Chapter 4 · Dangers to a Child at Birth
अरिष्टाऽध्यायः
शीतांशावरिविरतिस्थिते विनाशःपापैः स्यात्सपदि युतेक्षितेपि जन्तो ।अष्टाब्दैः शुभखचरैश्च मिश्रखेटैर्वेदाब्दैरपि मुनिभिर्निरुक्तमेतत् ॥ ५ ॥
The Moon may stand in the 6th or 8th house. Bad planets may join it or look at it. The old texts say this shows a risk to the child's life soon after birth. If good planets join or look at it instead, the risk is within 8 years. With mixed planets it is within 4 years. The sages have said this.
Simple meaning: A Moon in the 6th or 8th with bad planets may show an early risk.
अरिविरतिगते शुभे च दृष्टे
A good planet in the 6th or 8th seen by a strong bad planet may show a first-month risk.
कृशशशिनि तनौ खलोऽष्टकेन्द्रे
A weak Moon in the 1st, or a Moon between bad planets, may show a risk.
भविरतिगतशोभनैरदृष्टे शशि
Bad planets in the 5th and 9th, or Moon in 1st with one in 7th, may show risk.
