Chapter 17: Exit from the World

With respect to any Bhava, when Saturn in his transit should arrive at the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 8th or the 12th house reckoned from that Bhava, the total destruction of that Bhava should be expected. The same will be the case if Saturn transits houses that are triangular to these two houses

Ascertain the Rasi and Navamsa occupied by (1) the lord of the 8th house (2) Gulika (3) Saturn or ( 4) the lord of the 22nd decanate (counted from that of the Lagna). When Saturn transits that Rasi or Navamsa or its triangular position, death may happen.

Find the lord of the decanate that is rising. Find also the lord of the 8th house as also that of the 22nd decanate. When Jupiter transits the Rasi or Amsa occupied by any of these 3 planets, or its triangular position, death may take place.

When the Sun transits (1) the Rasi that represents his own Dwadasamsa (2) the Navamsa Rasi occupied by the lord of the 8th house, or (3) the Navamsa Rasi occupied by the lord of the Lagna or their Trikona positions, death may be expected. is another reading in the 2nd line. According to this Jupiter takes the place of the Sun.

When the Moon transits the Rasi or Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 8th house or the Sun or their triangular house, death may take place. All these (the above stated) should be considered with reference to the Lagna or the Moon.

Subtract the figures of Yamakantaka from those of the lord of the rising sign. Subtract the figures of the Moon from those of Saturn. Find out the Rasi and its Navamsa indicated by each of these differences. When Jupiter transits the Rasi or Navamsa indicated in either of these results or their Trikona position, the native's death will take place. Subtract the figures for Mars from those of Rahu. When Jupiter comes to occupy the Navamsa or the Rasi thus indicated by the difference, the death of a brother may happen.

Subtract the figures for Yamakantaka from those of the Sun. When Jupiter transits the Rasi or its Navamsa thus found or its triangular position, the death of the father may happen. Subtract the figures for Mandi from those of Yamakantaka. When Saturn transits the Rasi or Navamsa thus found or its triangular position, the same event may happen. Subtract the figures of the Moon from those of the Sun ; during Jupiter's transit through the Rasi or Navamsa thus indicated or its triangular position, the death of the mother may come to pass. The same event may also happen when Saturn passes through the Rasi or Navamsa indicated by subtracting the figures of Mandi from those of the Moon, or its triangular position.

Subtract the figures of Yamakantaka from those of the planet ruling the 5th star reckoned from the natal one. When Jupiter transits the house indicated by the result or its Trikona position, the son's death may be expected.

Find the house occupied by the lord of the sign indicated by the aggregate of the figures for the Lagna, the Sun and Mandi. When Jupiter arrives in his progress through the orbit at the Rasi found as above or in a triangular sign thereof; the native meets with his death.

Subtract the figures for Saturn from those of Mandi and find out the Rasi and its Navamsa indicated by the difference. When Saturn arrives at this Navamsa or the Rasi thus found or their triangular position, death will take place. The same event may also happen when Saturn arrives at the particular Drekkana of the particular Rasi indicated by the aggregate of the figures of the five Upagrahas reckoned from Dhuma.

Find out the Rasi and its Navamsa indicated by the sum-total of the figures for the Lagna and Mandi. The Rasi and its Navamsa, say the Astrologers, will give the clue to th.e particular month and the portion thereof in a year in which a person's death may be expected to happen ; (i. e., when the Sun arrives at this particular Rasi and the particular Navamsa thereof, the person will die). The Moon at the time of the decease will occupy the Rasi indicated by the total of the figures for Mandi and the Moon ; and the rising sign will be that denoted by the total of the figures for the Lagna Mandi and the Moon.

Ascertain the Navamsa, the Dwadasamsa and the Drekkana indicated by the figures for Mandi. When Jupiter arrives at the Navamsa, Saturn at the Dwadasamsa and the Sun at a triangular sign from the Drekkana in question, and when the Lagna is the Rasi occupied by the lord of the sign denoted by the aggregate of the figures for the Lagna, the Moon and Mandi, death will take place. is another reading in the 4th (Pada). The translation will be “or when the Sun transits the Rasi and Amsa denoted by the aggregate of the figures”

Multiply by 9 the figures for Mandi and Saturn. Add the two products and find out the particular Rasi and its Navamsa which the total indicates. When Saturn passes through this, death will happen.

Subtract the figures of Yamakantaka from those of the lord of the rising sign and find out the Rasi and its Navamsa indicated by the difference. When Jupiter comes to occupy this Navamsa in the Rasi thus found, death will take place without doubt

Find out the sign of the zodiac indicated by the sum-total of the figures for the lords of the 6th, the 12th and the 8th Bhavas. When Saturn is in this house or in a triangular sign from it, death has to be apprehended.

Find the Rasi, etc., occupied by the lord of the decanate that is rising. When Jupiter transits this position or its Trikona, the native meets with death. When Saturn transits the house owned by the lord of the decanate of the 8th house, or its Trikona, the same event may be predicted.

Find the weakest of the three sets of planets, viz., (1) the lord of (1) the 8th house and (2) the 22nd decanate, both counted from the Lagna and the Moon, and (3) the Moon and Mandi. When Saturn transits a Trikona position to the Navamsa of any of the above planets, death may happen.

Find the Rasi representing the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the Lagna. See how far it is removed from Mesha. When Saturn transits a Rasi so far removed from the Rasi occupied by the lord of the 8th house, death may happen, say those conversant with the various schools of astrology.

Death may also happen when the Moon in her transit passes through the house occupied by the lord of the 22nd decanate counted from that of the Moon at the time of birth, or its Trikona position or through the Lagna Rasi, the 8th house or the 12th house.

When the Sun passes through the Rasi occupied by the lord of the 8th house and the Moon, through the Rasi occupied by the Sun or through the asterism occupied by the lord of the 8th house, demise will happen.

When Saturn transits (1) the Rasi that is triangular to the one occupied by Gulika in the case of those born in the night or (2) the 7th Rasi therefrom in the case of those born in the day, death may happen.

When Jupiter in his transit passes through the Rasi indicated by the sum of the figures for Jupiter and Rahu or through its trines, death may be apprehended.

When Saturn goes to the house occupied by the lord of the decanate of the 8th house from the Lagna, death may happen. The same event may be expected when Saturn passes through the Rasi owning the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the 8th house.

When Saturn in his transit passes through the Rasi and Amsa occupied by him at birth or its trines, death may be expected. The same event may be apprehended when Saturn transits the Rasi and Amsa occupied by the lord of the sign occupied by the Moon at birth or of the 8th house or its trines.

If the birth be at night, death will happen when Saturn transits through the Rasi and Amsa occupied by the Moon or Mandi ; if the birth be at day, death may be expected when Saturn transits the Rasi and Amsa occupied by the sign or which is the 7th, the 5th or the 9th from that occupied by the Sun.

Ascertain how far Mandi is removed from the lord of the 8th house. When Saturn in his transit arrives at a Rasi so far removed from Mandi, death may happen ; so say the eminent astrologers.

When the Sun transits the 6th, the 7th or 12th place reckoned from Venus at birth, death is sure to happen ; so say the eminent astrologers.

Find out where the following planets are posited at a birth ; (1) the lord of the 8th (2) the lord of the 12th (3) the lord of the 6th, (4) the lord of the 8th house decanate, i. e., the 22nd decanate and (5) Mandi. When Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun and the Moon in their transit pass through these houses, death may take place. The same may also happen when these transit the Navamsas of the five Grahas stated above or their Trikona positions.
