O Brahmin, those are the effects of house of lords which are to be deduced considering their strengths and weaknesses. In the case of a planet owning two bhavas, the results are to be deduced based on its two lordships (for the same placement). If contrary results are thus indicated, the results will be nullified, while results of varied nature will come to pass.
The planet will yield full, half or quarter of the effects according to its strength being full, medium, and negligble, respectively. Thus I have told you about the effects due to bhava lords in various bhavas.
