आयुर्दायाध्यायः
कर्केंगेसप्तसप्तौखलविहगयुतेपुष्करस्थेद्विजेशेकेंद्रेयातेसुरेज्येशरविशिखमितंपुष्करेनीरगेवा ॥सौम्येपीयूषभानौव्ययनिधनगतेदेहगेवाकवीज्यावेकर्क्षेव्योमबाणैर्व्ययरिपुनिधनेलग्ननाथाढ्यचंद्रे ॥ १५ ॥
The Sun is in the 1st house in Cancer, with a bad planet. The Moon is in the 10th house, or in a water sign. Jupiter is in a corner house. Then life is 55 years. A good Moon is in the 12th, 8th or 1st house. Venus and Jupiter are in one sign. Then life is 50 years. Next: the Moon is with the lord of the 1st house in the 12th, 6th or 8th house. The rule goes on in the next verse.
Simple meaning: 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.

Good planets in corner houses with Capricorn rising give 100 years. A badly placed 8th lord may give 28.
