The Fifty-Six Verses

Concerning things lost or journeys abroad pravāsa original: "pravāsa cintā," literally "thought or query regarding living away from home", consider this: if [the planets] in the eighth or seventh house bhava The houses associated with death/transformation and the 'other' or distant places are again retrograde vakrī... 1.

6 If the Sun Ravi and Venus Sita are retrograde in the setting house The 7th house, where the sun sets, or if Jupiter Guru and Mercury Budha are situated in the house of the wife jāyā-sthāna Another term for the 7th house... like the Moon... one should predict for those of various castes... wandering... joined with a malefic pāpa. If in the ninth house from the Ascendant Lagna, joined with planets?...

11 He may be afflicted by disease rogārtaḥ in a foreign land paradeśe, or if [the planet] has gone to the eighth house... ॥॥ Joined with benefics saumya or aspected by a benefic, though situated in a difficult? place... from that land he has gone to another. Such is the query concerning him. 12.

The wealth dravyaṃ is known through the query?; by the time and circumstances, the thief taskara is considered. Based on the time, the direction, the land, and the age, the results are produced just as they are from the Ascendant. 13.

Prosperity! Prosperity! Prosperity!
