Notes: According to C.G. Rajan’s Tamil translation
of Parashar Hora. Ch. V, note, that longevity cannot
be decided till the native is 24. But Jyotisharnava
Navaneetam (a Sanskrit work with Telugu translation)
suggests that. up to l2 nothing definite can be said
about longevity. Phala Deepika (Ch. 13, Sloka 3) and
Jataka Parijata (Ch. 5, Slokas 1 and 2), which have
similar verses also say, that up to 12, longevity
cannot be decided. This is because, the child is
covered by its mother’s fate in the first four
years, by its father’s fate in the next four years
and by its Purva Karma thereafter up to 12, as per
Mantreswara. Only after 12, will the child be
governed by the effects of the Grahas in its own
horoscope, as far as its longevity is concerned Also
see Slokas 4-6, Ch. X of Sarvartha Chintamani.
The child born, when there is Lagna Sandhi is either
born, dead, or short lived (if born). Should such
Lagna receive a Drishti from malefics, the said
results are sure to follow. Birth in Gandanta
Nakshatr is destructive of the whole family. Should
such a child, however, live, then it becomes a king
with an army of elephants and horses.
Notes: For Gandanta Nakshatra, see Sloka 14, Ch. I,
supra. Apart from Lagna Sandhi, there are other
Sandhis, as explained in Sloka 36, Ch. V, infra.
Sarvartha Chintamani, Ch. l0, s. 26-27,
Uttarakalamrita, Ch. 8, Sloka 9 and Saravali also
state, that, if a Gandanta native survives, he
becomes a king with elephants, horses etc., forming
his army.
Luminaries in Sahaj (3rd house)Bhava owned by a
malefic and yuti with malefics, make the child sick
and live up to 3 years only.
If Chandra joins Randhr’s lord in a Kendr,
whileAayur (8th house)Bhava is occupied by a Grah,
the child leaves this world soon after its birth.
Should the 7th from Chandra be occupied by Kuja and
Surya, while Rahu is in Lagna, death of the child
may be expected within ten days of birth.
Notes: Should Rahu be in Mesha, or Vushabha, or
Karkataka, as Lagna, he contributes good longevity.
Refer to Jatakadesa Marga (Ch.4), Saravali (Ch. 12,
s. 10), Jataka Parijata (Ch. 4, s. 90), Sarvartha
Chintamani, (Ch. 11, s. 16) and Jataka Marthanda, II
Part, (Ayurdhayadhyaya). The Slokas of Saravali,
Jataka Parijata and Sarvartha Chintarnani are
similar. So to say, if Rahu is in Mesha, or Vushabha,
or Karkataka in Lagna, while the rest of the
combination, as per the Sloka under comment is
present, there is good longevity.
Malefics in Matru (4th house) , Randhr, Dhana ( 2nd
house)and Vyaya (12th house) Bhava will cause
sickness and death in l0 days. Should a malefic be
in Kalatra (7th house) Bhava from rising Dreshkan
(22nd Dreshkan), while the waning Chandra is in
Lagna the child faces immediate death.
When all the Grahas are weak and positioned in Sahaj,
Ari, Bhagya (9th house) and Vyaya (12th house) Bhava,
the child lives either for 2 months, or 6 months.
While Lagna’s lord is in his debilitation Rasi, or
inAayur (8th house)Bhava, or is combust, the child’s
living becomes precarious and it is equal to a dead
one.
A child born under malefic Muhurtas, or, when a Ketu
is rising followed by fall of meteors, thunders
etc., it hardly lives.
The persons, who are born with severe Yogal
indicating adverse results, as explained by Yavanas
and others will only bring harm to the family.
A person born under an eclipse, or, when there is
Parivesh, or, when a malefic occupies Lagna, or
gives a Drishti to Lagna, lives only for three
fortnights, or for three months.
Notes: Birth on the day of eclipse is ominous. If
the Lagna is connected with many strong malefics by
yuti, or association, then also it is adverse for
longevity.
Should Lagna’s lord, the lord of Chandra Rasi and
the Navamsh lord of Chandra Rasi are all eclipsed,
the longevity is only for a few days.
Notes: The combustion of three Grahas are indicated,
namely that of Lagna Lord, dispositor of Chandra and
Navamsh lord of Chandra. Such combustion will prove
fatal to longevity and the child’s life is only for
a few days.
The four kinds of junctions, or conjunction of
Chandra with malefics will cause death (infant1) and
similar results follow, if Chandra is in aspect to
mllefics without benefic’s aspect, or company.
Notes: The four junctions, or Sandhi chathushtayas
are: 1) The twilight time, 2) The point, where two
Rasis meet, 3) The point, where two stars meet, 4)
The time, when two thithis meet.
Should Chandra be in the company of malefics only,
or, if she is in the 1st, 5th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or the
12th Bhava and be with malefics without benefic’s
aspect, or association death of the native will
occur.
Notes: The Sloka seems to suggest infant death.
Chandra, if connected with malefics should be helped
by benefics, so that infant death does not occur.
