Chapter 23 — Effects of Vyaya Bhava
1-4. O Brahmin, now I tell you about the effects of Vyaya Bhava. There will be expenses on good accounts, if Vyaya‟s Lord is with a benefic, or in his own Bhava, or exalted, or, if a benefic occupies Vyaya. One will own beautiful houses and beds and be endowed with superior scented articles and pleasures, if Candr happens to be Vyaya‟s Lord and be exalted, or be in its own Rāśi and/or Navāńś, or in Labh/Dharm/Putr Bhava in Rāśi/Navāńś. The said native will live with rich clothes and ornaments, be learned and Lordly.
5-6. And, if Vyaya‟s Lord is in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, or be in enemy‟s Navāńś, in debilitation Navāńś, or in Randhr Bhava in Navāńś, one will be devoid of happiness from wife, be troubled by expenses and deprived of general happiness. If he be in an angle, or trine, the native will beget a spouse.
7. Just as these effects are derived from Tanu Bhava in regard to the native, similar deductions be made about co-borns etc. from Sahaj and other Bhavas.
8. Grahas placed in the visible half of the zodiac will give explicit results, while the ones in the invisible half will confer secret results.
9. If Rahu is in Vyaya along with Mangal, Śani and Sūrya, the native will go to hell. Similar effect will occur, if Vyaya‟s Lord is with Sūrya.
10. If there is a benefic in Vyaya, while its Lord is exalted, or is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from a benefic, one will attain final emancipation.
11. One will wander from country to country, if Vyaya‟s Lord and Vyaya Bhava are with malefics and Vyaya‟s Lord gives a Drishti to, or receives a Drishti from malefics.
12. One will move in his own country, if Vyaya‟s Lord and Vyaya Bhava are with benefics and Vyaya‟s Lord gives a Drishti to, or receives a Drishti from benefics.
13. Earnings will be through sinful measures, if Vyaya is occupied by Śani, or Mangal etc. and is not receiving a Drishti from a benefic.
14. If Lagn‟s Lord is in Vyaya, while Vyaya‟s Lord is in Lagn with Śukr, expenses will be on religious grounds.
