1. I now explain the effects of the 10th house. Listen to these, O Maitreya, in the words of Brahma, Garga and others.
2. PATERNAL HAPPINESS:
If the 10th lord is strong and be exaltation or in own Rasi/Navamsa, the native will derive extreme paternal happiness, will enjoy fame and will perform good deeds.
3. If the 10th lord is devoid of strength, the native will face obstructions in his work. If Rahu is in an angle or in a trine, he will perform religious sacrifices like Jyotishstoma.
4. If the 10th lord is with a benefic or be in an auspicious house, one will always gain through royal patronage and in business. In a contrary situation only opposite results will come to pass.
5. Should the 10th and 11th be both occupied by malefics the native will indulge only in bad deeds and will defile his own men.
6. If the lord of the 10th is relegated to the 8th along with Rahu, the native will hate others, be a great fool and will do bad deeds.
7. If Saturn, Mars, and the 10th lord are in the 7th as the 7th lord is with a malefic, the native will be fond of carnal pleasures and of filling his belly.
8-10. Should the 10th lord be in exaltation and be in the company of Jupiter as the 9th lord is in the 10th the native will be endowed with honor, wealth, and valor. One will lead a happy life if the 11th lord is in the 10th and the 10th lord is in the ascendant or if the lords of the 10th and 11th are conjunct in an angle. Should the 10th lord in strength be in Pisces along with Jupiter, the native will doubtless obtain robes, ornaments, and happiness.
11. Should Rahu, Sun, Saturn, and Mars be in the 11th, the native will incur cessation of his duties.
12. One will be learned and wealthy if Jupiter is in Pisces along with Venus while the ascendant lord is strong and the Moon is in exaltation.
13. Should the 10th lord be in the 12th while the 11th lord is in the ascendant and Venus is in the 10th, the native will be endowed with precious stones.
14. If the lord of the 10th is exalted in an angle or a trine and be in the company of or in aspect to Jupiter, one will be endowed with (worthy) deeds.
15. Should the 10th lord be in the ascendant along with the ascendant lord as the Moon is in an angle or in a trine, the native will be interested in good deeds.
16. If Saturn is in the 10th along with a debilitated planet while the 10th from Navamsa ascendant is occupied by a malefic, the native will be bereft of (virtuous) acts.
17. One will indulge in bad acts if the 10th lord is in the 8th while the 8th lord is in the 10th with a malefic.
18. Obstructions to the native's acts will crop up if the 10th lord is in fall, as both the 10th house from the ascendant and the 10th from the 10th (i.e. from the ascendant) have malefic occupations.
19-21. COMBINATIONS FOR FAME:
One will be endowed with fame if the Moon is in the 10th while the 10th lord is in a trine for the 10th and the ascendant lord is in ascendant's angle. Similar effects will come to pass if the 11th lord is in the 10th while the 10th lord is strong and be in aspect to Jupiter. Fame will come to the native if the 10th lord is in the 9th as the ascendant lord is in the 10th and the Moon is in the 5th from the ascendant.
22. O excellent of the Brahmins, thus have been told about the effects of the 10th house in a brief manner. Other related effects be guessed by you based on the relationship of the lords of the ascendant and of the 10th.
