BPHS Chapter 3

trikot svtsukhasv'ntyadhdharmyusvatugap |
suhdo ripavavnve samcobhayalaka || 55||
55. Natural Relationships. Note the Ris, which are the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th and 12th
from the Mooltrikon of a Graha. The Grahas ruling such Ris are its friends, apart from
the Lord of its exaltation Ri. Lords other than these are its enemies. If a Grah becomes
its friend as well, as its enemy (on account of the said two computations), then it is
neutral, or equal.

56. Temporary Relationships. The Grah, posited in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 10th, 11th, or the
12th from another, becomes a mutual friend. There is enmity otherwise. (This applies to
a given Janm Kundali)

57-58. Compound Relationship. Should two Grahas be naturally and temporarily friendly,
they become extremely friendly. Friendship on one count and neutrality on another count
make them friendly. Enmity on one count combined with affinity on the other turns into
equality. Enmity and neutralship cause only enmity. Should there be enmity in both
manners, extreme enmity is obtained. The Jyotishi should consider these and declare
horoscopic effects accordingly.
