Danger from snakes, wounds, destruction of cattle, danger from animals, diseases due to imbalance of bile and wind, imprisonment, etc., will be the results if Rahu be in the 8th or the 12th from the Ascendant or be aspected by or associated with malefics. There will be loss of wealth if Rahu be in the 2nd and great danger of premature death if he be in the 7th. The remedial measures to be adopted to obtain relief from the above evil effects are Naga Puja, offering food to Brahmins and Mrityunjaya Japa. They will help in the prolongation of longevity.

धनस्थानं गते राहौ धननाशं महदभयम्‌ । सप्तमस्थानगे वापि ह्यपमृत्युर्भयं वदेत्‌ ॥12॥
