கருத்துரைகள் :- Almost all the Sutras are logical and to the point and self-explanatory. Mars will give good effects in the 10th as he gets directional strength in that house. Ill effects are realised only when Mars is associated with or aspected by a malefic or is lord of an evil house. If Mars is in his sign (Aries or Scorpio) he will be in the 10th as lord of the 10th, giving rise to a powerful Rajayoga. The same will happen if Mars is in Taurus (Leo Ascendant) or in Sagittarius (Pisces Ascendant), because then he will be in the 10th as lord of the 9th. If Mars is in the 10th, he will be in kendra to the ascendant. If he is in own sign or in his sign of exaltation, Ruchaka yoga will also be formed, the effects of which have already been described at the beginning of this chapter.

It is stated in Sutra 76 that if the lord of 10th is strong the brothers will be longlived. Although the tenth house has nothing to do with brothers, Mars is significator (karaka) of brothers, and it is on this basis that the above result has been predicted.
