यथोक्तं जातके ॥विकलेक्षणोऽर्कलग्ने तैमिरिकोऽजेच भे तु रात्र्यंधः ।बुद्बुददृष्टिः कर्किणि काणो व्ययगे शशांके वा ॥
As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says: with the Sun in the lagna (rising sign), the eyes are damaged. With the Sun in Aries, sight is dim. With the Sun in its own sign, night blindness comes. With the Sun in Cancer, the sight is like bubbles. With the Moon in the 12th house, the person is blind in one eye. (Our text is unclear here: the word "bhe" in the second line seems to mean the Sun's own sign, as the prose below reads it.)
