Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
राशिजन्माष्टमो मुख्यं सद्मनि स्वेशयुक् तथा ॥वर्षाष्टमर्क्षं पुण्यस्थं स्वेशयुक्तम्मृतिप्रदम् ॥
The sign that was 8th at birth is the main one. When it stands in the house of the Punya sahama with its own lord, the same holds. The sign 8th in the year stands in the Punya (merit) sahama (special point for one life topic), joined with its own lord. That may bring death.
Simple meaning: Eighth house: the birth 8th sign with its own lord in the merit point, or the year's 8th sign there with its lord, may bring a serious time.
क्रूराक्रान्तं पुण्यसद्म यदि जन्माष्टमेश्वरः ॥
Eighth house: the merit point hit by bad planets, with the birth 8th lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th, is a very hard time.
मुथहेशोब्दपो वापि क्रूराक्रान्तोरिमृत्युगः ॥
Muntha lord or year lord pressed by bad planets in the 6th or 8th, or the birth 8th lord gone elsewhere: danger to life is shown.
पुण्यसद्मनि लग्ने वा चंद्रः क्रूरस्तु सप्तमः ॥
Moon in the Punya sahama's house or the lagna, with a bad planet in the 7th, or bad planets in the 2nd and 12th: danger to life.
