Verse 1 — Pindayu — Bodily Lifespan via Navamsha

पिण्डायुर्नाम जीवस्य देहस्थस्य यथाक्रमम्। नवांशक्रमतो ज्ञेयः पितृसोमकुजादिभिः॥ बलयुक्ते ग्रहे दीर्घमल्पं दुर्बलगे भवेत्। एवं पिण्डायुगणना होरासारे प्रशस्यते॥

piṇḍāyurnāma jīvasya dehasthasya yathākramam | navāṃśakramato jñeyaḥ pitṛsomakujadibhiḥ || balayukte grahe dīrghamalpaṃ durbalage bhavet | evaṃ piṇḍāyugaṇanā horāsāre praśasyate ||

The Pindayu (bodily lifespan) of the embodied being is to be known, in due order, through the navamsha sequence by the determinants Sun, Moon, Mars, and others. When the significator planet is strong, the life is long; when weak, short. Thus the Pindayu computation is praised in Hora Sara.
