20. Four Yogas are described in this Verse which are as follows —
(a) If Venus is aspected by Jupiter a person born in a royal family becomes a King.
(b) If Jupiter occupies a sign other than Capricorn identical with Lagna, the native becomes a King with many elephants under his charge. (that is Jupiter in Lagna but not in Capricorn)
(c) A King will be born if in a nativity the lord of the Lagna vested with full strength occupies a Kendra. (that is faultless strong lagna lord in Kendra)
(d) If at birth Mercury with full strength is posited in Kendra and is aspected by Jupiter, the native becomes so influential that the Kings act according to his advice. (That is faultless strong Mercury in Kendra aspected by Jupiter) - Shudh Bhuddhi

There are again two Raja Yogas in this verse as described below: — (1) Should the Moon with full rays be in Pisces aspected by a friendly planet, the native will become a king with pre-eminent position and delighting the world. (2) Should the Moon be full and be in his sign of exaltation the native will become a very generous, charitable and praiseworthy King.
