विदेशगः पितावृद्धः खेवा राशिवशात्यये । पूर्ण इंढौ स्वभेशेज्ञे शुभे मुव्यंवुजे तनौ ॥ ७४ ॥
videśagaḥ pitāvṛddhaḥ khevā rāśivaśātyaye | pūrṇa iṃḍhau svabheśejñe śubhe muvyaṃvuje tanau || 74 ||
यदि जातक विदेश में हो और पिता वृद्ध हो, तो फल का निर्णय राशि-प्रभाव के अनुसार करना चाहिए। यदि चन्द्रमा पूर्ण, शुभ, अपने ही राशि में या अपने स्वामी की राशि में स्थित हो—विशेषतः तनु-भाव पर शुभ योग बने—तो शुभ फल प्राप्त होते हैं।
