19-20. Sharad Yog. Should Karm’s Lord be in Putr Bhava, while Budh is in a Kendr, as Sūrya with strength is in Simh, Sharad Yog is formed.

29-30. Kusum Yog. Śukr in a Kendr, Candr in a Kon along with a benefic and Śani in Karm Bhava: these Grahas thus cause Kusum Yog for one born in a Fixed Rashi ascending. Such a native will be a king, or equal to him, be charitable, will enjoy pleasures, be happy, prime among his race men, virtuous and red-lettered.

31-32. Kalanidhi Yog. If Guru is placed in Dhan, or Putr Bhava and receives a Drishti from Budh and Śukr, Kalanidhi Yog is caused. In effect the native will be virtuous, honoured by the kings, bereft of diseases, be happy, wealthy and learned.

Brahma Yog is generated, if, counted from Lagn’s Lord, benefics are in the 4^th, 10^th and 11^th Rashis. One born in anyone of the said three Yogas will be happy, learned and endowed with wealth and sons.
