Chapter on the Results of the Ascendant (Lagna)

The twelve-fold results in the Ascendant (Lagna):-

Whether in exaltation, in the exaltation Navamsha, in a benefic division, or in debilitation

In a debilitated Navamsha, in the six divisions of a cruel planet, in a friend's sign, or a friend's division

In the Vargottama, in an enemy's sign, in an enemy's division, or in its own sign—these are the twelve states

One should declare the results of the physical body (First House) as spoken by Chyavana

The four lines above are a translation of the Sanskrit verses provided in the OCR: "Svocche svoccha navamshecha..." which outline the twelve environmental conditions of a planet.

Any planet situated in the Ascendant (Lagna) manifests its results based on twelve states: 1. Exalted sign 2. Exalted Navamsha: A 1/9th divisional chart used for fine-tuning planetary strength 3. Benefic division 4. Debilitated sign 5. Debilitated Navamsha 6. The six divisions Shadvarga: Six types of divisional charts of a malefic planet 7. Friendly sign 8. Friendly Navamsha 9. Vargottama: When a planet occupies the same sign in both the main chart and the 1/9th chart, increasing its power 10. Enemy sign 11. Enemy Navamsha 12. Its own sign or its own Navamsha.

This matter is explained according to the teachings of the Sage Chyavana.

Special Note:- The name of Sage Chyavana is mentioned among the eighteen great masters of Astrology Jyotisha Shastra. However, currently, the verses from his texts are primarily found within Sanskrit commentaries such as the Brihat Daivajna Ranjana and others. In the Narada Samhita, Chyavana's name is cited as one of the eighteen propagators of astrology. In this verse, Sage Kashyapa conveys the results of planets in the Ascendant according to Chyavana's words. From this, we can understand the high status Chyavana holds in the field of astrology.
