1. O Brahmin, I now tell you about the 3rd house. Should the 3rd house be conjunct or aspected by a benefic, the native will be endowed with coborn and be courageous.
2. If the 3rd lord along with Mars aspects the 3rd house the native will enjoy good results due to the 3rd house. Alternatively these two planets may be in the 3rd itself.
3. Destruction at once of coborn will come to pass if the said 2 planets are together with a malefic or in a sign owned by a malefic.
4-4 1/2. FEMALE AND MALE COBORN:
If the 3rd lord is a female planet or if the 3rd house be occupied by female planets, one will have sisters born after him. Similarly male planets and male signs denote younger brothers. Should it be of mixed nature, coborn of both sexes will be obtained. These effects be declared after assessing the strength and weakness of the concerned.
5-6. Should the 3rd lord and Mars be together in the 8th, destruction of coborn will result. Happiness in this respect will come to pass if Mars or the 3rd lord is in an angle or in a trine or in exaltation/friendly divisions.
7-11. NUMBER OF BROTHERS AND SISTERS:
If Mercury is in the 3rd while the 3rd lord and Moon are together as the indicator (Mars) joins Saturn, the effects are: there occured the birth of an elder sister and there will be younger brothers. Further the third brother will die. Should Mars and Rahu be conjunct while the 3rd lord is in his sign of debilitation, there will be loss of younger brothers/sisters while 3 elder brothers/sisters were attained by the native. If the 3rd lord is in an angle while the significator is exalted in a trine and be in the company of Jupiter, 12 will be the number of total coborn. Out of these 2 elders and the 3rd, 7th, 9th, and 12th of younger coborn will be shortlived while six of the said twelve will be longlived.
12-13. There will be 7 coborn if the 12th lord (some texts read as the 11the lord) joins Mars and Jupiter while the 3rd is occupied by the Moon. If the Moon is lonely placed in the 3rd in aspect to male planets, there will be younger brothers while the aspect of Venus denotes younger sisters.
14. ADVERSE PLANETS:
The Sun in the 3rd will destroy the preborn. The afterborn will be destroyed if Saturn is found in the 3rd. In the same situation Mars will destroy both the preborn and later born.
15. After estimating the strength and weakness of such yogas, the effects related to brothers and sisters be announced.
