There will be obstacles in ventures due to interference by enemies and quarrels, if Ketu be in the 8th or the 12th from the lord of the Dasa (the Moon) or be aspected by or associated with malefics. If Ketu be in the 2nd or 7th there will be danger of affliction of the body with diseases. Mrityunjaya Japa will give relief in all the evil effects and will ensure gain of wealth and property with the beneficence of lord Shiva.

गोमहिष्यादिलाभं च भुक्त्यन्ते चार्थनाशनम् । पापयुक्तेऽथवा दृष्टे दायेशाद्रन्धरिःफगे ॥50॥
