Verse 13 – Strength of Trikona and Kendra Lords
केन्द्रत्रिकोणालयपाः शुभप्रदाः सोग्रा मिथोऽन्त्यार्थं गता न
शोभनाः ।
परभुः सवक्षितो बली यद्भेऽस्ति तत्पुष्टिरनीचशत्रुगः ॥१३॥
Lords of Kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) and Trikona (5, 9) are
inherently benefic.
But if these planets are malefic by nature and are
placed in 2nd and 12th from each other (mutual dwirdvādaśa), they lose
their beneficence.
The lord of the ascendant (lagneśa), when strong (not in
debilitation/enemy sign) and associated/aspected by benefics, enhances the
house it is placed in.
However, if debilitated, in enemy sign, or afflicted by malefics, it gives
inauspicious results.
Simplified Insight: Kendra and Trikona lords are good
unless they are in mutual 2nd/12th and associated with malefics.
The ascendant lord is key; if strong and supported, it
uplifts the chart. If weak or afflicted, it brings suffering.
