चतुर्थविवेकः
लग्नाम्बुधर्मेशास्त्रिकोणकेन्द्रगाः पिता मात्रा सहैव म्रियते ।
Take the lords of the lagna (rising sign), the 4th and the 9th houses. Say they are in a trikona (luck house) or a kendra (corner house). Then the father dies together with the mother.
रात्रौ चन्द्रात् त्रिकोणे मन्दे मातृवधः ।
Say the person is born at night. Saturn is in a trikona (luck house) from the Moon. Then the mother dies.
सुखे शुभे कारके शुभयुते बलाढ्ये वा सुखे मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।
Say a good planet is in the 4th house. The karaka (the planet that stands for a thing) [for the mother] is joined by good planets. Or say the 4th…
चन्द्रे बलाढ्ये वा शुक्रे शुभयुतदृष्टे मातुर्दीर्घायुः ।
Say the Moon is strong. Or say Venus is joined or aspected by good planets. Then the mother lives long.
