यद्येकोऽपि विराजितंशुनिकरः सुस्थानगो वक्रगो नीचस्थोऽपि करोति भूपसदृशं द्वौ व त्रयो वा ग्रहाः । एवं चेज्जनयन्ति भूपतिनमी शस्तांशराशिस्थिता स्तद्वच्चेद्वहवो नृपं समकुटच्छत्रोल्लसच्चामरम् ॥ ३॥
Even a single planet, though in depression, is capable of making the person born a King's equal, provided he be with brilliant rays, retrograde in motion and occupy an auspicious house (i. e., other than the 6 th, 8 th or 12 th). Should there be two or three such planets at a birth, the native will become a King. If there are many such posited in auspicious Rasis or Amsas, they will usher a King endowed with all the insignias of royalty such as a crown, umbrella and waving chowries.
