1-6. The matters to be considered from Surya and other Grahas are, as follows. Surya - the soul (Atma), nature, physical strength, joys and sorrows and father. Candr - mind, wisdom, joy and mother. Mangal - co-borns, strength, qualities and land. Budh - business dealings, livelihood and friends. Guru - nourishment of the body, learning, son (children), wealth and property. Sukr - marriage, enjoyments, conveyance, prostitution and sexual intercourse with women. Sani - longevity, source of maintenance, grief, danger, losses and death. The following procedure should be adopted to ascertain the effects of a house. Multiply the number of Rekhas with the Yog Pinda (Rasi Pinda plus Grah Pinda), connected with the AshtakaVarg of that Grah and divide the product by 27. The remainder will denote the number of the Nakshatr. During the transit of Sani in that Nakshatr the Bhava concerned will be harmed.

7-9. The 9^th house from Surya at the time of birth deals with father. The Rekhas of that Rasi, as marked in Surya’s AshtakaVarg, should be multiplied by the Yog Pinda and the product be divided by 27. The remainder will denote the number of Nakshatr. The father will be in distress, or he will otherwise suffer, when Sani in transit passes through the Nakshatr. Even, when Sani passes in transit the Trikon Nakshatras, father, or relatives, like father, may die, or suffer.

Notes. By dividing the 27 Nakshatras in three equal parts, the 1^st, 10^th and 19^th fall in Trikon from each other. Surya is PitraKarak (significator of father). Therefore all about father is ascertained from the Surya’s AshtakaVarg.
