अवस्थाफलकथनाध्यायः
यदा निद्रायुक्तो निधनभवनं पापमिलितःशयानो वा मृत्युं व्रजति रिपुकोपेन मनुजः ।शुभैर्दृष्टौ युक्तो निजपतियुतो वान्तसमयेनरो गङ्गामेत्य व्रजति हरिसायुज्यपदवीम् ॥ २१ ॥
Next, two combinations: death through an enemy, and death at a holy place. A planet in nidra (sleeping) or shayana (lying down) may be in the 8th house with a bad planet. Then there is a risk of death through an enemy's anger. Good planets may see or join it, or it may be with its own lord. Then at the end of life the person may reach the Ganga. He then gains oneness with Hari (Vishnu).
Simple meaning: A sleeping planet with a bad one in the 8th risks harm from enemies. Good planets give a holy end.
राहुणा सहितौ यस्य निधनस्थौ कुजार्कजौ ।
Mars and Saturn with Rahu in the 8th house show a risk of untimely death by a weapon.
निधनोपि शुभो यस्य पापारिग्रहवीक्षितः ।
A good planet in the 8th, seen by bad or enemy planets, may show a risk of death in battle.
यदा पश्येदङ्गं तनुभवननाथोऽष्टमपति
If the 1st, 8th and 9th lords see the 1st, and good planets hold the 9th, moksha may follow.
