Chapter 4 · Dangers to a Child at Birth
अरिष्टाऽध्यायः
असुरमुखगते खलेन युक्तेतनुगविधौ सममम्बया लयारे ।मृतिरथ तनुगे रवौ सशस्त्रंग्रहणगते खलसंयुतेऽपि मृत्युः ॥ ९ ॥
The Moon may be in the 1st house, with a bad planet, in the mouth of the demon. Mars may be in the 8th house. The old texts say this shows a risk to the child's life, and to the mother's too. If the Sun is in the 1st house so, there is a risk from a cut or a weapon. A risk to life is also seen if the Moon or Sun is eclipsed and joined with a bad planet. (Our text is unclear here: 'the mouth of the demon' is taken as being with Rahu.)
Simple meaning: A Moon in the 1st with a bad planet, and Mars in the 8th, may show risk.
सबलशुभखगैर्युतेन दृष्टे तुहिन
Moon or Sun in the 1st, with bad planets in the 5th, 8th and 9th, may show risk.
शनिरविविधुभूमिजैः क्रमेण
Saturn, Sun, Moon, Mars in the 12th, 9th, 1st, 8th may show risk; Jupiter's look removes it.
लयमारलग्ननवधीव्ययगः
A Moon with a bad planet in certain houses, with no good planet near, may show a risk.
