24-27. Consideration of brothers (co-borns), valour and patience is done from Mangal’s AshtakaVarg. If the number of Rekha is larger in any Rasi after Trikon Shodhana, there will be gains of land, happiness from wife and great happiness to brother, when Mangal passes through that Rasi in transit. If Mangal be weak, the brothers will be short lived. There will be distress to brothers, when Mangal transits a Rasi without Rekhas. Here also the Yog Pinda of Mangal should be multiplied by the number of Rekhas in the AshtakaVarg and the product be divided separately by 27 and 12. The remainders will denote the Nakshatr and Rasi. The brother will suffer, whenever Sani transits that Nakshatr, or Rasi (or the Trikon Nakshatras, or Rasis).

28-29. Consideration in regard to family, maternal uncle and friends should be done from the 4^th Bhava from Budh. The family etc. will enjoy happiness during the transit of Budh’s AshtakaVarg. After performing Trikon and Ekadhipatya Shodhana in Budh’s AshtakaVarg, the happiness, or distress of the family should be predicted from the transit of Sani through the resultant Nakshatr and Rasi (and those in Trikon to them).
