Notes—For example (1) if the Lagna point (Lagna Bhava-Madhya) is 1 degree and the longitude of the Saturn posited in the 5th house is also 1 degree, Saturn will give the full effect of the 5th house.

(2) If the Lagna point is 29 degrees and Saturn's longitude in the 5th house is 1 degree, Saturn will produce very little effect of the same house.

35. This verse is Intended to further explain the principle laid down in verse 34. Find out how far away is the planet in the house whose effects are to be assessed, from the Bhavamadhya of that house. The more it is nearer to the Bhava-Madhya, the lesser will be the effects produced.
