The Jewel of Miraculous Secrets.

Original title: Chamatkara Chintamani, a classic 14th-century Sanskrit astrological text.

Verse.

One speaks with moderation, yet acquires immense wealth; through negligence, one acts like a king throughout

the world. When Mercury is in the house of action, one is especially honored by the wise, gaining father’s

wealth through legal authority or royal decree. ||10||

Commentary.— If Mercury is in the tenth house The house of career and public life, the person will be very soft-spoken. However, they will acquire limitless wealth. They may display certain eccentricities or faults similar to those of a king, yet they will remain worthy of worship among the people. They shall inherit their father's property through legal power or official authority.

Verse.

Without Mercury in the house of gains, there is neither profit nor beauty,

nor freedom from debt. How then could one give a daughter in marriage, or how

could the priests have their thirst for charity quenched? ||11||

Commentary.— If Mercury is in the eleventh house The house of gains and social circles, the person will enjoy profits, physical beauty, and freedom from debt. The commentary here interprets the verse's rhetorical questions as positive outcomes. However, it is suggested they may not have a daughter. They will acquire so much wealth that even after giving much away, the desires of the Brahmins The priestly class will not be fully satisfied.

Verse.

If the son of the Moon is not in the twelfth, how would people not flock to his lands?

In battle, enemies feel fear; his treasury of gold and wealth is enjoyed by hundreds.

Who else could be so great? ||12||

The "Son of the Moon" is a traditional name for the planet Mercury.

Commentary.— For one who has Mercury in the twelfth house The house of loss and liberation, many poor Brahmins will visit his home. He will experience victory over his enemies in battle. His wealth and resources will be enjoyed even by his enemies.

Thus ends the consideration of Mercury.

|| Now begins the consideration of Jupiter. ||
