अथ ब्रवीमि ते लाभभावजातं फलं मुने । यच्छुभाशुभजिज्ञासा नृणां स्वाभाविकी मता ॥ १ ॥

Now, O Muni [Maitreya], I shall declare to you the results born of the lābha bhāva (the eleventh) — for the wish to know what is auspicious and inauspicious [regarding gains] is held to be natural among men.

When the lord of the lābha (11th) bhāva stands in the 11th itself, or in a kendra or a trikoṇa, or is in ucca (exaltation) — even if, being exalted, it has gone within the degrees of the Sun (i.e. is combust) — then it produces abundant gains.
