Note the dots in total in the Ashtak Varg of Guru. The dots in the Rasis occupied by malefics should not be considered. The balance left out equals the number of issues, while the dots in the Vyaya, Randhr and Putr Bhava, if occupied by malefics, will indicate the number of children to die.

Putr Bhava from Lagn and the 5^th Bhava from Guru should have more than 3 dots in the Ashtak Varg of Guru. Otherwise, one will be issueless. However, if these Bhavas are receiving Drishtis from, or are occupied by their lords, this rule does not apply and the native will have children.

With these guidelines the question of issues can be answered. Should the Kundali be indicative of children being obtained, it will happen accordingly. The rules for destruction of family, i.e. issuelessness, are separately detailed.

Note the benefic dots (in Sarvastha Varg) of Sukr contributed by various Grahas. Then, the Kon reduction should be done (as per rule explained already) and after that Ekadhipathya reduction (for the Grahas owing two Rasis each except for Surya and Candr) should be made. Time for obtaining lands, wife and wealth should be predicted according to the Rasis having benefic dots. Wife in particular should be ascertained from Yuvati Bhava with reference to the position of Sukr (at birth).
