Signs of the five great men (pañca-puruṣa or pañca-mahāpuruṣa) - Verse 3-4
Brihat Samhita (Wisdomlib English) · 69 · Verse 3-4
Sanskrit Original
A person’s excellent Sattva , inner strength, is derived from the Sun endowed with strength; physical lustre and mental strength (or qualities), from the Moon’s strength. A persons’ characteristics depend upon the lords of the Zodiacal signs and their sub-divisions ( viz . Horā , Drekkāṇa . Navāṃśa, Dvādaśāṃśa and Triṃśāṃśa) in which these two luminaries are stationed (as well as upon the planets with which they are conjoined). Persons will be blessed with the particular physical constituent, great element, nature, lustre, colour, mettle, appearance etc. belonging to the planets owning the particular sub-divisions of signs occupied by them. When both the luminaries are weak in respect of the signs and sub-divisions, the characteristics would be of a mixed type.
