Phaladeepika
लग्नादिभावाद्रिपुरन्ध्ररिःफे पापग्रहास्तद्भवनादिनाशम् । सौम्यास्तु नात्यन्तफलप्रदाः स्युर्भवादिकानां फलमेवमाहुः ॥ ४॥
Mal-fics posited in the 6 th, 8 th and 12 th places counted from the Lagna or other Bhava under consideration cause the destruction of the said Bhava, Benefics in such a position are not capable of producing good effects for the Bhava. So say the astrologers with respect to the several Bhavas.
