Verse 1 — 8th and 6th Lords in Lagna Cause Chronic Ailments

अष्टमेशो यदा लग्ने रोगी भवति मानवः । षष्ठेशे लग्नगे चापि ज्ञातितो रोगतो भयम् ॥ १ ॥

aṣṭameśo yadā lagne rogī bhavati mānavaḥ | ṣaṣṭheśe lagnage cāpi jñātito rogato bhayam || 1 ||

If the 8th lord occupies the Lagna, the native possesses a sickly body; if the 6th lord is in Lagna, there is constant danger from illness, litigation, and relatives.

Verse 2 — Mars with Lagnesha and 6th Lord Causes Wounds and Surgery

लग्नेशे षष्ठनाथे च भौमेनावलोकनं युतम् । व्रणशस्त्राग्निभीतिं च प्राप्नोति मानवो ध्रुवम् ॥ २ ॥

lagneśe ṣaṣṭhanāthe ca bhaumenāvalokanaṃ yutam | vraṇaśastrāgnibhītiṃ ca prāpnoti mānavo dhruvam || 2 ||

If Mars conjoins or aspects the Lagna lord and the 6th lord, the native will inevitably suffer from wounds, surgical operations, fire accidents, or weapons.
