  1. O Sage, I have heard from you a number of Wealth giving yogas. Now O Lord, kindly tell me of those yogas due to which one is born in extreme poverty.

Notes :- It has been found that this yoga has adverse effect on the native's health also. The effect emerges off and on in the native's whole life. The nature of the disease is determined by the planets that are included in the change of signs.

Verse 16–18

16-18. Now I shall speak of some other Daridrya Yoga (combinations causing penury) and also their conditions of nullifications. Mars and Saturn situated in the 2nd House, the House of wealth have been said to be the destroyers of wealth, but if they are aspected by Mercury they will make the native extremely rich there is no doubt in it. If there (in the 2nd House) is the Sun who is aspected by Saturn, it will make the native bereft of his wealth and if there is no aspect of Saturn, on him (the Sun) it will make him extremely wealthy and famous. The effects of Saturn (in the Sun's condition) aspected by the Sun are given in the same way (that is if Saturn in the 2nd House receives the aspect of the Sun it will make the native extremely poor and if Saturn is not aspected by the sun it will give much wealth and fame).
