द्वितीयोध्यायः
बुधारातिभावे तु पापा भवन्तिवृत्तो ज्ञोपि नीचाश्रितो नष्टवीर्य्यः ।तदा मातुलानां विनाशो विशेषादिति प्राहुराचार्य्यवर्य्या नराणाम् ॥ ४ ॥
Bad planets may be in the 6th house from Mercury. Mercury may also be in its low sign and have lost its strength. Then the best teachers say there is a special risk to the person's maternal uncles. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'vritto' before Mercury; it may mean 'surrounded by them'.)
Simple meaning: Bad planets in the 6th from Mercury, with Mercury weak in its low sign, show a risk to maternal uncles.
यदा पापखेचारिणो जन्मकाले
Bad planets in the 3rd house from Mars show a risk to a brother.
वृहस्पतेः पंचमभावसंस्था महीजमन्दागुदिवाकराश्चेत् ।
Bad planets in the 5th from Jupiter, and its lord with bad planets, show a risk to children.
चेत्कवेरंगनागारगामीदिनेशो
Sun and bad planets 7th from Venus: risk to the wife. Strong bad planets 8th from Saturn: risk to life.
