[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]

[Tājikasāra 336–341 says:]

The [sub]period of the sun in the period of Venus brings men danger from villains or danger from the king, excess of bile, loss of bodily strength and wealth, and the greatest evils.

The [sub]period of the moon in the period of Venus gives little gain of wealth, suffering from phlegm and cold, distress from one’s friends, children, wife and own people, and bewilderment.

The [sub]period of Mars occurring in the period of Venus [brings] men attachment to prostitutes, danger from enemies, diseases of [the humour of ] wind and of blood, loss of piety and wealth, and never any happiness.

The [sub]period of Mercury occurring in the period of Venus [gives] increase of good understanding, devotion to Brahmans and gods, delight in learning, lordship, renown, gain and happiness from women.

The [sub]period of Jupiter occurring in the period of Venus brings forth gold, jewels, garment, [good] food, gains from the king, friendship with good men, and happiness.

[The subperiod] of Saturn in the period of Venus brings forth treachery to one’s own people and delighting with strangers,^[1] gain of happiness and wealth, intoxication, sleep, quarrels, and great power for men.

This concludes the results of the subperiods (antardaśā-phala) in the period of the Venus (śukra-daśā).
