विविधयोगकथनाध्यायः
मन्दश्चेत्पापसंयुक्तो मारकग्रहयोगतः ।तिरस्कृत्य ग्रहान्सर्वान्निहन्ता पापकृद्यदा ॥ ४ ॥
Saturn may be joined with bad planets and also linked with a maraka (death-giving planet). Then he is a doer of harm. Ahead of all other planets, he is held to be the one most likely to bring death.
Simple meaning: If Saturn joins bad planets and a death-giving planet, he may become the main planet that threatens life.
अल्प-मध्यम-पूर्णायुः प्रमाणमिह योगजम् ।
First find whether life is short, middle or long. Only then look at the planets that can give death.
चेदङ्गपो यदि रवेररिरेव हीनं
If the 1st lord is the Sun's enemy, life tends to be short; a friend, full; a neutral, middle.
अष्टमर्क्षं तृतीयं च बुधैरायुरुदाहृतम् ।
The 8th and 3rd houses show life span. The 2nd and 7th houses can give death.
