If Saturn and Mars aspect the ascendant as the luminaries join Rāhu (elsewhere), the child will live only for a fortnight. Immediate death of the child along with its mother will occur if Saturn is in the 10th, the Moon in the 6th and Mars in the 7th. One will immediately go to the abode of Yama if Saturn is in the ascendant while the Moon and Jupiter are in their order in the 8th and the 3rd. Only a month will be the span of one's life who has the Sun in the 9th, Mars in the 7th and Jupiter and Venus in the 11th. Any planet in the 12th will be a source of short life — specifically the luminaries, Venus and Rāhu. But the aspect of one of these four planets (on the 12th) will counteract such evils.

यदि चन्द्र 1-7-9 में पाप-युक्त हो व कोई शुभ-ग्रह दृष्टि-योग न करे — शिशु के लिए मृत्युकारक। सन्ध्या (प्रातः/सायं) में जन्म, जन्म-लग्न में चन्द्र-होरा, अथवा सन्ध्या-समय में गण्डान्त (कर्क/वृश्चिक/मीन का अन्तिम नवांश), चन्द्रमा व पाप-ग्रह चारों केन्द्रों में हों — बालक की तुरन्त मृत्यु।
