Kabhi yahan se churaya kabhi wahan se churaya, ye duniya hi bewakoof thi maine na banaya. (Rahu 1)
Sometimes I stole from here, sometimes I stole from there; this world itself was foolish, I didn't make it so. - Rahu 1
The 1st house represents the self, the brain, and the personality. Rahu is the ultimate trickster, the master of illusion, and the ultimate opportunist.
When Rahu sits in the 1st house, it creates a highly cunning, sharp, and manipulative mind. Dr. Sharma writes this verse from the perspective of Rahu itself.
This person knows exactly how to extract ideas, resources, or credit from others ("kabhi yahan se churaya"). They are so smooth that they don't even feel guilty; instead, they believe that if the world is foolish enough to be tricked ("duniya hi bewakoof thi"), it is their right to take advantage of it. They are master manipulators of perception.
