षष्ठाष्टमगे कृष्णे चन्द्रे दिवा पापदृष्टे सर्वारिष्टहरः ।

Say the Moon is in its own uchcha (high point) sign or a friend's sign. Then it removes every danger to life.
चन्द्रात् खे जीवो व्यये ज्ञाच्छौ लाभे खलाः सर्वारिष्टहरः ।
Count from the Moon. Say Jupiter is in the 10th, Mercury and Venus are in the 12th, and bad planets are in the 11th. Then they remove every danger…
