लग्नेशो यदि दुर्बलः पापैर्युक्तः परस्थितः। आरोग्यहीनतां याति जातको व्याधिपीडितः॥
lagneśo yadi durbalaḥ pāpairyuktaḥ parasthitaḥ | ārogya-hīnatāṃ yāti jātako vyādhipīḍitaḥ ||
If the lord of the lagna is weak, conjoined with malefics and posited in an enemy's house, the native becomes devoid of health and afflicted by disease.
लग्ने रवौ भूमिसुतेन दृष्टे गुल्मक्षयश्वासनिपीडितः स्यात् । भौमे विलग्ने शानिसूर्यदृष्टे वसूरिरोगाभिहतो मनुष्यः ॥ ६२॥
lagne ravau bhūmisutena dṛṣṭe gulmakṣayaśvāsanipīḍitaḥ syāt | bhaume vilagne śānisūryadṛṣṭe vasūrirogābhihato manuṣyaḥ ||
When the Sun stands in the ascendant aspected by Mars, one is tormented by abdominal tumour (gulma), consumption and asthma; when Mars occupies the lagna aspected by Saturn and the Sun, the person is stricken with the disease of vasuri (urinary calculus).
पैतोल्बणं याति रवौ रिपुस्थे पापेक्षिते पापमन्विते च । भानौ सरन्ध्रे विबले धराजे पापे धनस्थे तु तथैव वाच्यम् ॥ ६८॥
paitolbaṇaṃ yāti ravau ripusthe pāpekṣite pāpamanvite ca | bhānau sarandhre vibale dharāje pāpe dhanasthe tu tathaiva vācyam ||
Violent bilious (paittika) swelling arises when the Sun occupies the house of enemies (the sixth) aspected by or conjoined with malefics; the same must be declared when the Sun, bereft of strength, stands in the eighth, or when Mars, afflicted by malefics, occupies the second house.
लग्नेशषष्ठाधिपती दिनेशयुक्तौ ज्वरं चन्द्रसमन्वितौ चेत् । जलप्रमादं क्षितिसूनुयुक्तौ युद्धेन वा स्फोटकराशिभिर्वा ॥ ७२॥
lagneśaṣaṣṭhādhipatī dineśayuktau jvaraṃ candrasamanvitau cet | jalapramādaṃ kṣitisūnuyuktau yuddhena vā sphoṭakarāśibhirvā ||
If the lords of the ascendant and the sixth house are joined by the Sun, fever afflicts the native; if those two lords join the Moon, there is calamity through water; if they join Mars, destruction comes through battle or through eruptive (sphota) diseases.
हित्वा लग्नपति विलग्नसहितेष्वन्त्येषु कुष्ठं वदेत् नीलं भानुसुते तु चण्डकिरणे रक्तं सितं भूमिजे । मन्देन क्षितिजेन वा यदि युते कर्क्यन्त्यनक्रांशके केन्द्रे शोभनयोगदृष्टिरहिते कुष्टं वदेद् देहिनाम् ॥ ८६॥
hitvā lagnapati vilagnasahiteṣvantyeṣu kuṣṭhaṃ vadet | nīlaṃ bhānusute tu caṇḍakiraṇe raktaṃ sitaṃ bhūmije | mandena kṣitijena vā yadi yute karkyantyanakrāṃśake | kendre śobhanayogadṛṣṭirahite kuṣṭaṃ vaded dehinām ||
One should predict leucoderma-like skin disease (kushtha) where the lagna lord stands joined with the lagna among the terminal houses: bluish discolouration from the fierce-rayed Rahu, reddish and whitish marks from the earth-born (Mars). Likewise, when the Moon is joined with Saturn or Mars in the final navamsa of Cancer placed in a kendra lacking benefic yogas and aspects, skin disease should be pronounced for embodied beings.
