सङ्कीर्णाः स्युर्न नृपा दशासु तेषां भवन्ति सुखभाजः । रिपुगृहनीचौच्चच्युतसत्पापनिरीक्षणैर्भेदाः ॥ ६९-०६ ॥

Men who are born with mixed characteristics can not hope to become Kings, but they will lead a happy life in the major periods (Daśās) of the Yoga-producing planets. These differences (between the Excellent and Mixed types) occur as a result of the concerned planets (among the five non-luminaries) being aspected by benefits occupying inimical signs or debilitation ones or being fallen from exaltation, or by malefics.
