The sisters and brothers that a person may have born after him will be as many, at all events, as there are planets in his horoscope conjoined with the lord of the bhratrubhava, its karaka, the planet aspecting it and the one occupying it, provided out of these four an account is taken only of those that may predominate in strength. If the four planets already mentioned be depressed, eclipsed, or in an inimical sign, their influence will be to do away with every brother or sister as they are born. In case these planets be friendly and possessed of strength, they secure long life to every one of the persons' younger brothers and sisters.
