Chapter 6 · The Twelve Houses
द्वादशभावविचाराध्यायः
विशेषमाह तेजःसिंह ॥स्वोच्चादिगो बलयुतो मृतिगेहनाथः क्रूराहतोर्करहितो गृहदृग्युतो वा ॥लग्नन्तदीशमपि वा यदि वीक्षिते रुक् क्लेशादितत्खलु भवेदबलेन्यथात्वम् ॥
Tejahsimha gives a special point. The lord of the 8th house may be in its high sign or the like, and strong. It may be free of the Sun. Or it may be joined with a look at the house. Say it looks at the lagna (rising sign) or its lord. Then there may be illness, trouble and the like. If it is weak, it is the other way. (Our text is unclear here: krurahatah can mean struck by bad planets or not struck by them.)
Simple meaning: 8th lord strong, in a high sign, looking at the lagna or its lord: illness and trouble. If it is weak, the result is the opposite.
लग्नेशमूसरीफतोब्दपतिस्तु भव्यो भौमोब्दपो गुरुदृशाप्यबलो न निंद्यः ॥
Year lord good through israpha with the lagna lord. Mars as year lord, if weak, not to be blamed with Jupiter's look. 8th lord with 11th lord…
यादवः ॥
Year lord with Mars's look: fear of war. Muntha lord in the 8th from the muntha: danger to life in that year.
जन्मांगजन्माष्टपती च वर्षे मुंथागतौ मृत्युकरौ प्रदिष्टौ ॥
Birth lagna lord and 8th lord with the muntha in the year: danger to life. Birth 8th lord in the year's 8th: the same.
