आयुर्दायाध्यायः
इंदावापोक्लिमस्थेतदनुतनुपतौनिर्बलेपापदृष्टेदंतैस्तुल्यंततोर्कःखलखगविवरेलग्नगोब्जस्त्रिसंख्यम् ॥रिःफेकेंद्रेसुरेज्येगुरुरिपुसहजेस्यात्सपापेंगनाथेरामाब्दंकर्कलग्नेकुजतुहिनकरौकेंद्ररंध्रंग्रहोनम् ॥ १२ ॥
The Moon is in the 3rd, 6th, 9th or 12th house. The lord of the 1st house is weak, and bad planets look at it. Then life may be 32 years. The Sun is between bad planets, and the Moon is in the 1st house. Then life may be 3 years. Jupiter is in the 12th house or a corner house. An enemy of Jupiter is in the 3rd. The lord of the 1st house is with a bad planet. Then life may be 3 years. Next: the rising sign is Cancer, with Mars and the Moon in it. The other corner houses and the 8th house have no planets. The rule goes on in the next verse.
Simple meaning: A weak 1st lord seen by bad planets may give 32 years. Some rules warn of a very short life.
