Phaladeepika
जाते कुमारे सति पूर्वमार्यै रायुर्विचिन्त्यं हि ततः फलानि । विचारणीया गुणिनि स्थितेतद् गुणाः समस्थाः खलु लक्षणज्ञैः ॥ १॥
The first thing that ought to be done by the elders when a son is born is the determining of the longevity or otherwise, and then only of the other effects. If the nativity be found to possess also some merits, they ought to be investigated with the help of persons proficient in the science of Astrology.
