समनुपतिता यस्मिन्भागे त्रयः सबुधा ग्रहा भवति नियमात्तस्यावाप्तिः शुभेष्वशुभेषु वा ।व्रणकृदशुभः षष्ठो लग्नात्तनौ भसमाश्रिते तिलकमसकृदृष्टः सौम्यैर्भवेत्स च लक्ष्मवान् ॥ १६ ॥
Where three planets with Mercury fall together, that part surely gets a mark. This is so whether they are good or bad. A bad planet in the 6th house from the rising sign makes a wound. It is on that sign's body part. If good planets look at it many times, it is a mole. Such a person carries a mark.
Simple meaning: Three planets with Mercury mark a body part. A bad planet in the 6th may cause a wound there.
