भावफलविचाराध्यायः
तमः शनिभ्यां निधनाधिनाथःपापैर्युतो हीनबलोऽस्तगो वा ।अल्पायुषं जातकमेवसद्यःकरोति नैवोच्चनिजर्क्षगश्चेत् ॥ ३४ ॥
The lord of the 8th house may be joined with bad planets, Rahu and Saturn. It may be weak or set (too close to the Sun). Then there is a risk of a short life, and soon. This does not hold if it is in its high sign or its own sign.
Simple meaning: A weak or set 8th lord with Rahu and Saturn shows a risk of short life, unless strong in sign.
अष्टमस्थे रवौ वह्नेश्चन्द्रे तु जलयोगतः ।
A planet in the 8th may show the cause of death: Sun fire, Moon water, Mars a blade, Mercury fever.
गुरौ त्रिदोषतः शुक्रे क्षुधया तृषया शनौ
Jupiter shows a humour illness, Venus hunger, Saturn thirst. Moving, fixed or dual signs show foreign land, home or road.
केन्द्रे कोणेऽष्टमाधीशे तुङ्गादिपदगे तदा ।
A strong 8th lord in a corner, 5th or 9th house gives a long life. The opposite may give less.
