Pains in the body, loss in agricultural ventures, imprisonment, distress to wife and children, will be the inauspicious effects, if Mercury be in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th from the lord of the Dasa (the Moon) or be in his sign of debilitation. If Mercury be the lord of the 2nd or 7th, there will be fear of fever. The remedial measures to be adopted for obtaining relief from the evil effects, are recitation of Vishnu Sahasra Nam and giving a goat in charity.

दशेश से 6, 8, 12 में या नीच में बुध हो तो बुधान्तर्दशा में शरीरकष्ट, खेती-बाड़ी या व्यवसाय की हानि, भूमिहानि, कारावास, स्त्रीपुत्र को पीड़ा होती है । यदि बुध 2, 7 भावेश हो तो ज्वरपीड़ा व बहुत भय होता है । इसकी शान्ति के लिए मेषदान व विष्णुसहस्रनाम का पाठ करना चाहिए ।
