The 10th lord in each house

Chapter 24 gives the result of the lord of every house placed in every house. These are the twelve for the 10th. The text adds that results come in proportion to the planet's strength (24.145–148), and where one planet owns two houses whose results clash on the same matter, both are cancelled (24.146).

10th lord in the 1st house

कर्मेशे लग्नगे जातो विद्वान् ख्यातो धनी कविः । बाल्ये रोगी सुखी पश्चाद् धनवृद्धिर्दिने दिने

From chapter 21: the 10th house itself

Now I tell you the results of the 10th house. Listen truly, O Maitreya, to what was told by Brahmā, Garga and others.

21.1

With the 10th lord strong and in its exaltation, its own aṃśa or its own sign, the native is rich in happiness from his father, famous, and a doer of good deeds.

21.2

If the 10th lord lacks strength, declare defects in work. With Rahu in a kendra or trikoṇa, one performs sacrifices such as the Jyotiṣṭoma.

21.3

With the 10th lord joined with a benefic and placed in a good place, there is always gain at the royal court and in trade; otherwise, the reverse.

21.4

Chapter 21 has more rules for this house; your reading checks every one of them against your chart.
