स्वोच्चस्वांशवर्ज्यं शनौ चतुर्थस्थाने वा कर्कटराशौ वा वर्तमाने बाल्ये रोगबाहुल्योपशमाय शनिप्रीतये प्रागुक्तं जपहोमादिकं कुर्यात् तल्लिंगोपदर्शनात् तत्कालीनग्रहदशा विचारणीया ।
Saturn may be in the 4th house or in Cancer. He is not in his high sign or his own navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). The person may be a child at that time. Then japa (repeating a mantra) and homa (fire offering) should be done to please Saturn. This is as told before. It is done to ease the many illnesses. When these signs are seen, the dasha (planet period) running at that time should be examined.
