Jataka Tattva · by Mahadeva
Chapter 10 · Long Life and the Kind of Death: the 8th House
अष्टमविवेकः
रन्ध्रे रवौ वह्नेश्चन्द्रे जलयोगाद्भौमे शस्त्रतो बुधे ज्वरतो गुरौ त्रिदोषतः शुक्रे क्षुधया शनौ तृषया मृत्युः ।
Say the Sun is in the 8th house. Then death comes from fire. If the Moon is there, death comes from water. For Mars, from a weapon. For Mercury, from fever. For Jupiter, from a disorder of all three humours. For Venus, from hunger. For Saturn, from thirst.
Classical view, not medical advice.
भौमार्कदृष्टं लग्नं शुक्रेज्यादृष्टं चेद्वृषभेण मृत्युः ।
Say Mars and the Sun aspect the 1st house, and Venus and Jupiter do not aspect it. Then death comes from a bull.
मन्दार्कौ लग्ने राहुदृष्टौ वृक्षपाततो मृत्युः
Say Saturn and the Sun are in the 1st house, aspected by Rahu. Then death comes from a falling tree.
द्यूने शन्यर्कराहुषु सर्पपीडातो मृत्युः ।
Say Saturn, the Sun and Rahu are in the 7th house. Then death comes from a snake bite.
