Now, the detailed movements through the twelve houses of death, the names of the Ascendants, and the verses on their results, O Parvati. 3

In the fifth house, one finds knowledge; in the seventh house, a friend original: "mitra"; the 7th house usually represents partners or allies. In those qualities, one is known as a scholar of the scriptures. That is how it is declared. In the eighth house, O Goddess, there is poverty.
Malefics in the houses of increase term: "Upachaya"; these are the 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 11th houses where malefic planets are said to provide growth and strength are best; otherwise, they are condemned. 4 The opposite [is true for benefics].

The twelfth is the same; likewise, the results for the fourth and eighth houses are declared. Regarding the second, fifth, tenth, and eleventh houses, the scholars of this science have explained the results there as being of a different strength and fruit nature. They know the third, sixth, ninth, and seventh as the "leaning" houses term: "Apoklima"; these correspond to the 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th houses in Western astrology, representing a decline in power. At this time, the pillars term: "Kendra"; the 1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th houses, which act as the main supports of a birth chart are auspicious, and the trine houses term: "Trikona"; the 1st, 5th, and 9th houses, considered the most fortunate contain the benefic planets. In house 4

In the tenth and the third, according to what has been illustrated, and in the ninth, fifth, and sixth—O beautiful-faced one!—in the fourth and eighth, O Goddess, diseases caused by malefic influences original: "papa rogah" are declared. All 3

In the seventh house, one should calculate the full results. O Ruler of the Gods, the highest planets do not look upon term: "Drishti"; the "aspect" or gaze of a planet that projects its influence onto other houses the remaining houses. Saturn original: "Arki"; literally "son of the Sun" looks upon the third and tenth houses 1 and bestows results. Jupiter original: "Guru" looks upon the trines the 5th and 9th houses, while Mars original: "Kuja" looks upon the fourth and eighth. All the remaining planets look upon the seventh house from their position. In this very way, O illustrious one,

the method of the zodiac circle original: "Rashi-mandala" has been shown in brief. This has been declared even for the malefic influences, my dear. Those whose minds are confused and whose senses are unbridled, who seek only their own interests through their daily work, fall into envy. But those who are devoted to the service of their Teacher original: "Guru-bhakti", they understand the supreme secret; the rest are merely interested in the literal meaning of the scriptures.

Thus ends the second chapter titled The Ripening of the Form original: "Vigraha Vipaka"; refers to how physical destiny or bodily karma manifests within the sacred Bhuja Patala manual. 2

The Goddess said: O Holy One, Lord of the Gods, whose crest is adorned by the moon, tell me, O Supreme Lord, the knowledge of good and bad actions. O Lord, as I have acted previously, tell me out of your favor, if you are the compassionate one.

The Lord said: Listen, O Goddess, to the supreme knowledge, rare even for the sages. It is the best of all sciences and the giver of liberation. Having a joyful heart after knowing the science of expiations original: "Prayashchitta" mentioned before, and having performed the salutations to the Divine, one should offer the results to the Knower of Time.
