अष्टमविवेकः
द्यूने भौमे चन्द्रार्कजावङ्गे यन्त्रपीडनान्मृत्युः ।
Say Mars is in the 7th house. The Moon and Saturn are in the 1st. Then death comes from being crushed in a machine.
भौमार्किचन्द्रैस्तुलाजयमर्क्षगैर्विण्मध्ये पतितस्य मृत्युः ।
Say Mars, Saturn and the Moon are in Libra, Aries and a sign of Saturn, in that order. Then death comes to one fallen into filth.
सप्ताम्बुव्योमगैः सूर्यारक्षीणेन्दुभिर्विण्मध्ये पतितस्य मृत्युः ।
Say the Sun, Mars and the waning Moon are in the 7th, 4th and 10th houses, in that order. Then death comes to one fallen into filth.
सूर्यारावस्ते मन्देऽष्टमे क्षीणेन्दौ तुर्ये पक्षिभिर्भक्ष्यन्ते प्रेतः ।
Say the Sun and Mars are in the 7th house. Saturn is in the 8th. The waning Moon is in the 4th. Then birds eat the dead body.
