अष्टमविवेकः
क्षीणेन्द्वारार्कजार्कैः खाङ्कोदयेषुगैर्धूमाग्निबन्धनकाष्ठादि प्रहारान्मृत्युः ।
Say the waning Moon, Mars, Saturn and the Sun are in the 10th, 9th, 1st and 5th houses. They are in that order. Then death comes from smoke, fire, being bound, or blows from wood and the like.
खास्ताम्बुगैर्मन्दार्कारैरायुधाग्निनृपकोपतो मृत्युः ।
Say Saturn, the Sun and Mars are in the 10th, 7th and 4th houses, in that order. Then death comes from a weapon, from fire or from a king's anger.
भौमेऽम्बुगे खेऽर्के वाहनपाततो मृत्युः ।
Say Mars is in the 4th house. The Sun is in the 10th. Then death comes from a fall from a vehicle.
मन्देन्द्वारैर्द्व्यब्धिदशमगैश्छिद्रे क्रमिपाततो मृत्युः ।
Say Saturn, the Moon and Mars are in the 2nd, 4th and 10th houses, in that order. Then death comes from worms getting into a wound.
