Śloka 1 — Maitreya's question — how are women's nativities read?

श्रुतं भगवता प्रोक्तं पुंसां जातकजं फलम् । नारीणामथ कथं वेद्यमेतद् ब्रवीहि मे ॥ १ ॥

[Maitreya said:] I have heard the birth-results of men as declared by you, O Bhagavan. Now, how are those of women to be known? Tell me this.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 1

Śloka 2 — Parāśara's reply — women's results are as for men

प्रश्नोऽयं वत्स ! ते साधुर्ब्रवीमि शृणु तन्मनाः । पुंवत् स्त्रीणामपि फलं वेद्यमुक्तं महर्षिभिः ॥ २ ॥

[Parāśara said:] This question of yours is a good one, dear child; I shall speak — listen with your mind fixed on it. The maharṣis have said that the results for women too are to be known just as for men.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 2

Śloka 3 — Which bhāvas to judge — lagna for body, fifth for offspring

विशेषः सम्भवेद् यस्तु शृणुष्व तमपि द्विज ! । लग्नात्तनोः पञ्चमात्तु प्रसूतेः स्याद् विचारणा ॥ ३ ॥

But hear also, O twice-born one, whatever special points arise. From the lagna the consideration of the body should be made, and from the fifth that of childbearing.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 3

Śloka 4 — Seventh for husband, eighth for widowhood; male-only results shift to the husband

पत्युः कलत्रतो रन्ध्राद् वैधव्यस्य द्विजोत्तम ! । असंगतं कलत्रेषु पत्यौ तत्फलमीरयेत् ॥ ४ ॥

From the seventh (kalatra) [judge] the husband, and from the eighth (randhra) widowhood, O best of the twice-born. Whatever result is inapplicable to a woman should be declared of her husband.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 4

Śloka 5 — Lagna and Moon in even rāśis — feminine nature

समराशौ लग्नचन्द्रौ यदि, सा प्रकृतिं गता । शीलसल्लक्षणोपेता स्वानुरूपगुणान्विता ॥ ५ ॥

If the lagna and the Moon are in even rāśis, she is settled in her own nature — endowed with good character and auspicious marks, and possessed of qualities befitting herself.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 5

Śloka 6 — Benefic aspect vs odd rāśis and malefic aspect

सद्दृष्टौ सुभगा नारी स्वास्थ्यसौख्यसमन्विता । ओजे पुमाकृतिः शील-हीना संवीक्षितौ खलैः ॥ ६ ॥

When those two are aspected by benefics, the woman is fortunate, healthy and happy. In odd (oja) rāśis she has a masculine form; and when the two are aspected by malefics she is devoid of good character.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 6

Śloka 7 — Malefic conjunction; mixed influence; take the stronger of lagna and Moon

सपापौ चेद् दुर्गुणा सा सदसद्भ्यां शुभाशुभम् । चन्द्रलग्नयोस्तु बलिनः फलं सर्वांशतो भवेत् ॥ ७ ॥

If the two are joined by malefics she is of bad qualities; with both benefics and malefics the result is good and bad mixed. But the result should be taken in its entirety from whichever of the Moon and the lagna is the stronger.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 7

Śloka 8 — Judge from the rāśi and triṃśāṃśa of the stronger of lagna and Moon

प्रबलो योऽङ्गशशिनो-स्तदधिष्ठितराशितः । त्रिंशांशतो वा विबुधै-र्नारीणां फलमीरितम् ॥ ८ ॥

Whichever of the lagna (aṅga) and the Moon is the stronger — from the rāśi it occupies, or from its triṃśāṃśa, the learned have declared the results of women.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 8

Śloka 9 — Stronger of lagna/Moon in a Mars rāśi — by triṃśāṃśa lord

बली तयोः कुजगृहे त्रिंशांशे च दुरङ्गना । भार्गवे दुश्चरित्रा सा बौधे मायाविनी मता ॥ ९ ॥

If the stronger of the two is in a house of Mars and in the triṃśāṃśa of Mars, she is a woman of ill conduct; in that of Venus she is of bad character; in that of Mercury she is held to be deceitful.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 9

Śloka 10 — Mars rāśi continued (Saturn, Jupiter aṃśas); then Mercury's rāśi

मान्दे चेटी सती जैवे, विद्धे कौजे च सच्छला । भार्गवे कामुकी प्रोक्ता विदोंऽशे सगुणा स्मृता ॥ १० ॥

In Saturn's triṃśāṃśa she is a maidservant; in Jupiter's, chaste. In Mercury's [rāśi], in Mars's [aṃśa], she is given to deceit; in Venus's she is called lustful; in Mercury's aṃśa she is remembered as endowed with good qualities.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 10

Śloka 11 — Mercury rāśi (Saturn, Jupiter aṃśas); then Venus's rāśi

शन्यंशे क्लीबतायुक्ता साध्वी जैवेऽपि काव्यभे । कुजांशे दुश्चरित्रा सा भार्गवे गुणविश्रुता ॥ ११ ॥

In Saturn's aṃśa she is afflicted with sexlessness (klībatā); in Jupiter's, virtuous. And in a Venus rāśi (kāvyabha): in Mars's aṃśa she is of bad conduct, in Venus's she is renowned for her qualities.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 11

Śloka 12 — Venus rāśi continued; then the Moon's rāśi (Cancer)

विदोंऽशे सत्कलोपेता सगुणा गौरवे मता । मन्दांशे दीधिषूश्चान्द्रे-भे स्वतन्त्रा कुजांशके ॥ १२ ॥

In Mercury's aṃśa she is endowed with the fine arts; in Jupiter's she is deemed virtuous; in Saturn's aṃśa she is a dīdhiṣū (a woman married a second time). In the Moon's rāśi, in Mars's aṃśa, she is independent.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 12

Śloka 13 — Moon's rāśi (Cancer) — remaining aṃśa lords

काव्ये तु कुलटा शिल्प-कलादक्षा विदोंऽशके । गौरवेऽतिगुणा मान्दे त्रिंशांशे पतिघातिनी ॥ १३ ॥

In Venus's [aṃśa] she is wanton; in Mercury's aṃśa skilled in crafts and arts; in Jupiter's exceedingly virtuous; and in Saturn's triṃśāṃśa a destroyer of her husband.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 13

Śloka 14 — Sun's rāśi (Leo) — by triṃśāṃśa lord

सूर्यर्क्षेऽपि कुजांशे तु वाचाटांऽशे भृगोः सती । ज्ञांशे पुमाकृती राज्ञी जैवे, भ्रष्टार्कजांशके ॥ १४ ॥

In the Sun's rāśi also: in Mars's aṃśa she is a chatterer; in Venus's aṃśa chaste; in Mercury's aṃśa of masculine form; in Jupiter's a queen; and in Saturn's aṃśa fallen.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 14

Śloka 15 — Jupiter's rāśis (Sagittarius, Pisces) — by triṃśāṃśa lord

कुजांशे जीवभे भूरि-गुणा शुक्रे तु पुंश्चली । विज्ञानज्ञा विदोंऽशे तु गौरवेऽतिगुणान्विता ॥ १५ ॥

In Jupiter's rāśi: in Mars's aṃśa she is of abundant good qualities; in Venus's, unchaste; in Mercury's aṃśa a knower of the sciences; in Jupiter's endowed with exceeding qualities.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 15

Śloka 16 — Jupiter's rāśi (Saturn aṃśa); then Saturn's rāśis

शन्यंशे स्तोकसुरता चेटी भौमेऽपि मन्दभे । विदुषी तु सितस्यांशे ज्ञांशे पापाऽपि नीचगा ॥ १६ ॥

In Saturn's aṃśa she has little appetite for intercourse. In Saturn's rāśi, in Mars's [aṃśa] too, she is a maidservant; in Venus's aṃśa learned; in Mercury's aṃśa sinful and consorting with low men.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 16

Śloka 17 — Saturn's rāśi concluded; then the empty, unaspected seventh

गौरवे तु सती मन्द-त्रिंशांशे नीचगामिनी । निर्ग्रहे सप्तमे सौम्या-दृष्टे कुपुरुषः पतिः ॥ १७ ॥

In Jupiter's [aṃśa] she is chaste; in Saturn's triṃśāṃśa she goes with low men. If the seventh has no graha in it and is not aspected by benefics, the husband is a bad man.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 17

Śloka 18 — Movable seventh; Saturn+Mercury there; Sun or Mars in the seventh

विदेशवासी चरभे षण्डस्तत्रार्किसौम्ययोः । पत्या त्यक्ता मदेऽर्के तु विधवाऽऽरे तु शैशवे ॥ १८ ॥

If the seventh is a movable rāśi, [the husband] dwells abroad; if Saturn and Mercury are there, he is impotent (ṣaṇḍa). With the Sun in the seventh she is abandoned by her husband; with Mars, she is a widow in childhood.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 18

Śloka 19 — Saturn in the seventh aspected by malefics; benefics vs malefics there

पापेक्षितेऽर्कजे कन्या-ऽनूढा वृद्धत्वमाप्नुयात् । सद्भिस्तद्गतैः साध्वी विधवा स्यादसद्ग्रहैः ॥ १९ ॥

If Saturn [is in the seventh] aspected by malefics, the girl reaches old age unmarried. With benefics placed there she is virtuous [and her husband lives]; with malefics she becomes a widow.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 19

Śloka 20 — Mixed grahas in the seventh; Venus–Mars mutual navāṃśa exchange

मिश्रग्रहैर्द्विरूढा सा शुभाशुभफलैर्युता । अन्योऽन्यांशगतौ शुक्रकुजौ चेत् परगामिनी ॥ २० ॥

With mixed grahas [in the seventh] she is twice wedded, having both auspicious and inauspicious results. If Venus and Mars occupy each other's aṃśas, she goes to other men.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 20

Śloka 21 — Moon in the seventh in that yoga; Venus+Moon in a Venus/Saturn lagna

चन्द्रे मदगते तत्र परगा पत्युराज्ञया । सितर्क्षे मन्दभे वापि ससितेन्दौ तनौ गते ॥ २१ ॥

In that same yoga, with the Moon in the seventh, she goes to other men by her husband's own command. And when the lagna is in a rāśi of Venus or of Saturn, with Venus and the Moon placed in it —

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 21

Śloka 22 — Result of that lagna combination; Mars rāśi/aṃśa in the seventh

तदाङ्गना पांशुला स्याज्जनन्या सह निश्चितम् । मदे कुजांशे वा तद्भे भर्ता क्रोधी च लम्पटः ॥ २२ ॥

— then that woman is certainly unchaste (pāṃśulā), and so together with her mother. If in the seventh (mada = 7th bhāva) there is Mars's navāṃśa, or else his rāśi, her husband is wrathful and lecherous.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 22

Śloka 23 — Mercury's or Jupiter's rāśi/aṃśa in the seventh — the husband

विदो भे वा तदंशे तु सत्कलावित् सुपण्डितः । गौरवेऽनेकगुणवान् मदे स्यात् संयतेन्द्रियः ॥ २३ ॥

In Mercury's rāśi or his aṃśa [in the seventh], the husband knows the fine arts and is very learned. With Jupiter's in the seventh he is of many virtues and has his senses under control.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 23

Śloka 24 — Venus's or Saturn's rāśi/aṃśa in the seventh — the husband

भार्गवे भाग्यवान् भर्ता सुरूपः कामिनीप्रियः । मन्दस्य भे तदंशे वा मदे मूढो जरातुरः ॥ २४ ॥

In Venus's, the husband is fortunate, handsome and dear to women. In Saturn's rāśi or his aṃśa in the seventh, he is dull-witted and afflicted by old age.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 24

Śloka 25 — Leo or Cancer rāśi/aṃśa in the seventh — the husband

सिंहांशेऽतिकठोरः स्यात् तद्भे वा बहुकार्यकृत् । चान्द्रे भेंऽशे मदे भर्ता सुरूपः कामुको मृदुः ॥ २५ ॥

In the aṃśa of Leo, or in that rāśi, he is exceedingly harsh and a doer of much work. In the Moon's rāśi or aṃśa in the seventh, the husband is handsome, amorous and gentle.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 25

Śloka 26 — Mixed rāśi/aṃśa; the Sun in the eighth

सखेदा विक्षताङ्गी च धर्मतो विमुखी सदा । अष्टमस्थे तु शशिनि कुत्सितकुचभगान्विता ॥ २७ ॥

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 28

निष्प्रभा दुःखसन्ताप-शोकिता विधवा मता । अष्टमस्थे विदि तु सा भयत्रस्ता कलिप्रिया ॥ २९ ॥

धनधर्माभिमानैश्च रहिता गुणवर्जिता । जीवेऽष्टमगते नारी शीलहीनाऽल्पसन्ततिः ॥ ३० ॥

पतित्यक्ता स्थूलपाद-शया प्रचुरभोजना । अष्टमस्थे सिते मत्ता निर्धना मलिना तथा ॥ ३१ ॥

छलिनी निष्ठुरा धर्म-रहिता सा स्मृता बुधैः । मन्देऽष्टमगते बाला मलिना वञ्चनापरा ॥ ३२ ॥

दुःस्वभाववती स्वामि-सौख्यहीना प्रजायते । अगावष्टमगे नारी क्रूरहृद्रोगिणी तथा ॥ ३३ ॥

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 33

Śloka 34 — Rāhu in the eighth concluded; barrenness combination — Venus and Moon in lagna

पतित्यक्तापि कुलटा विरूपाऽपि च जायते । सितेन्दू लग्नगौ सौरि-भौमाभ्यां संयुतौ तथा ॥ ३४ ॥

— she is also abandoned by her husband, wanton, and ill-formed. If Venus and the Moon are in the lagna joined with Saturn and Mars,

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 34

Śloka 35 — Vandhyā (barrenness) yoga and its remedy

पापेक्षितयुतं पञ्चमं वन्ध्या तर्हि सा मता । शिवस्नपनतो विष्णुकीर्तनाद्धा ससन्ततिः ॥ ३५ ॥

— and the fifth is aspected by or joined with malefics, then she is held to be barren. But through the bathing (abhiṣeka) of Śiva or through the kīrtana of Viṣṇu she may indeed become possessed of offspring.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 35

Śloka 36 — Durbhagā / subhagā by the aṃśa in the seventh

पापांशे सप्तमगते दुर्भगा मन्दवीक्षिते । सदंशे तत्र सा स्वामि-प्रियाऽपि सुभगा मता ॥ ३६ ॥

When the seventh holds a malefic's aṃśa and is aspected by Saturn, she is unfortunate. When a benefic's aṃśa is there, she is dear to her husband and deemed fortunate.

विदो भे तनौ जन्मकाले सितेन्दुसहिते तदा । गेहे पितुः सर्वसौख्य-परिपूर्णा तु सा भवेत् ॥ ३७ ॥

If at the time of birth the lagna is in a rāśi of Mercury together with Venus and the Moon, then she is filled with every kind of happiness in her father's house.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 37

Śloka 38 — Benefics in the lagna — happiness, sons and wealth

सितेन्दुज्ञास्तनुगता भूरिसौख्यगुणप्रदाः । गुरुस्तत्र गतः पुत्र-धनमौख्यसमृद्धिकृत् ॥ ३८ ॥

तनो रन्ध्रगतौ सूर्य-चन्द्रौ निजगृहस्थितौ । वन्ध्या बालाऽथ सा काक-वन्ध्या ज्ञेन्दू तथा यदि ॥ ३९ ॥

If the Sun and the Moon are in the eighth from the lagna and stand in their own houses, the girl is barren; and if Mercury and the Moon are so placed, she is a kāka-vandhyā (bearing but one child).

When the fifth also holds malefics, and either the Sun accompanied by Rāhu is in the seventh, or Venus, Jupiter and Rāhu are in the eighth (mṛta) — then indeed her children die.

A woman born on a bhadrā tithi, on the day of Mars, of the Sun or of Saturn, and in the nakṣatra of the serpent (Āśleṣā), of Varuṇa (Śatabhiṣā) or of Agni (Kṛttikā), is named viṣa[-kanyā] and assuredly partakes of evil results.

BPHS Adhyāya 80, śloka 49

Śloka 50 — Cancellation of the widowhood yoga by matching charts

स्त्रीणां वैधव्यदो योगः पुंसां जन्मनि चेद् भवेत् । तदा पत्नीविनाशः स्या-दुभयोश्चेच्छुभं स्मृतम् ॥ ५० ॥

If the yoga that gives widowhood to women occurs in a man's nativity, then destruction of the wife results. But if it is present in both charts, it is held to be auspicious.

Śloka 51 — Saturn–Venus mutual navāṃśa, or Aquarius navāṃśa in a Venus lagna

सपापः सप्तमश्चैवं नवमोऽपि च सग्रहः । तदा प्रव्रजिता नारी पापभुक्तौ विशेषतः ॥ ५४ ॥

Śloka 55 — Death together with the husband

शुभाशुभावष्टमस्थावपि तौ तुल्यविक्रमौ । पत्या समं मृतिं प्राप्य नारी याति सुरालयम् ॥ ५५ ॥
