the star of the day: five (bāṇa = 5) stand at the mouth [of the lamp] — honour; nine stand at the neck as givers of gain; eight (gaja = 8) in the middle bring about the death of the master; and five (bāṇa) on the stem confer sovereignty. Such is the fruit in order. This is remembered as the cakra called dīpikā, the lamp, and it is unfailingly auspicious for the installing of a new lamp-vessel.

Within the cakra one should write three asterisms beginning from the star of Vidhi (Rohiṇī, whose lord is Brahmā), and three likewise in the east and the remaining quarters. When it has been reckoned in this way, [the results are]: water yielded very quickly; that spot is waterless; middling; absence of water; water and more besides (abundance); nectar-sweet water; brackish water; well supplied with water; and middling. Such is the fruit obtained from the Moon's asterism, for a well (kūpa) or for a step-well (vāpī).
