अथ भाग्यभावं विप्र ! फलं वक्ष्ये तवाऽग्रतः ।
सबलो भाग्यपे भाग्ये जातो भाग्ययुतो भवेत् ॥ १ ॥

भाग्यस्थानगते जीवे तर्दाशे केन्द्रसंस्थिते ।
लग्नेशे बलसंयुक्ते बहुभाग्ययुतो भवेत् ॥ २ ॥

Verse 1–2

1-2 Now I speak before you, O Brahmin, the effects of the 9th House. If the strong 9th Lord occupies the 9th House, the native is fortunate. Jupiter being placed in the 9th House and the 9th Lord in an angle and the Ascendant Lord being endowed with strength, in this combination he will be extremely fortunate.

भाग्येशे बलसंयुक्ते भाग्ये भृगुसमन्विते ।
लग्नात् केन्द्रगते जीवे पिता भाग्यसमन्वितः ॥ ३ ॥

Verse 3
  1. The native's father will be fortunate when the 9th Lord in the native's horoscope is endowed with strength and Venus is placed in the 9th House while Jupiter is in an angle from the Ascendant.

भाग्यस्थानाद् द्वितीये वा सुखे भौमसमन्विते ।
भाग्येशे नीचराशिस्थे पिता निर्धन एवं हि ॥ ४ ॥

Verse 4
  1. In case Mars occupies the 2nd or 4th House from the 9th and the 9th Lord is in his sign of debilitation, the native's father will be indigent.

भाग्येशे परमोच्चस्थे भाग्यांशे जीवसंयुते ।
लग्नाच्चतुष्टये शुक्रे तत्पिता दीर्घजीवनः ॥ ५ ॥

Verse 5
  1. The father of that native will be longlived in whose birth chart the 9th Lord is very highly exalted and the Navamamsha of the 9th House is occupied by Jupiter and in an angle from the Ascendant is placed Venus.

भाग्येशे केन्द्रभावस्थे गुरणा च निरीक्षिते ।
तत्पिता वाहनैर्युक्तो राजा वा तत्समो भवेत् ॥ ६ ॥

Verse 6
  1. When the 9th Lord is in an angle and is aspected by Jupiter, the native's father will be a king endowed with conveyances or will be equal to king.

भाग्येशे कर्मभावस्थे कर्मेशे भाग्यराशिगे ।
शुभदृष्टे धनाढ्य्यश्च कीर्तिमांस्तत्पिता भवेत् ॥ ७ ॥

Verse 7
  1. If the 9th Lord is situated in the 10th House and the 10th Lord in the 9th House and is aspected by a benefic planet, the native's father will be wealthy and famous.

धर्मिष्ठो नृपवात्सल्य: पितृभक्तो भवेन्नरः ॥ ८ ॥

लग्नात्त्रिकोणगे सूर्ये भाग्येशे सप्तमस्थिते ।
गुरुणा सहिते दृष्टे पितृभक्तिसमन्वितः ॥ ९ ॥

Verse 8–9

8-9 If the Sun is in his highest exaltation and the 9th Lord is in the 11th House, the native will be religious minded, favourite of a king and devoted to his father. Should the Sun be in a trine from the Ascendant, the 9th Lord be in the 7th House in conjunction with or aspected by Jupiter, the native will have great devotion to his father.

भाग्येशे धनभावस्थे धनेशे भाग्यराशिगे ।
द्वात्रिंशात्परतो भाग्यं वाहनं कीर्तिसम्भवः ॥ १० ॥

Verse 10
  1. The placement of the 9th Lord in the 2nd House and of the 2nd Lord in the 9th House make it possible that the native will get fortunes, conveyances and fame in his 32nd year.

लग्नेशे भाग्यराशिस्थे षष्ठेशेन समन्विते ।
अन्योन्यवैरं ब्रवते जनकः कुत्सितो भवेत् ॥ ११ ॥

Verse 11
  1. Should the Ascendant Lord along with the 6th Lord occupy the 9th House, the father and the sons will have enmity with each other and the father will be a person of contemptible nature.

कर्माधिपेन सहितो विक्रमेशोऽपि निर्बलः ।
भाग्यपो नीचमूढस्थो योगो भिक्षाशनप्रदः ॥ १२ ॥

Verse 12
  1. In case both the 10th Lord and the 3rd Lord are bereft of strength and the 9th Lord is in his debilitation sign or is combust the combination will make the native beg his food.

व्ययेशे लग्नराशिस्थे षष्टेशे पञ्चमे स्थिते ॥ २३ ॥

रव्यंशे च स्थिते चन्द्रे लग्नेशे रन्ध्रसंयुते ॥ २० ॥

पितृस्थानाधिपे सूर्ये मन्दभौमसमन्विते ॥ २१ ॥

पञ्चाशद्वत्सरे प्राप्ते जनकस्य मृतिर्भवेत् ।
भाग्यात् सप्तमगे सूर्ये भ्रातृसप्तमगस्तमः ॥ २२ ॥

रन्ध्रजामित्रगे मन्दे मन्दाज्जामित्रगे रखौ ॥ २३ ॥

त्रिंशैकविशे षडविंशे जनकस्य मृतिर्भवेत |

Verse 13–25

13-25 The death of the native's father will occur before his birth if the Sun is placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th House, the 8th Lord in the 9th House, 12th Lord in the Ascendant House and the 6th Lord in the 5th House. If the Sun is situated in the 8th House and the 8th Lord in the 9th House the death of the native's father should be told in the first year of his nativity. The native's father dies in the 3rd or the 16th year of his life in case the 12th Lord is in the 9th House, and the 9th Lord is in his degrees of fall. The father's death is to be predicted in the 2nd or the 12th year, if the Ascendant Lord occupies the 8th House in conjunction with the Sun. It (father's death) will occur in the 16th or 18th year in case Rahu is placed 8th from the 9th House (or 4th from the Ascendant), and 9th from 9th or (5th from the Ascendant) is situated the Sun. If Rahu is in conjunction with the Sun, and Saturn is situated in the 9th House from the Moon, the ve's father will certainly go to his heavenly abode in his 7th or 19th year. The father's death is to be predicted in the 44th year in the event of the 9th Lord falling in the 12th House and the 12th Lord in the 9th House. The native's father dies in his 35th or 41st year if there is the Moon in the Navamamsha of the Sun and the Ascendant Lord is situated in the 8th House. If the Sun as the Lord of the 9th House has conjunction with Saturn and Mars the father will die in the 50th year. If the Sun is there 7th from the 9th (Third from the Ascendant) and Rahu 7th from the 3rd (9th from the Ascendant) the death of the father is to be told in the 6th or 25th year. If 7th from the 8th House (2nd from the Ascendant) has fallen Saturn and the Sun 7th from Saturn, the father's death occurs in the 30th, 21st or 26th year. In case the 9th Lord is in his sign of debilitation and its Lord (the Lord of that sign of debilitation) occupies the 9th House, the father's death is to be predicted in the 26th or 33rd year. It is in this way that the Astrologers should have the knowledge of effects.

परमोच्चांशगे शुक्रे भाग्येशेन समन्विते ।
भ्रातृस्थाने शनियुते बहुभाग्याधिपो भवेत् ॥ २६ ॥

Verse 26
  1. The native becomes fortunate in many ways if Venus is in her highest exaltation and is in conjunction with the 9th Lord and Saturn occupies the 3rd House.

गुरुणा संयुते भाग्ये तदीशे केन्द्रराशिगे ।
विंशद्वर्षात् परं चैव बहुभाग्यं विनिर्दिशेत् ॥ २७ ॥

परमोच्चांशगे सौम्ये भाग्येशे भाग्यराशिगे ।
षट्त्रिंशाच्च परं चैव बहुभाग्यं विनिर्दिर्शेत् ॥ २८ ॥

Verse 27–28

27-28 Should Jupiter be in the 9th House and the 9th Lord in an angle the native acquires abundant wealth. If Mercury is in his highest exaltation and the 9th Lord is situated in the 9th House itself, the native acquires abundant wealth after the 36th year.

लग्नेशे भाग्यराशिस्थे भाग्येशे लग्नसंयुते ।
गुरुणा संयुते द्यूने धनवाहनलाभकृत ॥ २९ ॥

Verse 29
  1. The situation of the Ascendant Lord in the 9th House and that of the 9th Lord in the Ascendant House and that of Jupiter in the 7th House will confer on the native gains of wealth and conveyances.

भाग्यादभाग्यगतो राहुस्तदीशे निधनं गते ।
भाग्येशे नीचराशिस्थे भाग्यहीनो भवेन्नरः ॥ ३० ॥

Verse 30
  1. If 9th from 9th (5th from the Ascendant) is placed Rahu and its Lord (the 5th Lord) occupies the 8th House from the Ascendant and the 9th Lord is in his sign of debilitation the native will be devoid of fortunes.

भाग्यस्थानगते मन्दे शशिना च समन्विते ।
लग्नेशे नीचराशिस्थे भिक्षाशी च नरो भवेत् ॥ ३१ ॥

Verse 31
  1. The native acquires food by begging should Saturn be in the 9th House along with the Moon and the Ascendant Lord be in his debilitation sign.

एवं भाग्यफलं विप्र! संक्षेपात् कथितं मया ।
लग्नेशभाग्यभावेशस्थित्याऽन्यदपि निर्दिशेत् ॥ ३२ ।।

Verse 32
  1. O Brahmini, I told you briefly of the effects of the 9th House in this way. Other effects are to be indicated as per the situation of the 9th Lord and the Ascendant Lord.
