Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
क्रूरखेचरदशासमये चेदित्यादिजातकोक्तदशारिष्टे वर्षे लग्नेंथिहापति इत्यादियोगोत्पत्तौ मरणं दशारिष्टासंभवे दुःखमित्यर्थः ॥
The meaning is this. Take a year with a dasha (planet period) harm told in jataka (birth chart reading) texts. It begins with the words 'if, in the time of a cruel planet's dasha'. Then the combinations 'lagna (rising sign) lord, muntha lord' and so on may arise. In that case death may come. If a dasha harm is not possible, there is sorrow.
Simple meaning: Eighth house: the rule works fully when a harmful period is also running; otherwise it brings worry.
रवौ जनौ शुक्रकमूसरीफे केंद्रेऽब्दनाथे नृपभीतिरोगौ॥
Eighth house: Sun in israpha with Venus at birth, year lord in a corner house: worry from rulers and illness. Mercury as year lord in Mars's birth…
तस्मिन्बुधे केवलमष्टपाते भौमारिदृष्ट्यापि न शोभनोब्दः ॥
Eighth house: Mercury in the 8th, or under Mars's hostile look, makes a hard year. A strong Mercury there with Mars's look: trouble and confinement…
एते योगास्ताजिकसिन्धावन्यथैवोक्ताः ॥
Eighth house, another text: Sun in israpha with Venus at birth, in charge and in a corner house: fever, worry from rulers, illness.
