जयपराजयाध्यायः
अष्टमे कुजयुते शनैश्चरे लग्नगे च मरणं दिवाकरे ।त्र्यायमृत्युषु च रोहिणीपतौ स्याद्वधः समिति भास्करानुगे ॥ १९ ॥
Saturn is in the 8th house with Mars, and the Sun is in the rising sign. Then there is a risk of death. The Moon may be in the 3rd, 11th or 8th house, close behind the Sun. Then there is a risk of being killed in battle.
Simple meaning: Saturn with Mars in the 8th and the Sun in the 1st bring a risk of death.
कुजबुधशनिभिः स्मरस्थितैर्भवति रिपूनथ गच्छतो वधः ।
Mars, Mercury and Saturn in the 7th house put an attacker at risk of being killed.
विज्ञेयाः क्षितिसुतमन्दयोर्विलग्ने षष्ठर्क्षे बुधसितयोरिहाष्टमर्क्षे ।
