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 उपेन्द्रवज्रा— उपेन्द्रवज्रा तु जतौ जगौ गः— तृतीयगश्चौरकुमारकेभ्यो भौमः सकाशात्फलमादधाति । प्रदीप्तिमाज्ञां धनमौर्णिकानि धात्वाकराख्यानि किलापराणि ॥१२॥ Sloka 12.—Mars in the 3rd confers benefits through thieves and urchins, energy, authority, wealth, woollen articles, mineral wealth and the like.
