Jāmitra (जामित्र).—The seventh zodiacal sign from the natal sign (lagna); तिथौ च जामित्रगुणान्वितायाम् (tithau ca jāmitraguṇānvitāyām) Kumārasambhava 7.1 (jāmitraṃ lagnāt saptamaṃ sthānam Malli.). Note--Some derive the word from जाया (jāyā), because in astrology, the जामित्र (jāmitra) sign indicates the future good-luck of one's wife (jāyāmitram ?); but the word is obviously connected with the Greek diametron.

Derivable forms: jāmitram (जामित्रम्).
