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.

In this conjunction with the Moon, the meritorious one who is joined — that proper-conducted one is well established; the one of Visakha at thirty in Mesha-portion, the auspicious accomplished one is brought to fullness without lack.

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.

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).
