The Jewel of All Meanings

...from the measurement. Divide by 30; the result obtained is the degree of the Mandi-vatiA specific mathematical point used in calculating the sub-planet Mandi. One should then calculate the precise position here, just as one does for the Ascendant. || 95 || From the PakeshaThe lord of the planetary period or Dasha currently in operation, if the lord of the sub-period is situated in the 8th, 6th, or 12th house from it, he becomes an enemy.

The wise speak of the results of the houses in this manner. || 3 || Whichever house lord is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th, or if the lord of a "bad house" dusthana is situated in a particular house...
