The Jewel of Astrological Wonders

original: "Chamatkara Chintamani," a classic Sanskrit astrological text here accompanied by a Marathi commentary.

Mars in the house of siblings. The third house. By what means is it said that they gain strength? How could their penance and efforts ever be mocked? || 3 ||

Commentary: For one who has Mars in the House of Valor the third house at the time of birth, from where else would the strength and beauty of his arms arise? 1. Thus, one who has Mars in the third house will obtain the following results: strength in the arms, physical beauty, happiness from brothers, and success in spiritual penance.

Verse

When the Son of the Earth Mars, often called Bhauma or Bhusuta is present in the fourth house, of what use are the other planets being favorable to people? There is no happiness from friends or in the home, yet he may receive various favors, garments, and lands from the protector of the earth the King. || 4 ||

Commentary: For one who has Mars in the fourth house, even if all other planets besides Mars are favorable, what is the use? He will not derive happiness from friends. However, he will obtain favors, clothing, land, and such from the King.

Verse

With Mars in the fifth, the digestive fire original: "jatharagni," the internal fire responsible for digestion and vitality becomes very strong, yet this alone destroys the siblings that are born. At that time, even if he is involved in sin, his mind always suffers like boiling milk. || 5 ||

Commentary: For one who has Mars in the fifth house at the time of birth, his digestive fire will be great. He will not have brothers, and even if he has them, they will die. In short, he will not experience the happiness of having siblings. He will not carry much fear of sin in his heart. And like the boiling of milk, he will feel constant heat and agitation in his mind.

Verse

When Mars is in the sixth, enemies do not stand before you in battle; what more is there to say? Such a person is wise, happy, and though he may not get along with his maternal uncle, he destroys his enemies and gains wealth. || 6 ||
