विवाहविचाराध्यायः
उदयाष्टमराशिसंस्थिते भृगुपुत्रेऽप्यथवेन्दुनंदने ।विधवा क्षितिजे तु सप्तमे म्रियते निश्चितमेव कन्यका ॥ ८ ॥
Venus or Mercury may be in the 8th house from the rising sign. Then the girl tends to become a widow. If Mars is in the 7th house, the girl may die.
Simple meaning: Venus or Mercury in the 8th house risks widowhood. Mars in the 7th risks the girl's death.
दिवामणिः सप्तमगो लग्नात्कन्यां मृतप्रजां कुरुते ।
The Sun in the 7th house may bring loss of children. In the 1st, an unfaithful wife.
सक्रूरौ कुरुतोऽमृतांशुशशिजौ षष्ठे स्त्रियं दुर्भगां कुर्वाते शशिभार्गवौ च कुलटामाये च जायास्थितौ ।
Moon, Mercury and Venus in these houses, with bad planets, tend to bring an unlucky, unfaithful or widowed wife.
लग्नात्स्मरेशत्रिसुतारिगश्चेद् गुर्वर्कसौम्यैः शशभृन्न चान्यैः ।
The Moon in a good house, seen only by good planets, brings marriage soon. Bad planets bring delay.
