Chapter 5 · Length of Life
आयुर्दायाध्यायः
क्रूरैर्दृष्टेंगनाथेयदिशुभविहगावीर्यवंतःसुधांशौसंस्थेसौम्येगणेचेद्गुणमुनितुलितंरंध्रगैर्मध्यमायुः ॥स्याच्चंद्रादह्निपापैरथतपनसुतेद्व्यंगलग्नेहियातेरिःफेशेरंध्रनाथेयदिबलरहितेकंकपत्राक्षिसंख्यम् ॥ १४ ॥
Bad planets look at the lord of the 1st house. Good planets are strong. The Moon sits among good planets. Then life is 73 years. If bad planets are in the 8th from the Moon in a day birth, life is of middle length. Next: Saturn is in the 1st house in a dual sign (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces). The lords of the 12th and 8th houses are weak. Then life may be 25 years.
Simple meaning: A seen 1st lord with strong good planets gives 73 years. Saturn rising in a dual sign may give 25.

The Sun in a Cancer 1st house with Jupiter in a corner house gives 55 years.

The 1st lord in Saturn's navamsha may give 58 years. Several weak placements may give 60.

All planets in the 9th give the highest life. A weak Jupiter with the Moon badly placed gives 70.
