From the lagna one is possessed of abundant wealth [and] from the Moon one is possessed of abundant wealth with the benefic planets situated in all the upacaya houses. With two, middling. And when there is less than that, one is possessed of insignificant wealth. When those other inauspicious results occur, this (rule) is superior.
