Beneficial effects like happiness from wife and children, satisfaction, increase of friends, gain of clothes etc. and renown, will be derived if Ketu be in the 3rd, the 6th, the 10th or the 11th from the Ascendant. If Ketu be lord of the 2nd or 7th (or be in any of those houses), there will be danger of premature death. The remedial measures for obtaining relief from the evil effects are recitation of mantras of Goddess Durga (Shat Chandi Patha) and giving a goat in charity.

लग्नादुपचये केतौ योगकारक संयुते । शुभांशे शुभवर्गे च शुभकर्मफलोदयः ॥62॥
