नेष्टा योगाः शुभैर्दृष्टाः पापाः स्युर्नात्र संशयः । मंदेऽस्ते मंदभांशेंगे निषैकेब्दत्रये जनिः ॥ ६४ ॥
neṣṭā yogāḥ śubhairdṛṣṭāḥ pāpāḥ syurnātra saṃśayaḥ | maṃde'ste maṃdabhāṃśeṃge niṣaikebdatraye janiḥ || 64 ||
যে যোগ সাধারণত শুভ বলে গণ্য, পাপদৃষ্টিতে আক্রান্ত হলে তা অশুভ হয়ে যায়—এতে সন্দেহ নেই। শনি অস্ত থাকলে এবং লগ্ন শনি-অংশে পড়লে, নিষেকের পর তিন বছরের মধ্যে জন্ম ঘটে।
