Chapter 5 · Length of Life
आयुर्दायाध्यायः
आयुर्मूलंजन्मिनांजीवनंचह्याजीवानांनिर्जराणांसुधेव ॥एवंप्राहुःपूर्वमाचार्यवर्यास्तस्मादायुर्दायमेनंप्रवक्ष्ये ॥ १ ॥
Length of life is the root for all who are born. It is their very life, as nectar is life for the ageless gods. So the best teachers of old have said. That is why I will now explain the length of life.
Simple meaning: Length of life matters most for every person, so the author now explains how to judge it.
लग्नाधीशोतिवीर्योयदिशुभविहगैरीक्षितःकेंद्रयातैर्द्यादायुःसुदीर्घंगुणगणसहितंश्रीयुतंमानवानाम् ॥
A very strong 1st lord seen by good planets in corner houses gives a long, rich life.
सौम्याःकेंद्रालयस्थावपुषिसुरगुरौलग्नतोवासुधांशोरायुर्युक्तंनदृष्टंनचगगनगतैःसप्ततिर्वत्सराणाम् ॥
Good planets in corner houses, Jupiter in the 1st and an empty, unseen 8th house give 70 years.
सौम्येकेंद्रेतिवीर्येयदिनिधनपदंखेटहीनंसमाःस्युस्त्रिंशत्सौम्येक्षितश्चेद्गगनहिमकरैःसंयुतोथोस्वभेचेत् ॥
A strong good planet in a corner house with an empty 8th house gives about 30 years.
