लग्नास्तगौ पापौ चन्द्रो मिश्रदृष्टो बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।
Say malefics are in the lagna (rising sign) and the 7th house. The Moon is aspected by both a benefic and a malefic. Then the child dies at once.
क्षीणेन्दावन्त्ये पापेषु लग्नाष्टगेषु केन्द्रान्तरगेषु शुभेषु बालस्य सद्यो मृतिः ।
Say the Moon is waning and in the 12th house. Malefics are in the lagna (rising sign) and the 8th. Benefics are away from the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th…
