BPL COMMENTARY

Going outside one's native land (referenced below) can mean leaving the regional state, the language region, the religious region, the tribal region, or the passport country.

Going away from one's native land generally means leaving the place in which one's parents home exists, the ancestral village, or where one was schooled.

Leaving the birth place does not require leaving the passport nation.

[begin quote] shloka-1.

" Which planet helps to acquire wealth [career, livelihood] ?"

  • An enemy in case of Mars,

  • A friend in case of Mercury,

  • A brother in case of Jupiter,

  • A wife in case of Venus
