भावफलविचाराध्यायः
केन्द्रे कोणेऽष्टमाधीशे तुङ्गादिपदगे तदा ।दीर्घायुरुदितं पूर्वैर्व्यत्यये हीनमङ्गिनाम् ॥ ३७ ॥
The lord of the 8th house may be in a corner house (kendra) or in the 5th or 9th house. It may be in its high sign or a similar strong place. Then the early teachers said the life is long. In the opposite case, life may be shorter.
Simple meaning: A strong 8th lord in a corner, 5th or 9th house gives a long life. The opposite may give less.
लग्नादिन्दोर्नवमभवनं भाग्यमार्य्यैः प्रदिष्टं
Judge fortune from the 9th from the lagna, then from the Moon. Its lord and good planets make it grow.
सहोत्थपुत्राङ्गगतो ग्रहश्चेद्
A planet in the 1st, 3rd or 5th looking at the 9th, or a strong one, brings good fortune.
निजोच्चभे पुण्यगृहे नभोगो
A strong planet in its high sign in the 9th may make a ruler born in a royal family.
