Chapter 10 · Long Life and the Kind of Death: the 8th House
अष्टमविवेकः
मीनाद्ये ग्रहिणी प्रमेहगुल्मतो मध्ये जलोदरगजग्राहतो प्रमेदादन्त्ये कुरोगान्मृत्युः ।
Say the 8th house falls in the first drekkana (one-third part of a sign) of Pisces. Then death comes from chronic bowel trouble, urinary trouble or a lump in the belly. In the middle drekkana, it comes from dropsy, an elephant, a crocodile, or excess fat. In the last, it comes from a bad illness.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सौम्ये रन्ध्रे शुभदृष्टे वा धर्मपे सौम्ये तीर्थे मृत्युः ।
Say a good planet is in the 8th house and good planets aspect it. Or say the 9th lord is a good planet. Then death comes at a holy place.
धर्मपारार्का धर्मगाः लग्नास्तेशौ मित्रे पत्नीसहगामिनी ।
Say the 9th lord, Mars and the Sun are in the 9th house. The 1st lord and the 7th lord are in a friend's sign. Then his wife goes with him [in death].
अंशाद्वा लग्नाद्रन्ध्रे शुभे शुभलोकाप्तिः ।
Take the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the atmakaraka (the planet that stands for the self). Say a good planet is in the 8th house from it…
