The text quotes a line about a person with no home, who looks old early.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Akalapalita (early grey hair) - the stars
अथाकालपलितस्य जातकाभिप्रायेणहेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च ।
Next, according to the jataka (birth chart reading), the text gives the cause of early grey hair, and its remedy.
Akalapalita (early grey hair) - the stars
यथोक्तं जातकेदोषैर्विविधैः ख्यातं दिनकरदृष्टं नरं प्रमाणस्थम् ।सौरेण दृष्टमूर्त्तिर्वलीयुतांगं तिरस्कृतं नीचम् ॥
As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says: [When] the Sun looks at [the Moon], [it makes] a man known for many faults. He keeps to measure. [When] Saturn looks at [the Moon], his limbs are wrinkled. He is looked down on and low.
Akalapalita (early grey hair) - the stars
चंद्रःकरोतीति शेषः । शनिचंद्रप्रीतये यथोक्तमेव जपहोमादिकं कुर्यात् । मकरांशस्थे भौमेप्येवम् । आश्रयशौचविहीनो वृद्धाकारः इत्यादि वचनात् ।
The words "the Moon does this" are to be added. For Saturn and the Moon, one should do the japa (repeating a mantra) and homa (fire offering) told before. This is to please them. The same holds when Mars is in a Capricorn navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). This is because of the saying: "He is without a home and without cleanliness, and looks like an old man."
Unit 101.3 says the same japa and homa hold when Mars is in a Capricorn navamsha.
