आयुर्दायाध्यायः
लग्नाधीशोतिवीर्योयदिशुभविहगैरीक्षितःकेंद्रयातैर्द्यादायुःसुदीर्घंगुणगणसहितंश्रीयुतंमानवानाम् ॥सौम्याःकेंद्रालयस्थाजनुषिचरजनीनायकेस्वीयतुंगेवीर्याढ्येलग्ननाथेवपुषिचशरदांषष्टिमायुर्नराणाम् ॥ २ ॥
Suppose the lord of the 1st house is very strong. Good planets in corner houses look at it. Then the person gets a very long life, with many good qualities and wealth. Another rule: good planets are in corner houses at birth. The Moon is in its high sign. The strong lord of the 1st house is in the 1st house. Then life is 60 years.
Simple meaning: A very strong 1st lord seen by good planets in corner houses gives a long, rich life.

Good planets in corner houses, Jupiter in the 1st and an empty, unseen 8th house give 70 years.
