आयुर्दायाध्यायः
युग्मर्क्षांशंगतावाव्ययधनगृहगाश्चेच्छुभाःशीतभानुःसंपूर्णोलग्नयायीशतमिहजनितामिंदिरामंदिरंस्यात् ॥लग्नेशेसौम्ययुक्तेवपुषिचलयपेरंध्रगेनान्यदृष्टेविंशत्केंद्रेलयेशेबलवियुजितथालग्नपेत्रिंशदायुः ॥ ११ ॥
Going on: or the good planets are in even signs or even-sign navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Or they are in the 12th and 2nd houses. The full Moon is in the 1st house. Then life is 100 years, and the person will be very rich. Next: the lord of the 1st house, with a good planet, is in the 8th house. The lord of the 8th house is in the 1st house. No other planet looks at it. Then life may be 20 years. The lord of the 8th house is weak in a corner house. The lord of the 1st house is weak too. Then life may be 30 years.
Simple meaning: Good planets well placed and a full Moon in the 1st house give 100 years and wealth.

A seen 1st lord with strong good planets gives 73 years. Saturn rising in a dual sign may give 25.
