विविधयोगकथनाध्यायः
चेदङ्गपो यदि रवेररिरेव हीनंपूर्णं सुहृद्यदि समः सममायुराहुः ।बालग्रहो हितसमारिपदेऽपि पूर्णंमध्यं च हीनमिह जातकतत्त्वविज्ञाः ॥ ६ ॥
If the lord of the 1st house is an enemy of the Sun, life tends to be short. If he is a friend of the Sun, life tends to be full. If he is neutral, life tends to be middle. So say those who know the truth of birth charts. The child planet gives full, middle and short life in turn. This is when it is in the sign of a friend, a neutral or an enemy. (Our text is unclear here: which planet the 'child planet' is.)
Simple meaning: 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.
मारकेशदशापाके मारकस्थस्य पापिनः ।
Death may come in the periods of maraka lords, bad planets in maraka houses, or planets joined with bad planets.
असंभवे व्ययाधीशदशायां मरणं नृणाम् ।
If not, the 12th lord's period, or sub-periods of planets linked with it, may bring a risk of death.
