Should sexual union take place, when Surya, Candr, Sukr and Guru are in own Rasi, or Navamshas, it leads to the birth of a son. Similar result occurs, if these Grahas bare in Lagn (at the time of intercourse) and receive a Drishti from, or are yuti with Mangal.

Notes: Whatever is being stated in this Ch. is with reference to Nisheka Lagn unless otherwise mentioned to the contrary.

Should Guru be in Lagn, Putr, or Dharm Bhava, or in his own Rasi, or Navamsh and the week day auspicious, then the conception obtained thus becomes exemplary.

The under mentioned Yogas prevailing at the time of intercourse lead to conception of a male child: a) Yuti of Lagns lord and Putrs lord; their mutual aspect, or exchange between them; b) Strong Sani in odd Bhavas other than Lagn; c) Budh in Putr Bhava without being in yuti with of, or in Drishti to others; d) All the male Grahas in Ari Bhava and, or Labh Bhava, while Putrs lord is strong; e) All Grahas in odd Rasis.

Notes: The involvement of an odd Rasi is essential, as they are male ones, so that a male issue is obtained, vide points b) and e) above. The conceptional Lagn, Guru, the luminaries and Sukr being strong and in an odd Rasi can also lead to birth of a son. As the conception time is difficult to be obtained, one can safely depend upon Prashn Kundali, or Janm Kundali. Should Candr and Sukr be chiefly important, there will be birth of a female.
