षष्ठविवेकः
This chapter is about 6th house enemies and trouble. It has 191 sutras.
It reads quarrels and the pain that foes bring. It also covers wounds, health and the fears of a life. The sutras tie many kinds of illness to the chart. This page speaks of them only in general terms. Some sutras end on help, such as the gift of a maternal uncle.
