Chapter 5 · Length of Life
आयुर्दायाध्यायः
शन्यंशेलग्ननाथेभुजगशरमितंस्यादथोसौम्यखेटारंध्रोनादेहनाथोव्ययरिपुनिधनेपापयुक्षष्टिरायुः ॥राशीशोलग्ननाथोदिनमणिसहितोमृत्युगोवाक्पतिश्चेन्नोकेंद्रेषष्टिरायुर्वपुषिदिनपतिःशत्रुभौमान्वितश्चेत् ॥ १६ ॥
Going on: and the lord of the 1st house is in Saturn's navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Then life may be 58 years. No good planet is in the 8th house. The lord of the 1st house is in the 12th, 6th or 8th house with a bad planet. Then life may be 60 years. The lord of the Moon's sign, or of the 1st house, is with the Sun in the 8th house. Jupiter is not in a corner house. Then life may be 60 years. Next: the Sun is in the 1st house with an enemy and Mars. The rule goes on in the next verse.
Simple meaning: The 1st lord in Saturn's navamsha may give 58 years. Several weak placements may give 60.
वागीशेहीनवीर्येव्ययतनुजगतेयामिनीशेखशैलाधर्मेसर्वैःपरायुःखगखललवगैःकेंद्रयातैरशीतिः ॥
All planets in the 9th give the highest life. A weak Jupiter with the Moon badly placed gives 70.
सारंगस्यांत्यभागेयदिवपुषिगतेचाद्यभागेचकेंद्रेसौम्यैःखेटैःशतंस्याद्वसुसहजसुखेस्याच्चिरायुःसमस्तैः ॥
Good planets in corner houses with Capricorn rising give 100 years. A badly placed 8th lord may give 28.
क्षीणेप्रालेयभानौयदिखलखचरोमृत्युगोमृत्युनाथःकेंद्रस्थोलग्ननाथोनिजबलरहितःखाश्वितुल्यंतदायुः ॥
A waning Moon, a bad planet in the 8th and a weak 1st lord may give 20 years.
