Chapter 5 · Length of Life
आयुर्दायाध्यायः
कोदंडांत्यार्धमंगंयदिसकलखगाःस्वोच्चगाज्ञेजिनांशैर्गोस्थेपूर्णंचकेंद्रेसुरपतिभृगुजौलाभगेब्जेपरायुः ॥शुक्रेमीनेतनुस्थेनिधनगृहगतेसौम्यदृष्टेसुधांशौजीवेकेंद्रेशतंस्यादथतनुगृहपेछिद्रगेपुष्करेब्जे ॥ ८ ॥
The rising sign is the last half of Sagittarius. All planets are in their high signs, and Mercury is in Taurus at 24 degrees. Then life is full. Jupiter and Venus are in corner houses, and the Moon is in the 11th house. Then the person gets the highest length of life. Venus is in Pisces in the 1st house. The Moon is in the 8th house, and good planets look at it. Jupiter is in a corner house. Then life is 100 years. Next: the lord of the 1st house is in the 8th, and the Moon is in the 10th house. The rule goes on in the next verse.
Simple meaning: Late Sagittarius rising with planets in high signs gives a full life. Other rules give 100 years.
वागीशेवीर्ययुक्तेनवमभवनगाःसर्वखेटाःशतायुःकर्केंगेजीवचंद्रौसहजरिपुभवेसत्कविज्ञौचकेंद्रे ॥
Strong Jupiter with all planets in the 9th gives 100 years. Another rule gives 85 years.
क्रूराःसौम्यांशयाताउपचयगृहगाःकातराःकंटकस्थाःसौम्याव्योमार्कसंख्यायदितनुपकुजौरंध्रगौनोपरायुः ॥
Weak bad planets in growth houses and good planets in corner houses give the highest life, 120 years.
युग्मर्क्षांशंगतावाव्ययधनगृहगाश्चेच्छुभाःशीतभानुःसंपूर्णोलग्नयायीशतमिहजनितामिंदिरामंदिरंस्यात् ॥
Good planets well placed and a full Moon in the 1st house give 100 years and wealth.
