23. Effects of the Tenth House

कर्मभावफलं चाऽथ कथयामि तवाग्रतः ।
श्रणु मैत्रेय ! तत्त्वेन ब्रह्म-गर्गादिभाषितम् ॥ २ ॥

1. O Maitreya, now I explain to you the effects of the 10th House. Listen now the essence of the words of Brahma, Garga and others in this connection.

सबले कर्मभावेशे स्वोच्चे स्वांशे स्वराशिगे ।
जातस्तातसुखेनाढ्यो यशस्वी शुभकर्मकृत् ॥ २ ॥

2. Should the 10th Lord be endowed with strength and occupy his exaltation sign, his Navamamsha or his own sign, the native gets extreme paternal happiness, enjoys fame and performs good deeds.

कर्माधिपो बलोनश्चेत् कर्मवैकल्यमादिशेत् ।
सैहिः केन्द्रत्रिकोणस्थो ज्योतिष्टोमादियागकृत ॥ ३ ॥

3. If the 10th Lord is devoid of strength the native be told that he will face obstructions in his work. When Rahu occupies an angle or a trine he will perform Jyotishtoma Yajna etc.

कर्मेशे शुभसंयुक्ते शुभस्थानगते तथा ।
राजद्वारे च वाणिज्ये सदा लाभोऽन्यथान्यथा ॥ ४ ॥

4. When the 10th Lord is in conjunction with a benefic planet and is situated in benefic house, the native will ever gain through royal patronage and in business. There will be opposite results in a reverse situation.

दशमे पापसंयुक्ते लाभे पापसमन्विते ।
दुष्कृतिं लभते मर्त्यः स्वजनानां विदूषकः ॥ ५ ॥

5. If the 10th and the 11th House are occupied by malefic planets, the native will indulge in bad deeds and will bring bad name to his men.

कर्मेशे नाशराशिस्थे राहणा संयुते तथा ।
जनद्वेषी महामूर्खो दुषकृतिं लभते नरः ॥ ६ ॥

6. The situation of the 10th Lord along with Rahu in the 8th House make the native averse to the people, a great fool and a doer of evil deeds.

कर्मेशे द्यूनराशिस्थे मन्दभौमसमन्विते ।
द्यूनेशे पापसंयुते शिश्नोदरपरायणः ॥ ७ ॥

7. If the 10th Lord together with Saturn and Mars has been. placed in the 7th House and the 7th Lord himself is with a malefic, the native will be disposed to indulging in carnal pleasures and to filling his belly.

तुङ्गराशिं समाश्रित्य कर्मेशे गुरुसंयुते ।
भाग्येशे कर्मराशिस्थे मानैश्वर्यप्रतापवान् ॥ ८ ॥

लाभेशे कर्मराशिस्थे कर्मेशे लग्नसंयुते ।
तावुभौ केन्द्रगौ वापि सुखजीवनभाग् भवेत् ॥ ९ ॥

कर्मेशे बलसंयुक्ते मीने गुरुसमन्विते ।
वस्त्राभरणसौख्यादि लभते नात्र संशय: ॥ १० ॥

8-10 If in conjunction with Jupiter the 10th Lord be in his exaltation sign and the 9th Lord be in the 10th House, the combination will confer on the native honour, wealth and valour. The native will have happiness as his portion in life when the 11th Lord has gone into the 10th House and the 10th Lord into the Ascendant House or they both have gone into an (angle) sign. There is no doubt in it that the native will have the blessing of having robes, ornaments and happiness should the strong 10th Lord be placed in Pisces in conjunction with Jupiter.

लाभस्थानगते सूर्ये राहुभौमसमन्विते ।
रविपुत्रेण संयुक्ते कर्मच्छेत्ता भवेन्नरः ॥ ११ ॥

11. The Sun in conjunction with Rahu, Mars and Saturn being placed in the 11th House makes the native a failure in the performance of his duties.

मीने जीवे भृगुयुते लग्नेशे बलसंयुते ।
स्वोच्चराशिगते चन्द्रे सम्यग्ज्ञानार्थवान् भवेत् ॥ १२ ॥

12. The native will be learned and wealthy when Jupiter and Venus are situated in Pisces and the Ascendant Lord is endowed. with strength and the Moon is in her exaltation sign.

कर्मेशे लाभराशिस्थे लाभेशे लग्नसंस्थिते ।
कर्मराशिस्थिते शुक्रे रत्नवान् स नरो भवेत् ॥ १३ ॥

13. If the 10th Lord is situated in the 11th House, the 11th Lord in the Ascendant and, Venus in the 10th, the combination makes the native a possessor of precious stones.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे कर्मनाथे स्वोच्चसमाश्रिते ।
गुरुणा सहिते दृष्टे स कर्मसहितो भवेत् ॥ १४ ॥

14. The 10th Lord being placed in an angle or a trine in his sign of exaltation and being conjunct with or aspected by Jupiter, the native will be endowed with worthy deeds.

कर्मेशे लग्नभावस्थे लग्नेशेन समन्विते ।
केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे चन्द्रे सत्कर्मनिरतो भवेत् ॥ १५ ॥

15. The 10th Lord being gone in the Ascendant House together with the Ascendant Lord and the Moon in an angle or a trine makes the native interested in doing good deeds.

कर्मस्थानगते मन्दे नीचखेचरसंयुते ।
कर्मांशे पापसंयुक्ते कर्महीनो भवेन्नरः ॥ १६ ॥

16. It Saturn together with a planet in his debiltation sign occupies the 10th House, and the Navamamsha of the 10th House is also situated with a malefic planet, the native is bereft of actions.

कर्मेशे नाशराशिस्थे रन्ध्रेशे कर्मसंस्थिते ।
पापग्रहेण संयुक्ते दुष्कर्म निरतो भवेत् ॥ १७ ॥

17. When the 10th Lord occupies the 8th House and the 8th Lord the 10th House together with a malefic planet, the native will indulge in wicked deeds.

कर्मेशे नीचराशिस्थे कर्मस्थे पापखेचरे ।
कर्मभात्कर्मगे पापे कर्मवैकल्यमादिशेत् ॥ १८ ॥

18. In the event of the 10th Lord being in his sign of debilitation and both the 10th House and the 10th from the 10th House (or the 7th House from the Ascendant House) being under the occupation of malefic planets, the native will face obstructions in the accomplishment of his actions.

कर्मस्थानगते चन्द्रे तदीशे तत्त्रिकोणगे ।
लग्नेशे केन्द्रभावस्थे सत्कीर्तिसहितो भवेत् ॥ १९ ॥

लाभेशे कर्मभावस्थे कर्मेशे बलसंयुक्ते ।
देवेन्द्रगुरुणा दृष्टे सत्कीर्तिसहितो भवेत् ॥ २० ॥

कर्मस्थानाधिपे भाग्ये लग्नेशे कर्मसंयुते ।
लग्नात् पञ्चमगे चन्द्रे ख्यातनामा नरो भवेत् ॥ २१ ॥

19-21 If there is the occupation of the Moon on the 10th House and, from there (from the 10th House) in a trine or in the 5th House from the Ascendant that of the 10th Lord and, in an angle that of the Ascendant Lord, the native will be endowed with fame. Should that 11th Lord be there in the 10th House, the 10th Lord be endowed with strength and, they have the aspect of Jupiter, the combination will give to the native result similar to that in the above sloka. If the 10th Lord is placed in the 9th House and the Ascendant Lord in the 10th House and 5th from the Ascendant is the Moon the native becomes an illustrious person.

इति कर्मफलं प्रोक्तं संक्षेपेण द्विजोत्तम ! ।
लग्नकर्मेशसम्बन्धादूह्यमन्यदपि स्वयम् ॥ २२ ॥

22. O excellent Brahmin, I have stated briefly in this way the effects of the 10th House. You yourself are to guess the other related effects through the relationship of the 10th and the Ascendant Lord.
