धर्मेशे निधनं प्राप्ते भाग्ययोगो न जायते । भाग्येशो देवमन्त्री चेदष्टमेऽपि शुभप्रदः ॥ १ ॥
dharmeśe nidhanaṃ prāpte bhāgyayogo na jāyate | bhāgyeśo devamantrī cedaṣṭame'pi śubhapradaḥ || 1 ||
Generally, the 9th lord in the 8th house destroys fortune; but if Jupiter is the 9th lord (as in Aries/Cancer ascendants) and occupies the 8th house, it becomes exceedingly auspicious.
रन्ध्रेशभाग्यनाथौ चेत् सम्बद्धौ च परस्परम् । रन्ध्रेशस्य दशाकाले कीर्तिं राज्यं लभेन्नरः ॥ २ ॥
randhreśabhāgyanāthau cet sambaddhau ca parasparam | randhreśasya daśākāle kīrtiṃ rājyaṃ labhennaraḥ || 2 ||
If the lord of the 8th and the lord of the 9th are related by conjunction or aspect, the native attains royal power, executive authority, and fame during the Dasa of the 8th lord.
