Now a combination for a short life is given. The lagna or the moon should be aspected by che lord of the eighth house; or the lord of the eighth house from the Moon or lagna must be aspected by Shani or Kuja. In both cases no benefic should aspect the lord of lagna or the lord of the sign occupied by the lord of lagna. Then even if his longevity is normally expected to be similar to that of Markandeya, the native has a very very short life.
