হে রাজন, যখন বৃষ লগ্নে বুধ, গুরু ও শনি যুক্ত থাকে, তখন শাসক বন্ধু, স্ত্রী ও পুত্রসন্তান লাভ করে। আবার শনি মকরে থেকে ত্র্যর্যমণ প্রভৃতি অংশে অবস্থান করে এবং মেষাদি রাশির যোগ হলে—তদ্রূপ ফল নির্দেশিত হয়।

FAQs
It shows how the Purana integrates Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa with dharma-teachings: worldly stability (friends, spouse, children) is presented as supportive for a disciplined, dharmic life that can culminate in mokṣa.
Indirectly: by describing conditions that yield social and family support, it implies a stable household and righteous prosperity can become a foundation for sustained sādhana—such as Viṣṇu-bhakti, vrata, and charity—rather than an obstacle.
