Chapter 8 · Health and Illness
रोगशुभाध्यायः
पृष्ठोदये विलग्ने क्रूराः केन्द्रेऽष्टगः शशी यस्य ।रोगार्तस्य विनाशो दृष्टे वा बलयुतैः पापैः ॥ २ ॥
The rising sign may be back-first, with bad planets in a corner house. If the Moon is in the 8th house, the sick person is at risk of death. The same holds if strong bad planets look at the rising sign.
Simple meaning: A back-first rising sign, bad planets in a corner and the Moon in the 8th show a risk of death.
शशिनं शशिपुत्रं वा पश्यति पापो विलग्नगेहस्थम् ।
A bad planet looking at the Moon or Mercury in the rising sign shows a risk of painful illness.
सौम्यग्रहा यदि सुतस्मरमृत्युसंस्थाः पापा भवन्ति च शुभग्रहदृश्यमानाः ।
Good planets in the 5th, 7th, 8th and the Moon in the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th are good.
पापेक्षितः पापयुतः शुभानां दृग्योगहीनो नवमः शनिश्चेत् ।
Saturn in the 9th with bad planets shows illness far away. In the 6th or 8th, risk of death.
