लाभभावफलञ्चाथ कथयामि द्विजोत्तम ! ।
श्रूयतां जातको लोके यच्छुभत्वे सदा सुखी ॥ १ ॥

Verse 1
  1. O excellent Dwija (twice born) listen to me. Now I explain to you the effects related to the 11th House, the auspiciousness of which house will make the native happy at all times.

लाभाधिपो यदा लाभे तिष्ठेत् केन्द्रत्रिकोणयोः ।
बहुलाभं तदा कुर्यादुच्चे सूर्यांशगोऽपि वा ॥ २ ॥

Verse 2
  1. When the 11th Lord is situated in the 11th House itself or in an angle or in a trine or he is exalted though in combustion, the combination will bring many gains to the native.

गुरुणा सहिते भावे गुरुलाभं विनिर्दिशत् ॥ ३ ॥

Verse 3
  1. The situation of the 11th Lord in the sign of Wealth (the 2nd House), that of the 2nd Lord in an angle (from the Ascendant) and, the occupation of the 11th House by Jupiter, indicates that gains will be immense.

लाभेशे विक्रमे भावे शुभग्रहसमन्विते ।
षटुत्रिंशे वत्सरे प्राप्ते सहस्त्रद्वयनिष्कभाक् ॥ ४ ॥

Verse 4
  1. Should the 11th Lord be in the 3rd House and the 11th House be situated with benefic planets, the native will have a gain of 2000 Nishkas in his 36th year.

In this combination the native earns wealth through his own efforts. He may show any amount of enterprise in order to earn wealth, because according to the sloka the 11th Lord is situated in the 3rd House, the House of Courage and enterprise. The situation of a benefic planet in the 11th House procures for the native the good effects of his efforts.

केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे लाभनाथे शुभसमन्विते ।
चत्वारिंशे तु सम्प्राप्ते सहस्त्रार्धसुनिष्कभाक् ॥ ५ ॥

Verse 5

भाग्यस्थानगते शुक्रे षट्सहस्राधिपो भवेत् ॥ ६ ॥

Verse 6
  1. The native will be a possessor of 6000 Nishkas in case the 11th House is occupied by Jupiter, the 2nd by the Moon and the 9th by Venus.

लाभाच्च लाभगे जीवे बुधचन्द्रसमन्विते ।
धनधान्याधिपः श्रीमान्त्रलाद्याभरणैर्युतः ॥ ७ ॥

Verse 7
  1. If in 11th from the 11th (that is 9th from the Ascendant) is placed Jupiter together with Mercury and the Moon, the native will be gifted with wealth, grains, fortunes, diamonds, ornaments etc.

त्रयस्त्रिंशे तु सम्प्राप्ते सहस्त्रनिष्कभाग् भवेत् ॥ ८ ॥

भ्रातृभावाद्धनप्राप्तिदिव्याभरणसंयुतः ॥ १० ॥

  1. Should the 3rd Lord occupy the 11th House and, the 11th Lord the 3rd House, the native will have gains through brothers and will be endowed with divine ornaments.

कृते भूरिप्रयलेऽपि नैव लाभ: कदाचन ॥ ११ ॥
