Jataka Tattva · by Mahadeva
Chapter 8 · Enemies, Wounds, Illness: the 6th House
षष्ठविवेकः
सोत्थे गुलिकार्कजौ शुभदृग्घीनौ कर्णरोगः ।
Say Gulika (son of Saturn, a shadow point) and Saturn are in the 3rd house. Good planets do not aspect them. Then the person may have an ear disease.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सोत्थपे क्रूरषष्ट्यंशे कर्णरोगः ।
Say the 3rd lord is in a cruel shashtyamsha (one-sixtieth part of a sign). Then the person may have an ear disease.
अंशे केतौ पापदृष्टे कर्णच्छेदः कर्णरोगो वा ।
Take the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the atmakaraka (the planet that stands for the self). Say Ketu is in it. Bad planets aspect Ketu…
समन्देऽरीशे नीचेऽनिलरोगः ।
Say the 6th lord is at its low point and joined with Saturn. Then the person may suffer from an illness of vata (the wind humour).
