Kushtha: the stars

And: [Saturn] in the 8th house gives birth to one who tends to be overcome by kushtha (skin disease) and fistula. He is short-lived and fails in all he begins. He is a man who is always a gambler.

The special point is that the planet here is Saturn.

Also: The one born is overcome by piles and kushtha (skin disease). He is without pity and without shame. This is when [the Sun] is in Leo and Venus looks at it.

Also: In the period of the Sun in its nicha (low point), it is the same. When Mercury runs in the period of the Moon, it is the same. This is seen from the words: with kushtha (skin disease) and itching troubles.

Rahu and the Sun in the 8th house may bring kushtha (skin disease). To ease it, he should do japa (repeating a mantra) and the rest, as told. It pleases the Sun and Rahu. The same should be done for Mars joined with them. Kushtha may show from Venus, the Sun and Saturn joined. Then he should do as said before. It is done to please all three planets.

The Sun in the house of Mars, looked at by Venus, may bring kushtha (skin disease). To ease it, he should do japa (repeating a mantra) and the rest by the rule, to please the Sun. Saturn in the 8th house may bring kushtha. To ease it, the told rite is done to please Saturn. The Sun in Leo, looked at by Venus, may bring kushtha. For that, the same told rite is done for the Sun. When kushtha shows in the period of the Sun in its nicha (low point), it is the same.

Next, the cause and remedy of shvitra kushtha (white patches on the skin) are told. This is from the view of the jataka (birth chart reading) text.

There may be pain of the head and throat, white patches, a sudden fever and pain. In the period of the Sun, in the sub-period of Venus, enemies may drive the person from his country.

Next, the sub-period of Venus within the Sun's period may bring shvitra (white patches on the skin). To ease it, and to please Venus, he should do the rite told before.

Next, in the Sun's period, in the sub-period of Mercury, pama (an itchy skin rash) tends to come. To ease it, and to please Mercury, he should do japa (repeating a mantra) and the rest as before.

Next, from the stars, the cause and remedy are told for dadru (ringworm) and vicharchika (a weeping skin rash). The same goes for pama (an itchy skin rash) and the like.

As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says: The person has dadru (ringworm), vicharchika (a weeping skin rash) and the like. He has pama (an itchy skin rash) and kushtha (skin disease), and his body is scorned. This is when Mercury enters the Sun's period. He then becomes a target of enemies.

Next, the Sun's period may bring dadru (ringworm) and vicharchika (a weeping skin rash), through Venus and Mercury. For peace from these, he should do japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering) and the rest. It is by the rule, as said before. It is done to please Mercury and Venus.
