the time of marriage, the girl will become a widow ;
Rahu in such a position will deprive her of her children ;
Saturn will make her penurious; Venus, Mercury or

Sloka 2.—The Sun, Saturn, Rahu or Mars posited in
the 2nd house from the Lagna causes unfailingly inde-
scribable miseries arising from poverty ; Jupiter, Venus or

Adh. CIII. Sl. 10-12.] त्र्यधिकशततमोऽध्यायः 707
Sloka 9:-Venus, the Sun, Mars and Jupiter posited

to her husband; Mercury bestows many children and
grand children; Saturn and Mars make her heart addict-
ed to drink.
गोपैर्यष्ट्याहतानां खुरपुटदलिता या तु धूलिर्दिनान्ते
सोद्वाहे सुन्दरीणां विपुलधनसुतारोग्यसौभाग्यकर्त्री ।
तस्मिन् काले न चर्क्षं न च तिथिकरणं नैव लग्नं न योगः
ख्यातः पुंसां सुखार्थं शमयति दुरितान्युत्थितं गोरजस्तु ॥१३॥
Sloka 13.—The dust that is raised in the evening
by the pointed hoofs of the cows beaten by the cow-herds
with their sticks is favourable for the marriage of beauti-
ful girls. It bestows abundant wealth, sons, sound health
and leads to the husband’s affection. At this time it is
not at all necessary to consider the asterism, the Tithi,
Karana, Yoga and Lagna. For, the dust raised by cows
is noted for giving happiness to men and wards off all
sins.
Thus ends the 103rd Adhyaya on the "Effects of Planetary
Combination at the Time of Marriage".
ग्रहगोचराध्यायः ॥१०४॥ On Transits of Planets.
प्रायेण सूत्रेण विनाकृतानि प्रकाशरन्ध्राणि चिरन्तनानि ।
रत्नानि शास्त्राणि च योजितानि नवैर्गुणैर्भूषयितुं क्षमाणि ॥१॥
Sloka 1.—Generally, ancient gems and Sastras
which are without strings (unstrung) and a metrical form
(respectively), whose bores are quite visible and faults
apparent (respectively), become fit to be worn as orna-
ments and to be held in high esteem (respectively), when
they are combined with new strings and excellent ideas
couched in fine metres (respectively).
प्रायेण गोचरो व्यवहार्योऽतस्तत्फलानि वक्ष्यामि ।
नानावृत्तैरार्या मुखचपलत्वं क्षमध्वं नः ॥२॥

Adh. CIV. Sl 3.] त्र्यधिकशततमोऽध्यायः 769
Sloka 2.--Generally, the transit of planets comes
within the purview of our daily experience. Hence I shall
expound its effects, O noble persons in varied metres.
Kindly excuse my volubility.
This verse is composed in the आर्या metre known as मुखचपला.
Here the author steps into the realm of Prosody too. Primarily,
metres are classified under two heads., viz., वृत्त and जाति. The for-
mer is based upon groups of three syllables called अक्षरगण, while the
latter, upon groups of four Matras or syllabic instants. आर्या belongs
to the latter class. Most of the verses in this work are in the आर्या
metre, whose construction is as follows:— The first and third quar-
ters must have 12 Matras each of three Ganas, the second, 18 and
the fourth 15. In the second, there will be four Ganas and a final
long syllable. In the 4th, the 9th Matra will be considered as a group
by itself. Thus in both the halves, there will be 7 groups and a
long syllable (2 Matras). It is a rule that the odd groups ought
not to have जगण (◡-◡) and the sixth ought to have जगण or four
Laghus (◡ ◡ ◡ ◡). Let us take the above verse itself and see if it
satisfies these conditions.
$\overset{1}{--}$, $\overset{2}{◡-◡}$, $\overset{3}{--◡}$, $\overset{4}{--}$, $\overset{5}{--}$, $\overset{6}{◡-◡}$, $\overset{7}{--}$, $-$ (12+18)
$--$, $◡-◡$, $--$, $◡ ◡ ◡ ◡$, $--$, $◡$, $--$, $-$ (12+15).
In addition to this, the above is मुखचपला आर्या ; i. e., the 2nd
and 4th Ganas of the first half should necessarily be जगण having a
long syllable on either side ; the second half follows the rules of an
ordinary आर्या. In the above example the 4th गण is not ज.
माण्डव्यगिरं श्रुत्वा न मदीया रोचतेऽथवा नैवम् ।
साध्वी तथा न पुंसां प्रिया यथा स्याज्जघनचपला ॥३॥
Sloka 3.--Or, my statements on this subject will
surely be admired by the learned who have heard those
of Mandavya, for men do not love their devout and
chaste wives so much as they do courtesans.
This verse is composed in the जघनचपला kind of आर्या whose
characteristics are that the first half is like that of the ordinary
Arya and the second like that of मुखचपला. Mandavya's statements,

770 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. CIV. Sl. 4-5.
though containing the truth, are not couched in fine words and
metres. So, the author says that his will be loved and appreciated
by the cultured. This Mandavya is mentioned by Pingalacharya
as an author on Prosody.
सूर्यः षट्त्रिदशस्थितस्त्रिदशषट्सप्ताद्यगश्चन्द्रमा
जीवः सप्तनवद्विपञ्चमगतो वक्रार्कजौ षट्त्रिगौ ।
सौम्यः षड्द्विचतुर्दशाष्टमगतः सर्वेऽप्युपान्ते शुभाः
शुक्रः सप्तमषड्दशर्क्षसहितः शार्दूलवत् त्रासकृत् ॥४॥
Sloka 4.—The Sun in his transit is beneficial in the
6th, 3rd and 10th places from the Janma Rasi; the Moon
in the Janma Rasi, the 3rd, 6th, 7th and the 10th houses;
Jupiter, in the 2nd, 5th, 7th and 9th ; Mars and Saturn,
in the 3rd and 6th ; Mercury, in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th
and 10th ; all the planets are beneficial when they tran-
sit the 11th place. Venus causes dread like the tiger in
the 6th, 7th and 10th ; (in other places, he confers bene-
ficial results).
A knowledge of वेध is quite necessary for ascertaining, the
correct results of transit. See जा-पा Adhyaya XIII-60 and फ-दी.
Adhyaya XXVI.
This verse is composed in the शार्दूलविक्रीडितवृत्त whose definition
is सूर्याश्वैर्मसजास्ततः सगुरवः शार्दूलविक्रीडितम्-
जन्मन्यायासदोऽर्कः क्षपयति विभवान् कोष्ठरोगाध्वदाता
वित्तभ्रंशं द्वितीये दिशति च न सुखं वञ्चनां दृग्रुजं च ।
स्थानप्राप्तिं तृतीये धननिचयमुदा कल्पकृच्चारिहर्त्ता
रोगान् दत्ते चतुर्थे जनयति च मुहुः स्रग्धरा भोगविघ्नम् ॥५॥
Sloka 5.—The Sun passing through the Janma Rasi
causes fatigue, reduces wealth, brings on bowel-disease
and wearisome travelling. When he transits the 2nd
house, there will be loss of wealth and the person will be
unhappy. He will be duped and suffer from eye-trouble.

Adh. CIV. Sl. 6-7.] त्र्यधिकशततमोऽध्यायः 771
In the 3rd house, acquisition of a new position, advent of
moneys, happiness, freedom from sickness and destruc-
tion of enemies will be the result. In the 4th house, the
Sun causes diseases, and there will often arise impedi-
ments to the native in the matter of his sexual enjoy-
ments.
This Sloka is in स्रग्धरा metre which is defined as म्रभ्नैर्यानां त्रयेण
त्रिमुनियतियुता स्रग्धरा कीर्त्तितेयम्.
पीडाः स्युः पञ्चमस्थे सवितरि बहुशो रोगारिजनिताः
षष्ठेऽर्को हन्ति रोगान् क्षपयति च रिपून् शोकांश्च नुदति ।
अध्वानं सप्तमस्थो जठरगदमयं दैन्यं च कुरुते
रुक्त्रासौ चाष्टमस्थे भवति सुवदना न क्वापि वनिता ॥६॥
Sloka 6.—When the Sun transits the 5th house, there
will be multifarious troubles arising from illness and ene-
mies; in the 6th, he puts an end to illness, enemies and
grief; in the 7th, there will be wearisome travelling,
diseases of the stomach and humiliation; in the 8th, he
will suffer from fear and diseases; and even his own wife
will speak harshly to him.
This verse is called सुवदना. This consists of 20 letters; the
definition is
ज्ञेया सप्ताश्वषड्भिर्मरभनययुता ग्लौ गः सुवदना ।
रवावापद्दैन्यं रुगिति नवमे वित्तचेष्टाविरोधो
जयं प्राप्नोत्युग्रं दशमगृहगे कर्मसिद्धि क्रमेण ।
जयस्थानं मानं विभवमपि चैकादशे रोगनाशं
सुवृत्तानां चेष्टा भवति सफला द्वादशे नेतरेषाम् ॥७॥
Sloka 7.—The Sun in the 9th causes danger, humili-
ation, disease and impediments to wealth and undertak-
ings; in the 10th house, a very mighty undertaking will

772 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. CIV. Sl. 8-9.
be successfully completed. A new position, honour, wealth
and freedom from disease will be the effect of the Sun's
transit in the 11th house. When the Sun passes through
the 12th, the activities of only those that have a bright
character will be successful and not of others.
This is in सुवृत्ता metre - A पाद consists of 19 syllables
यभौ न्सौरौ गश्चेद्विरसमुनिभिः स्याद्विरामैः सुवृत्ता-
शशी जन्मन्यन्नप्रवरशयनाच्छादनकरो

चतुर्थेऽविश्वासः शिखरिणि भुजङ्गेन सदृशः ॥८॥
Sloka 8.--The Moon in her travel through the Janma
Rasi gives excellent dishes, couches and shawls ; in the
2nd, reduces honour and wealth and causes impediments;
in the 3rd, confers clothes, damsels, wealth, success and
happiness ; when she is in the 4th, one loses trust in others,
as in a mountain infested with snakes
The metre is शिखरिणी- (17 syllables).
रसै रुद्रैश्छिन्ना यमनसभलागः शिखरिणी.
दैन्यं व्याधिं शुचमपि शशी पञ्चमे मार्गविघ्नं
षष्ठे वित्तं जनयति सुखं शत्रुरोगक्षयं च ।
यानं मानं शयनमशनं सप्तमे वित्तलाभं
मन्दाक्रान्ते फणिनि हिमगौ चाष्टमे भीर्न कस्य ॥९॥
Sloka 9.--The Moon in the 5th brings about humi-
liation, illness, grief and obstruction to journey ; in the
6th, confers wealth and happiness and destroys enemies
and diseases; in the 7th confers vehicles, honour, couches,
food and money. Whoever is not frightened as by a snake
trodden upon accidentally, when the Moon is in the 8th ?

Adh. CIV. Sl. 10-12.] त्र्यधिकशततमोऽध्यायः 773
This is in मन्दाक्रान्ता (of 17 syllables).
मन्दाक्रान्ता मभनततगा गः समुद्रर्तु लोकैः—

वृषभचरितान्दोषानन्त्ये करोति च सव्ययान् ॥१०॥

ment, agony, suffering and stomach diseases ; in the 10th,
confers position of authority and accomplishment of one's
task ; in the 11th, prosperity, meeting of friends, riches
and joy ; in the 12th, causes expenses and blemishes
caused by one's own action, as in the case of a bull
(which spoils both its hoofs and horns, by striking the
earth, etc.)

वृषभचरितं नसौ म्रौ स्लो गो रसौदधिसप्तकैः—
कुजेऽभिघातः प्रथमे द्वितीये नरेन्द्रपीडा कलहारिदोषैः ।
भृशं च पित्तानलचौररोगैरुपन्द्रवज्रप्रतिमोऽपि यः स्यात् ॥११॥
Sloka 11.—Mars in the Janma Rasi causes bodily
affliction ; in the 2nd, trouble from the sovereign and
enemies, quarrels, excessive bilious troubles, fire accidents,
robbery and disease, though the person is like Upendra or
thunderbolt.
This is in उपेन्द्रवज्रा—
उपेन्द्रवज्रा तु जतौ जगौ गः—
तृतीयगश्चौरकुमारकेभ्यो भौमः सकाशात्फलमादधाति ।

जनपदमुपरिस्थितश्च भुङ्क्ते वनमिव षट्चरणः सुपुष्पिताग्रम् ॥१७॥
Sloka 17.—Mars in the 10th produces neutral effects;
in the 11th, he causes gain of various kinds of riches and
success, and enables one to excercise power and anthority
over the country, just as a bee has its free movements and
enjoyment in a forest of abundant flowers.
The metre is सुपुष्पिताग्रा-
भवीत जगति नो ततश्च रो यो नजसहितैर्जरगैश्च पुष्पिताग्रा-

778 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. CIV. Sl. 26-28.
स्थानभ्रंशत् कार्यविघातश्च तृतीये-
ऽनेकः क्लेशैर्बन्धुजनोत्थैश्च चतुर्थे ।
जीवे शान्तिं पीडितचित्तश्च स विन्देत्
नैव ग्रामे नापि वने मत्तमयूरे ॥२६॥
Sloka 26.—When Jupiter passes through the 3rd
house, the person will be troubled by loss of position, and
his undertaking will be spoiled; when through the 4th,
he will be troubled by multitudinous worries caused by his
relatives, and he will get peace of mind neither in the
village, nor in the forest that abounds in intoxicated
peacocks.
This is in मत्तमयूर.—
वेदै रन्ध्रै म्तौ यसगा मत्तमयूरम्—
जनयति च तनयभवनमुपगतः

Sloka 28.—When Jupiter passes through the 6th
house, even a friend's face bright with the Tilaka will not
please a person's heart; nor the forest that is resounding

Adh. CIV. Sl 29-31.} चतुरधिकशततमोऽध्यायः 779
with the notes of pea-cocks and cuckoos and looking won-
derful by the frisking of the fawns.
The idea is, friends will become enemies and good things will
look hateful. This sloka is in हरिणप्लुतावृत्तम्-
त्रिसकारचितैर्भवतौ लघु नौ नभरैश्च वणेर्हरिणप्लुतम्
त्रिदशगुरुः शयनं रतिभोगं धनमशनं कुसुमान्युपवाह्यम् ।

proceeding in a chariot on his journey.
