Chapter 17

Exit from the world

1. When Saturn in course of his transit passes through the sign and navamsa of the lord of 8th or the 12th with respect of any house, that house would be treated as having been destroyed. The same will happen when Saturn transits houses that are triangular to these two houses.

Saturn as the determinator of death

2. Find out the sign 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 in the course of his transit Saturn passes that sign or navamsa or its trikona position, death may take place of the native.

3.-4. The death of the native may take place when Jupiter in course of transit passes through the sign or navamsa occupied by any of the following three planets or their triangular position

(1) The lord of the decanate that is rising

(2) The lord of the 8th house

(3) The lord of the 22nd decanate

(4) Find out the position of

(i) Dwadasamsa sign of the Sun,

(ii) The navamsa of the lord of the 8th house

(iii) The .navamsa of the lord of the Lagna.

Jupiter or the Sun, when in course of his transit, passes through any of these signs or those triangular to them, the death of the native may take place.

Notes — In the above verses it has been indicated that the death may take place when Saturn, Jupiter and the Sun transit certain positions. This does not mean that death will definitely take place at the time specified as Saturn makes a full round of the Zodiac in 30 years, Jupiter in 12 years and the Sun in one year. The intention of indicating the eifects of these transits is that if the time of death may have to be determined during the dasa of a maraka planet, these transits should be taken into account.

5. The death of the native takes place when the Moon in course of his transit passes the sign occupied by the lord of the 8th or the Sun or a sign triangular to them. All that has been stated in the above verses should be examined with reference to the Lagna as well as the sign occupied by the Moon (Chandra Lagna).

6. Subtract the longitude of Yamakantaka from the longitude of the lord of the Lagna, subtract the longitude of Saturn from that of the Moon. The death of the native will take place when Jupiter in the course of his transit passes through the sign and its navamsa indicated by each of these differences or their trikona position.

Subtract the longitude of Mars from that of Rahu. When Jupiter in the course of his transit passes through the navamsa or the sign thus indicate by the difference, the death of the brother may take place.

7. Subtract the longitude of the Sun from that of the Yamakantaka, the remainder may be marked as (A). When Jupiter in the course of his transit passes through the sign and navamsa indicated by (A) and the trikona position from it, the death of the native's father may take place.

Subtract the longitude of Mandi or Gulika from the longitude of the Yamakantaka. Mark the difference as (A). When Jupiter in the course of his transit passes the sign or navamsa indication or its trikona position, the death of the native's father may take place.

Subtract the longitude of the Moon from that of the Sun and Mark it (B). When Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign and or navamsa indicated by (B) or the trikona position from them, the death of the native's mother may take place.

Subtract the longitude of Mandi from the longitude of the Moon and mark it (C). When Saturn in the course of his tranist passes through the sign or navamsa indicated by (C) and the trikona position from them, the death of the native's mother may take place.

8. Subtract the longitude of the lord of the nakshatra fifth from the Janma nakshatra, the longitude of the Yamakantaka. When Jupiter passes through in course of his transit, the sign or navamsa indicated by the difference or the trikona position from them, the death of the native's son may take place.

Determination of Native's Death

9. Add the longitudes of the Lagna, the Sun and Mandi. Find out the location of the lord of the sign indicated by the result. When Jupiter in the course of his transit passes through the sign so occupied by such lord or the trikona position from it, the death of the native may take place.

10. Subtract the longitude of Saturn from that of Mars. When Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign or navamsa indicated by the difference or the trikona position from them, the death of the native may take place.

Add the longitudes of the five upagrahas reckoned from Dhuma. When Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the particular drekkana or the sign indicated by the aggregate, the death of the native may take place.

11. Add the longitudes of the Lagna and Mandi. The rasi and its navamsa indicated by the aggregate will give clue to the particular month and the portion thereof in a year in which the death of the native may be expected to happen (i.e. When the Sun arrives at this particular sign and the particular navamsa thereof, the person will die).

Add the longitude of Mandi and the Moon. The Moon will be posited in the sign indicated by the aggregate at the time of death.

Add the longitudes of the Lagna, Mandi and the Moon. The sign of the Lagna at the time of death, will be indicated by the sum total of the above three longitudes.

12. Find out the navamsa, the Dwadasmsa and drekkana indicated by the longitude of Mandi. The death of the native takes places when —

(1) Jupiter in course of his transit passes through the above navamsa.

(2) Saturn in course of the transit passes through the above dwadasamsa.

(3) The Sun in course of his transit passes through the above drekkana and the Trikona position from it, and the Lagna is the sign occupied by the lord of the sign denoted by the aggregate of the longitudes of the Lagna (at birth), the Moon and Mandi.

13. Multiply separately the longitudes of Mandi and Saturn by 9. Add both the results. When Saturn in course of his transit arrives at the Sign or navamsa indicated by the aggregate, the death of the native may take place.

14. Subtract the longitude of Yamakantaka from the Longitude of the Lagna. The death of the native will definitely take place when Jupiter in course of his transit arrives at the sign or navamsa indicated by the difference.

15. Add the longitudes of the lord of the 6th, 8th and 12th. The death of the native takes place when Saturn in course of his transit passes through the sign or navamsa indicated by the aggregate or in trikona position to them.

16. Find out the Drekkana of the Lagna and where the lord of that Drekkana is posited. There will be danger to the life of the native when Jupiter in course of his trainsit passes through this position or its trikona.

When Saturn transits the house owned by the lord of the Drekkana of the 8th house or its Trikona, the death of the native may take place.

17. Find the weakness of the following sets of planets—

(1) The lord of the 8th house from the Lagna and the lord of the 8th house from the Moon.

(2) The lords of the 22nd decanate from the Lagna and the Moon.

(3) The Moon and Mandi.

When Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the navamsa of the weakest amongst them or his trikona, the death of the native may take place.

18. See the navamsa in which the lord of the Lagna is posited. Mark it as (A). Similarly mark the sign of the lord of 8th house as (B). When Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign as far away from (B) as is (A) from Aries, the death of the native may take place. This is the view of the learned Astrologers who are also versed in many Shastras.

19. Death may also take place when the Moon in the course of her transit passes through the house occupied by the lord of 22nd decanate counted from that of the Moon at the time of birth or its trikona position or through the Lagna sign, the 8th house or the 12th house.

20. The death of the native may take place when

(1) The Sun in the course of his transit passes through the sign occupied by the lord of the 8th house.

(2) The Moon in the course of her transit passes through thesign occupied by the Sun or through the nakshatra occupied by the lord of the 8th house.

21. If it is a case of night birth find out in which sign Gulika is posited. The death of the native takes place when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the trikona position of that sign. In the case of day birth the death of the native may take place when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign 7th to that occupied by Gulika.

22. Add the longitudes of Jupiter and Rahu. The native will face danger of death when Jupiter in the course of his transit passes through the sign denoted by the sum of the two longitudes or its trikona position.

23. The death of the native takes place when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the house occupied by the lord of the decanate of the 8th house.

The death of the native may also take place when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the navamsa sign occupied by the lord of the 8th house reckoned from the Lagna.

24. There is likelihood of the death of the native when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign and navamsa occupied by him at birth or its trines.

The same may happen when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign or navamsa occupied by the lord of sign in which the Moon is posited or its trines.

Death of the native may also take place when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign or navamsa occupied by the lord of the 6th from the Lagna and its trines.

25. In the case of a night birth death of the native may happen when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign or navamsa occupied by the Moon or the Mandi.

In the case of a day birth, the death may take place when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through the sign occupied by the Sun or through the 5th, 7th, or 9th from the position occupied by the Sun.

26, Find out how far Mandi is removed from the lord of the 8th house. When Saturn in the course of his transit arrives at the sign so far removed from Mandi, death may take place: So say the revered preceptors.

27. The death will definitely take place when the Sun in the course of his transit passes through the 6th, 7th or 12th house reckoned from Venus: this is the verdict of the preceptors.

28. The death may take place when Saturn, Jupiter Sun and the Moon in course of their transits pass through (1) the house occupied by the lord of the 8th, (2) the house occupied by the lord of the 12th, (3) the house occupied by the lord of the 6th, (4) the house occupied by the 8th house decanate i.e. the 22nd decanate and (5) the house occupied by Mandi.

The same may happen when these in the course of their transits pass through the navamsas of the five planets state above or their trikona positions.
