Note 2: Kāraka could be interpreted in different way (Anitya kāraka (dispositor of the 4th Lord), Moon as general kāraka of 4th house, Venus as Kāraka of vehicles, or Mātṛkāraka (Tara Chandra and Girdhari Lal talk about this last variant).
Two conditions of first and second lines - the 4th Lord is debilitated, and the 4th Lord is in the 11th house can be possible together only for Leo Lagna if we consider Ketu as the 4th Lord. But in this case condition of benefic Lagna Lord is not met.
So, it should be ‘OR’ at least between 1st line and 2nd line conditions. (Or 1st line could belong to another śloka.)
1st line condition is met in the following cases:
  • Taurus Lagna, Sun is in the Libra
  • Gemini or Pisces Lagna, Mercury is in Pisces
  • Cancer Lagna, Venus is in Virgo
  • Virgo or Sagittarius Lagna, Jupiter is in Capricorn
  • Libra Lagna, Saturn is in Aries
2nd line condition (karaka in 12H, 4L in 11H) is not so restricted and looks more trustworthy – Anitya kāraka, that supposed to bring fruits of the house, being in the 12H, brings fruits on 12th year, bhāveśa is supporting in that, being located in 11H of gains.
