         PHALADEEPIKA OF MANTHRESWARA
                         CHAPTER XII – द्वादशोऽध्यायः
                                                            पुत्रचिन्ता

“  ll  सुस्था विलग्नशशिनोःसुतमेशजीवाः

1. The Native will definitely have children if the planetary dispositions are as listed below:-
     
    (a)  If GURU and Lords of 5th House and MOON with reference to the ascendant are in    
     Good positions and also aspected by benefic planets or in an auspicious sign i.e. other   
     Than 6th 8th or 12th Signs from the Ascendant.  Or (b) When the Lord of ascendant and  
     The Lord of the 5th Hose are placed together in a Sign or aspected by mutually benefic    
     Planets interchange positions among themselves.

“  ll  ग्नामरेज्ञ्चशशिनां सुतभेषु पापैर्युक्तेक्षितेष्वथ शुभैरयुतेक्षितेषु  l
        पापोभयेषु सुतभेषु सुतेश्र्वरेषु दुस्थानगेषु न भवन्ति सुताः कथंचित् ll  “..............२.

2.    From the Ascendant, if the 5th House is occupied by CHANDRA or GURU which are associated by MALEFICS and or aspected by malefics and not aspected or associated by benefics and when these houses are in between 12th and 2nd Houses and the Lords of the above houses are in 6th , 8th or 12th houses the person concerned will not have any children.

“  ll  पापे स्वर्क्षगते सुते तनयभाक् तस्मिन् सपापे पुनः

        तद्राशौ सुतभावगेऽल्पसुतवान् कालान्तरे साध्यति  ll  “................३.

3.    When the owner of the HOUSE is a malefic and remains in the 5th House itself which is owned by the planet, the Native will have children. When any malefics remain in the house the Native will have Male children in plenty. If benefic planet is the owner of the 5th House and remains in it or the Planet remains in its exaltation house the native will lose children. When the 5th House happens to be in in childless Signs which are SCORPIO, VIRGO and LEO (वृशिक, कन्या अथवा सिंह), the native is destined to have only few children which will be after prolonged time.

“  ll  सूर्ये चाल्पसुतर्क्षगे निधनागे मन्दे कुजे लग्नगे
        लग्नाष्टव्ययगैः शनीज्ञ्यरुधिरैश्चाल्पात्मजर्क्षे सुते  l
        चन्द्रे लाभगते गुरुस्थितसुतस्थाने सपापे भवे –
        लग्नेऽनेकखगान्विते तनयभाक्कालान्तरे यत्रतः  ll  “.............४.

4. The native will have very few children after lapse of lot of time under the following circumstances :-

     (i) When the SUN in the 5th House identical with Childless sign and the Saturn in 8TH house and KUJA    
          (MARS) along with ASCENDANT.(कुजे लग्नगे);
     (ii) When SATURN, JUPITER AND MARS are in LAGANA, 8th and the 12 the HOUSES respectively and the   
          5th House is in a childless sign;
    (iii) If MOON occupies the 11th HOUSE and the 5th House from GURU is occupied by a MALEFIC and if
          there are many planets stationed with the ASCENDANT.

“  ll  सूर्ये नाल्ययुते सुतर्क्षसहिते चान्द्रस्य गेहे स्थिते
        भौमे वा भृगुजेऽपि वा सति सुतप्राप्तिं द्वितीयस्त्रीयाम् l

        देवेज्ञ्ये बहुदारिका शशिगृहे तद्वात्सुताधिष्ठिते  ll  “…………

5.    If Ravi is in the 5th House which is CANCER and if no other planet remains in 5th House, it is possible that the native will have children through 2nd Wife, provided the 5th House is CANCER.  If KUJA or SHUKRA is positioned in the same way then also this possibility cannot be ruled out. If SANI is positioned in the same way, lot of children will be born to the Native. If Chandra or Budha is placed in the same way the Native will be blessed with few children,  If JUPITER is in the 5th House which is CANCER (कटक) the Native will be the father of lot of female children.

        सुते शशिनि नैधनव्ययतनुस्थपापैरपि  ll “...........६

6 The under-mentioned planetary combinations will lead to the extinction of the family:

      (i)  If a malefic positions in the 4th HOUSE, SHUKRA in 7th HOUSE, and 10th be occupied by CHANDRA;
     (ii)  If Malefics occupy LAGNA, 5th, 8th and 12th HOUSE;
   (iii)   If BUDHA and SHUKRA remain in the 7th HOUSE, GURU in 5th House, and PAAPA GRAHA(s) in the 4th House;
   (iv)   When CHANDRA remains in the 5th HOUSE and KROORA GRAHAS with Ascendant,8th House and 12th Houses.

“  ll  पापे लग्ने लग्नपे पुत्रसंस्थे दिशेऽवीर्ये वेश्मनिन्दावुपुत्रः  l
        ओजर्क्षेशे पुत्रगे सूर्यदृष्टे चान्द्रे प्त्रक्लेशभाक् स्यादसूनुः  ll  “..............७.

7.    If MALEFICS (क्रूर ग्रह) remain in LAGNA , or the 5th HOUSE is the House of ASCENDANT or the Lord of 5th House is placed in the 3rd House and CHANDRA is in ODD SIGN (ओज राशि) or Amsa in the 5th HOUSE aspected by RAVI.
( Herein, I like to state that some pundits in astrology  are of the view that the 1st , 4th, 7th and 10th are RAASIS (SIGNS) while others take them as BHAVAS.  While MARSHI PARASARA follows RAASI THEORY BALABHADRA the author of HORA RATHNA SAMGRAHA follow BHAVA THEORY.  However we follow MAHARSHI PARAASARA’S THEORY ) . 

“  ll  मन्दें सुतर्क्षे यदि वाऽथभौधं मन्द्यर्कपुत्रान्वितवीक्षितं चेत्  l
        दत्तात्मजःस्यादूदयास्तनाथसंबन्धहीनो विबलः सुतेशः  ll  “................८. 

8.    When the 5th House is owned by SHANI or BUDHA and associated or aspected by MANDHI or MANDHA the native will adopt a son ( In other words he will not have a son. ).  A weak Lord of the 5th House who is not connected in whatsoever manner with the Lords of the Ascendant and the 7th House will also produce the same result.

“  ll  नीचारिमूढोपगते सुतेशे रिःफारिरन्ध्राधिपसंयुते वा  l
          सुतस्य नाशः कथितोऽत्रतज्ज्ञैः षुभैरदृष्टे सुतभे सुतेशे  ll  “...............९.

9.      If the Lord of the 5th House is in the RASI of its debilitation or in an enemies’ House or eclipsed     
         Or with one of the lords of 6th, 8th or 12th House , the Native will lose his children.
         If 5th House is not aspected by any benefic planet, then also the Native will suffer loss of children.

“  ll  सुतनाथजीवकुजभास्करेषु वै पुरुषांशकेषु च गतेषु कुत्रचित्  l
        मुनयो वदन्ति बहुपुत्रतां तदा सुतनाथवीर्यवशतः सुपुत्रताम्  ll  “...............१०.

10.  If in the Male’s Navamsa , if Lord of 5th HOUSE, GURU. KUJA and RAVI are posited any where he will be blessed with Male Children.  This is said by the sages.  However the Nature of the SONS (Whether GOOD OR BAD) will depend on the strength of the 5th HOUSE.    

“  ll  पुंराश्यंशेऽधीश्वरे पुंग्रहेन्द्रैर्युक्ते  दृष्टे पुंग्रहे पुंप्रसूतिः  l
        स्त्रीराश्यंशे स्त्रीग्रहैर्युक्तदृष्टे स्त्रीणां जन्म स्यास्तुतर्क्षे सुतेशे  ll  “...............११.

11.   If the 5th HOUSE  or its LORD is in MALE SIGN or NAVAAMSA, or associated with or aspected or associated by male planets ( Note : नराकारा भानुक्षितिज गुरवश्शुक्रशशिनौ वधूरूपो षण्धप्रकृतिपुरुषौ मन्दशशिजौ.......जातकपारिजातं “MEANING : AS PER JATHAKA PAARIJAATHA RAVI, KUJA AND GURU are MALE PLANETS, CHANDRA AND SHUKRA are FEMALE PLANETS, BUDHA AND SHANI are EUNUCHS. (This is also  given in Dr. B.V Raman’s “A MANNUAL OF HINDU ASTROLOGY”) the Native will have only MALE CHILDREN if aspected by or associated with Male Planets, if by both Male and Female planets then will have Male and Female Children, and if associated with or aspected by only Female Planets will have only Female children.

“  ll बलयुक्तौ स्वगृहांशेष्पर्कसितावपचयर्क्षगो पुंसाम्  l
       स्त्रीणां वा कुजचन्द्रौ यदा तदा संभवति गर्भः  ll  “................१२.  

Friends: BEFORE I GIVE THE TRANSLATION OF THE ABOVE LINES, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IN CERTAIN SANSKRIT BOOKS, I HAVE SEEN as “सितरुपचय” instead of “ सितरपचय”.  However since I feel it is APACHAYAI have treanslated it as APACHAYA RAASIS SINCE UPACHAYA RAASIS ARE 3,6, 10 and 11 and APACHAYA RAASIS ARE 1,2,4, 7 , 8. and 9th RAASIS . I REQEST  READERS TO GET CLARIFICATION FROM VEDIC ASTROLOGICAL PUNDITS as to the authenticity.

12.   Females generally concieve when in the case of MALES, RAVI AND SHUKRA and in the case of FEMALES, KUJA AND CHANDRA are having adequate strength and pass through their signs or Navamsas identical with APACHAYA HOUSE.

 “  ll  अस्त्रुनीचारिनवंशकैः सुते सुतेशायुक्तैरपि तैस्तथाविधैः
    सुतर्क्षगैर्वा गुरुभादिनांशकात्सुते फलैः पुत्रामितिविचिन्त्यते  ll  “..............१३.

13.   How many off springs will be born is to be ascertained after consideration of the total planets in the 5th HOUSE or with the Lord of 5th HOUSE after finding out how many planets are in inimical NAVAMSAS,or how many are not inimical or debilitated planets. This is also be ascertained by from the 5th House or its LORD reckoned from the sign occupied by  GURU or the NAVAMSHA occupied by RAVI.
“  ll  जीवेन्दुक्षितिजस्फुटैक्यभवने युग्मे च युग्मांशके
        स्त्रीणाम क्षेत्रबलं वदन्ति सुतदं मिश्रे प्रयासात्फलम्  l
        भास्वच्छुक्रगुरुस्फुटैक्यभवनेप्योजांशकेऽप्योजभे
        पुंसांबीजबलं सुतप्रदमिमं मिश्रेतु  मिश्रं भवत्  ll  “............१४.

14.    Add the Longitudes passed by CHANDRA, GURU AND KUJA.  If the result comes in YUGMA RAASI (EVEN SIGN) and EVEN NAVAMSA (युग्मे च युग्मांशके) , the fruitfulness of fertility in the female for producing child is assured.  If the SIGN is EVEN SIGN (युग्म राशि)  and the NAVAMSA falls in ODD SIGN (ओजराशि) or vice-versa.the production of child by the female will be after great effort. ( प्रयासात्फलं)

If sum total of the LONGITUDES of RAVI., SHUKRA and GURU are showing the odd sign(ओज राशि) and Odd NAVAMSA,  it indicates the strength and physical capacity of the male to produce children.( पुंस भीज बलं ).  In case The SIGN AND NAVAMMSA are in different there will be mixed result. 

(Note :- In case in the Female Nativity the SUMTOTAL shows in odd sign and the male’ s  vice-versa, they may not be able to produce any children. rather there is a very remote chance that the female will bear children.)

                              “  ll  सन्तानतिथि स्फुटम्  ll  “

“  ll  पञ्चाघ्नाच्छशिनःस्फुटादिषुहतं भानुस्फुटं शोधये –
        त्रित्वा तत्र  तिथिं सिते शुभतिथौ पुत्रोऽसत्याययत्नादपि  l
        कृष्णे नास्ति  सूतस्तिथेर्बलवशाद्ब्रूयाद्वंयोः पक्षयोः
        दशै च्छिद्रतिथौ च विष्टिकरणे न स्यात् स्थिराख्ये सुतः  ll  “..............१५

15.   Subtract from the Longitude after getting the sum from 5 Times of the SUN from the 5times of Longitude of the BRIGHT HALF OF MOON (शुक्ल पक्षं) - (पञ्जाघ्न स्फुटं).  if we get a good THITHHI (तिथि) which is represented by the resultant in the SHUKLAPAKSHA then the native will succeed in getting a son.
However, if the result falls in KRISHNA PAKSHA  the effect will be negative. We must ascertain from a minute examination if the result falls on SHUKLA PAKSHA or KRISHNA PAKSHA. Please note that that the native will not be successful in getting issues if he tries during AMAAVASYA and Chidra Thithhis which are  CHATURTHHY, SHASHTI, ASHTAMI, NAVAMI, DASHAMI AND CHATHURDASHI.  (  These  THITHHIS     are
also considered generally as inauspicious thithhis for any Auspicious Work or Karmas ).    Regarding KARANAS in which the male should not attempt to get a Male child are all the STHIRA KARANAS and VISHTI KARANA.

The 30 THITHHI of a Lunar Month have 2 KARANAS each.They cover 2 halves of the THITHI MAANA.  The first Karana ends at the middle time of the THITHHI and the Second ends with the ending of the THITHHI.   They are (1) Bava (2) Baalava  (3)  Kaulava  (4) Thaithila, (5) Gara (6) Vanija  (7)  Vishti (Bhadra) (8)  Shakuni  (9) Chathushpada  (10) Naaga  (11) Kintughna.  Out of these last FOUR are called STHIRA KARANAS and the balance 7 KARANAS are called CHARA KARANAS. i.e.IMMOVABLE AND MOVABLE KARANAS respectively.

Friends, although this is not required now but the YOGAS are important and hence I am giving them herein (1) VISHKUMBHA (2) PREETI  (3)  AAYUSHMAAN  (4)  SAUBHAAGYA  (5)  SHOBHANA  (6)  ATHIGANDHA  (7)  SUKARMA  (8)  DHRUTHI  (9)  SHOOLA  (10) GANDA(11)  VRIDHI  (12)  DHRUVA  (13)  VYAGHATA  (14) HARSHANA (15)  VAJRA  (16) SIDDHI  (17) VYTHIPAATHA  (18)  VARIYAAN  (19) PARIGHA  (20) SHIVA  (21)  SIDDHA  (22)  SAADYA  (23)  SHUBHA  (24)  SHUKLA or SHUKRA  (25) BRAHMA  (26) INDRA  and (27) VAIDHRUTHI.

                                                      REMEDIAL MEASURES

There are many remedial measures for every thing in ASTROLOGY although I do not vouch for them. 
MANTHRESWARA gives herein few remidial measures which I do not recommend, personally.However any KARMA to appease GOD and DEAD ANCESTORS IS GENERALLY considered as GOOD.

16 – 18. In Stanzas 16 to 18 Manthreswara gives certain measures for the above given CHHIDRA THITHIS, VISHTI KARANA AND STHIRAKARANAS. Although, chanting daily पुरुष सूक्त, श्रीसूक्त, दुर्घासूक्त are good. Manthreswara says by chanting PURUSHA SOOKTHA to invoke the blessing of Lord Krishna will ward off the barrenness of the family, due to VISHTI KARANA and STHIRA KARANA. For the barrenness due to SHASHTI ,
He says to pray to LORD SUBRAHMANIA. i.e. reciting Skanda Shashti Kavacha etc.  If it is because of CHATHURTHI , as per MANTHRESWARA , the family should invoke the blessing of NAGA RAJA (Serpent God)  by offering milk tc after due prayers. If it is ASHTAMI DAY then, Manthreswara says the person should observe SRAVANA VRATHA by observing FAST. If the barrenness is due to NAVAMI THITHI, as per Manthreswara , the family should listen RAMAYANA SLOKAS being recited.   If the day falls on CHATHURDASHI, Manthreswara recommends RUDRA POOJA ( SHIVA POOJA ).  If the days falls on DWADASHI THITHI, the person sould by  feeding liberally and propitiate GOD. If the day falls on AMAVASYA OR POURNAMI, as per Manthreswara the person should perform SRADHA (पितरमुद्धिश्श्य श्राद्ध). If the day falls after  DASAMI of the dark half of the month till should appease LORD NAGARAJA and LORD SUBRAMANYA.and LORD NARAYANA as per three divisions of the THITHIS respectively. Friends, although I have given this, I believe in SWETHASWATHAARA UPANISHAD where it is written GOD is “ साक्षी चेतो केवलो निर्गुनस्च”.  Since, GOD is NRGUNA BRAHMAM, there is no point in asking boons from him except praying which is always GOOD. In this case I differ from the theory of HH. RAMANUJA who says GOD is SAGUNA (सगुण ब्रह्मम्).

19.  If Lord of the 5th House is in the inimical sign or in its sign of debilitation or combust or in the 6th, 8th or 12th House , the native will not be able to have a child.  It is said by Manthreswara that the consequence of childlessness is certain and hence the person should find the divine source by checking the deity, tree or animal represented by the SIGN occupied by the PLANET.

20-22.  If Planet SUN (रवि) is causing the obstacle then the cause of childlessness is due to disrespect shown to LORD SHIVA and EAGLE GOD called GARUDA which is caused by the curse of our dead ancestors. If the Planet obstructing is the MOON (चन्द्र) , then it is because of the anger of the mother or a chaste lady who has her husband alive (सुमङ्गली) or any venerable lady whose feelings are hurt. If the planet is MARS (कुज), it must be because of anger of the Village Deity ,( स्वग्रामस्थितागुहारिपुज्ञात्युत्थदोषात्कुजे), to Lord Subrahmanya, enemies, or relatives (ദായാദികള്‍ , தாயாதிகள்); In case PLANET MERCURY (बुध) is the cause of Childlessness, it is because of troubling youngers, destroying the eggs of fishes or similar creatures or due to the anger of LORD VISHNU. If the positioning of Lord of 5th  House is in the house of PLANET JUPITER (गुरु), it will be because of some trouble given by you to the hereditary priest or his family, or because of destruction of any fruit bearing tree which is full of fruits; If the childlessness  is due to  the Lord of the 5th House remaining in the house of VENUS (शुक्र) then the reason of childlessness will be due to destroying any flower bearing tree full of flowers, or die to any harm done to a virtuous lady,  or to a cow or deer or such animal or due to harm done to virtuous people who are revered by all; and if the trouble is by positioning of the lord of 5th house in MAKARA OR KUMBHA the Houses of SATURN, the person might have destroyed a banyan or peepal tree known also as ASVATTHA (अस्वत्था वृक्ष) which is our National Tree or due to the anger of GOD OF DEATH(यम)  or ghosts (departed souls) or spirits or like them. If the cause is due to the Lord of 5th House occupying the House of RAHU 0r DRAGGON’HEAD or associated with RAHU , it should be due to the curse of a snake or serpent. If it is due to the association of the 5th House lord with KETHU(DRAGGON’S TAIL) , then it should have happened due to the curse of a Brahmin.  In case the association of the Lord of the 5th House is with MAANDI, then it will be due to the curse of departed soul. If SUKRA, CHANDRA and MANDI are associated with the Lord of the 5th House then attribute the cause to the killing of a dame or a cow.  If GURU, KETHU and MANDI are associated with the 5th House prediction is for childlessness, the murder of BRAHMIN.  
IN THE LAST QUARTER OF 20TH VERSE THERE IS ANOTHER READING  AS “बीडाल वधतः
WHICH IS GIVEN HERE UNDER :

“  ll  एवं हि जन्मसमये बहुपूर्वजन्मकर्मार्जितं दुरितमस्य वदन्ति तज्ज्ञाः  l

23. In this way explaining the many sins accrued by natives due to the KARMA (actions) of the natives in previous birth which led to CHILDLESSNESS and to ward off such sin committed, in order to get a SON , astrology has prescribed  some methods like JAPA, THAPA, CHARITY etc.  to appease the planets.

“  ll  सेतुस्नानं कीर्तनं सत्कथायाः पूजां शंभोः श्रीपतेः सद्व्रतानि

24. A holy bath in RAMASETHU, singing the names of God (BHAJAN) , Hearing the stories about GOD  (सत्कथाश्रवणं) , venerating Lord SHIVA and LORD VISHNU and hearing good words, performing charities, performing the rights to the departed souls (श्राद्ध) and by installing the idol of NAGARAJA (SERPANT GOD)  are few remedial measures to get rid of childlessness.

It can be assumed in all probabilities,  that during the DASAS or ANTARDASAS of any of the following  six planets,  a son (पुत्र) might be born to the Native. :
(a) During the Dasa/Antardasa of the lord of the House in which the ASCENDANT stays.,  During the Dasa/Antar Dasa  of the Lord of the 7th House., the Lord of the 5th House ., During the Dasa or Antar Dasa of the Planet GURU., When the Planet occupuing th 5th House or aspecting it ., When the PLANET which occupies the 5th House  or JUPITER in its orbit through NAVAMSA RASI OCCUPIED BY THE LORD OF THE 5th HOUSE or when Jupiter passes through the 5th HOUSE or the UPAGRAHA i.e in this case YAMAKANTAKA.
Note :- There are nine Upagrahas linked to the nine Grahas (planets) which are recognized by Jyotisha rules. These are: 1. Kaala  for Sun, 2. Dhooma for Moon, 3. Parivesham for Kuja, 4. Ardha Prahara for Budha, 5. Yamakantam for  GURU , 6. Vyathipatham for SHUKRA,  7 Gulika for SHANI ,8.  Indradhanush for RAAHU and 8. Upakethu for KETHU are called UPAGRAHAS.
These nine upagrahas are categorised in two categories. The first category has Gulika, Ardha Prahar, Yamkantaka and Kaala. The second category consists of Dhoom, Vyatipat, Indradhanush and Upaketu.These two categories of upagrahas are not enemical to each other and they are categorised on the basis of their method of calculation.The Upagrahas in first category are calculated on basis of the points based on set time difference from the actual sunrise and sunset. Also, these points keep on changing with every day of the week. The second category Upagrahas are also based on set time intervals from actual sunrise and sunset but their base points always remain constant throughout the week.

25.   The birth of a SON can be expected during the DASA or BHUKTHI of (1) the lord of LAGNA (2) Lord of the 7th or 5th HOUSE(3) GURU (4) When the PLANET ASPECTONG THE 5th HOUSE (5) During GURU passes through in transit of the NAVAMSHA RAASI OF the LORD OF THE 5TH HOUSE or YAMAKANDAKA RASI.

 26. The birth of a son is likely when (1) the LAGNA LORD conjunct with the lord of the 5th HOUSE (2) when the Lord of Lagna passes through his EXALTATION SIGN  (3) occupies his RAASI while passing through in his transit of  LAGNA, through the 5th HOUSE, or the RAASI occupied by the Lord of the 5th HOUSE.

“  ll  विलग्नकामात्मजनायकानां योगात्समानीय दशां महाख्याम्  l
        सूतस्थतद्वीक्षकतप्ततीनां दशापहारेषु सुतोद्भवः स्यात्  ll  “..............२७

27.  Add Longitudes of LORD of the 7th House, Lord of the 5th House and Lord on the House in which Lagna situates.  During the Maha Dasa of the Owner of the NAKSHATRA resulting from the total received by adding Longitudes or during the Aphara periods of the planet ovvupying the 5th House or the plane aspecting the 5th House or During period when the Lord of the 5th House occupies the 5th House, the birth of a Son can be predicted as a likelihood.

“  ll सुतपतिगुर्वोरथवा तद्युक्तराराश्यंशकाधिपानां वा  l
       बलसहितस्य दशायामपहारे वा सुतप्राप्तिः  ll  “...............२८.

28.  The birth of a son to the native is possible during the period or sub-period (अपहार) of the strongest one from among the Lord of the 5th House, the Lord of the Raasi in which the 5th House occupies and the Lord of the Navaamsa occupied by the Planet GURU .

“  ll  जीवे तु जीवात्मजनाथनाथभांशकत्रिकोणगे पुत्रजनिर्भ्रवेत्रुणाम्  l
       अथान्यशास्त्रेण च जन्मकालतो निरूपयेत्सन्ततिलक्षणं बुधः  ll  “……………२९.

29.  The birth of a Son can be predicted when GURU in its orbit passes through the trine representing the SIGN or  Navamsa when reckoned from JUPITER, owning the 5th House.
According to some other PUNDITS in astrology, this is to be investigated from the position of the planets at the birth time. Friends , I subscribe to this theory.

“  ll  जन्मनक्षत्रनाथस्य प्रत्ययर्क्षर्धिपस्य च  l
        स्फुटयोगं गते जीवे त्रिकोणे वासुतोद्भवः  ll  “.................३०.
30.   Add the Longitudes of the asterism and the 5th house from it. The birth of a SON is possible when GURU passes through the result of this addition or through one of its trines.

“  ll  निषेकलग्नाद्दिनापस्तृतीये  राशौ यदा चारवशादुपैति   l
       आधानलग्नादथवा त्रिकोणे रवै यदा जन्म वदेत्रराणाम्  ll  “…………..३१

31.  When RAVI in its transit passes the 3rd RAASI representing the Ascendant at the time of impregnation or transits a trine to the ADHANA Lagna*, a SON is likely to take place. ( This is most confusing Adhaana Lagna means the Lagna at which the  lady conceives/When the Shiras of the child is seen/When the child drops on the ground) . I do not know exactly what Manthrswara means by this verse.)

“  ll  आधानलग्नात्सुतभेशजन्मभाग्येऽपि वा पुण्यवशाच्च वाच्यम्  l
        आधानलग्ने शुभदृष्टियोगे दीर्घयुरैश्र्वर्ययुतो नरः स्यात्  ll  “.................३२.

32.   If the birth of a SON occurs in the ascendant which is 5th or 9th to the ADHAANA it is to be taken as the result of the virtuous deeds performed during the  previous births.
Further if the ADHAANA LAGNA occupies or is aspected by benefic planets, the child will be long lived, and will lead a wealthy and prosperous life. ( According to me, these two are impossible to find out. ) 

“  ll  तत्कालेन्दुद्वादशांशे मेषात्तावति भेऽपि  वा  l
        तस्मात्तावति भे वापि जन्मचन्द्रं वदेद्वुधः  ll  “.......................३३.

33.   After finding out the exact DWADASHAMSA of ANGARAKA (Mars) at the time of ADHANA  and the RASHI in which this planet is positioned from MESHA RAASI or the from the ADHANA RAASHI the number represented by  DWADASHAMSA . If CHANDRA is in the sign s found is in the month of delivery the child may be expected.  ( How to get the exact dwadasamsha ? Since most deliveries take place in hosptals and the watches of different doctors or nurses differ even by seconds, is it possible?)

“  ll  प्रश्नात्मजस्विकरणोपनीतिकन्याप्रधानाभिनवार्तिवेषु  l
        आधानकालेऽपि च जन्मतुल्यं फलं वदेञ्जन्मविलज्ञातश्र्च  ll  “............३४.

“ ll इति मन्त्रेश्वरविरचितायां फलदीपिकायां पुत्रचिन्ता नाम द्वादशोध्यायः  ll

34.  After considering all the aspects with reference to CHANDRA and also LAGNA, the positions of all planets at the time of a query only predictions on adoption of a son, the time of Sacred thread ceremony , Marriage of a girl, the attainment of puberty, . the conception of a boy etc. should be given.
