Śloka 51 — Ṣoḍaśavarga combinations — Śakrasiṃhāsana, Goloka, Śrīvallabha; closing of the varga-bheda list

शक्रसिंहासनं शक्रैर्गोलोकं तिथिभिर्भवेत् । भूपैः श्रीवसभाख्यं स्याद् वर्गाच्छभेदैरुदाहृताः ॥ ५१ ॥

By the Śakras [fourteen] it becomes Śakrasiṃhāsana; by the tithis [fifteen], Goloka; by the kings [sixteen] it is named Śrīva[lla]bha. Thus the varga-distinctions have been set forth.

BPHS Adhyāya 6, śloka 51

Śloka 52 — Which vargas are to be taken as auspicious

स्वोच्चमूलत्रिकोणस्व-भवनाधिपतेस्तथा । स्वारूढात् केन्द्रनाथानां वर्गा ग्राह्याः सुधीमता ॥ ५२ ॥

The vargas of the lord of one's own ucca, of one's mūlatrikoṇa and of one's own bhāvana, and likewise — reckoned from the ārūḍha — the vargas of the lords of the kendras, are to be taken [as favourable] by the discerning.

BPHS Adhyāya 6, śloka 52

Śloka 53 — Which grahas' vargas destroy the yoga

अस्तंगता ग्रहजिता नीचगा दुर्बलास्तथा । शयनादिगता दुःस्था ग्रहाः स्युर्योगनाशकाः ॥ ५३ ॥

Grahas that are combust, defeated [in planetary war] by another graha, gone to nīca, and likewise weak, or fallen into śayana and the other [avasthās], or ill-placed — such grahas are destroyers of the yoga.
