केतोरन्तर्गते शुक्रे स्वोच्चे स्वक्षेत्रसंयुते । केन्द्रत्रिकोणलाभे वा राज्यनाथेन संयुते ॥ ७ ॥
राजप्रीतिं च सौभाग्यं दिशेत्स्वाम्बरसंकुलम् । तत्काले श्रियमाप्नोति भाग्यकर्मेशसंयुते ॥ ८ ॥
नष्टराज्यधनप्राप्तिं सुखवाहनमुत्तमम् । सेतुस्नानादिकं चैव देवतादर्शनं महत् ॥ ९ ॥
महाराजप्रसादेन ग्रामभूम्यादिलाभकृत् ॥ ९½ ॥
दायेशात्केन्द्रकोणे वा दुश्चिक्ये लाभगेऽपि वा ॥ १० ॥
देहारोग्यं शुभं चैव गृहे कल्याणशोभनम् । भोजनाम्बरभूषाप्तिरथदोलादिलाभकृत् ॥ ११ ॥
दायेशाद्रिपुरन्ध्रस्थे व्यये वा पापसंयुते । अकस्मात्कलहं चैव पशुधान्यादिपीडनम् ॥ १२ ॥
नीचस्थे खेटसंयुक्ते लग्नात्षष्ठाष्टराशिगे । स्वबन्धुजनवैषम्यं शिरोक्षिव्रणपीडनम् ॥ १३ ॥
हृद्रोगं मानहानिं च धनधान्यपशुक्षयम् । कलत्रपुत्रपीडाया: सञ्चारं च समादिशेत् ॥ १४ ॥
द्वितीयद्यूननाथे तु देहजाड्यं मनोरुजम् । तद्दोषपरिहारार्थं दुर्गादेवीजपं चरेत् । श्वेतां गां महिषीं दद्यादायुरारोग्यवृद्धये ॥ १५ ॥
