सर्वेषु हीनभागेषु तद्भागं वर्जयेत्सदा I गोष्ठ क्षेत्रं कृषिर्वाऽपि श्रेष्ठराशौ स्थितं शुभम् ॥९६॥
One should always avoid such direction with less dots. (Notes: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius-East; Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn-South; Gemini, Libra and Aquarius-West; Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces-North. The dots in the sign relating to each direction should be separately added and thus we get four groups of totals for the four directions. Additionally, if a benefic posited in any sign of the three relating to that group, there will be more gains. One should attempt to earn livelihood in the direction with more dots and avoid the ones otherwise.) Constitution of a catdeshed, dealing in lands, agriculure etc. if done in a good rasi will prove beneficial.
