89) The directions of the house are represented by two houses beginning with Meña for each cardinal point and a dual house for an intermediate quarter. The legs of the cot are represented by the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th houses respectively, as in the case of a house.
90) The number of women in attendance in the laying-in chamber corresponds to that of the planets that are situated between the lagna and the Moon. The persons inside and outside are read from the planet in visible and invisible halves of the Zodiac.
Notes: In the Zodiac, one half is above the horizon and the other below it. So they are called Dåçyärdha (visible half) and Adåçyärdha (invisible half). The 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th and the portion of the Lagna that has risen come under the Visible Half. The 7th is called the Astaräçi or the Setting Sign. Even in this Sign, there are two parts as in the Lagna.
91) The child’s body will correspond to the characteristics of the planet that occupies the Lagna, or of the one that is strongest in the chart. Its complexion will be like that of the Moon’s Navämça. The delineation of the native’s limbs from head to foot, should be done on the basis of the 12 Räçis commencing from the ascendant (as explained below).
Notes: The colour or complexion corresponds to that of the Lord of the Moon’s Naväàça Räçi.
92-93) When any of the three decanates of a Räçi rises, the native’s limbs are allotted to the different houses in the following manner:- (1) When the first decanate rises, those of the 12 houses counted from the Lagna onwards represent the head, eye, ear, nostril, cheek, jaw and mouth on the right and left sides. Similarly, the second decanates of the houses represented in order are the neck, shoulder, side, heart, arm, chest and navel on two sides. The last ones likewise represent the pelvis, the genital organ, anus, thighs, knees, shanks and feet. Notes: Suppose the first decanate of Meña rises, then the first ones of the 12 houses will represent in order the head, the right eye, right ear, right nostril, right cheek, right jaw, mouth, left jaw, left cheek, left nostril, left ear and the left eye.
94-95) Whichever decanate Räçi is occupied by malefics, will have a wound or ulcer in the corresponding limb of the native; if the planet is benefic, the particular limb will have a mole or mark. The mark will be natural or inborn when the conjoining planet is posited in its own Sign or Aàça that is a fixed Räçi; otherwise it will be an accidental one. If the planet concerned be Saturn, the wound would be one caused by wind or stone; if Mars, by poison, weapon or fire; if Mercury, by earth (i.e., mud) and the Sun, by wood, animals or horned animals of the class of goats.
96) There will undoubtedly be a wound caused by malefics in the limb signified by the decanate which is occupied by three planets. A Decanate that is aspected which is occupied by three planets. A Decanate that is aspected by malefics will cause a mole in the corresponding limb, while one occupied by benefics, a good mark.
97-100) The Sun has a square body, pink eyes, bilious constitution and sparse hair; the Moon has a round body, wind and phlegm in constitution, intelligence, measured or slow speech and attractive eyes; Mars is youthful, possessed of fierce eyes, fickle and bilious in constitution, intelligence; Mercury has all the three humours in his constitution, practical jokes, appreciates tastes and speaks cogently or with pun; Jupiter has pink hairs and eyes, a tall body, phlegmatic nature and great erudition and wisdom; Venus has a charming body, attractive eyes, black and curly hair and enjoys happiness; and Saturn has tawny eyes, a bluish or black complexion, coarse hair and indolent nature.
101) Muscles are ruled by Saturn; bones are ruled by the Sun; blood is ruled by the Moon; skin is ruled by Mercury; semen is ruled by Venus; marrow is ruled by Jupiter and fat is ruled by Mars.
102) When the ascendant, the Moon and malefics are all posited in the last portion of Räçis; when malefics occupy the kendras from the Moon; when malefics and benefics occupy the first half and second half respectively and when Scorpio is the rising sign, the child will die soon.
103) If there be malefics both in the ascendant and in the 7th house, and if the Moon, conjoined with malefics and not be aspected by benefics, the child would certainly meet with its end.
104) When the weak Moon occupies the 12th house, malefics the ascendant and the 8th house, and benefics are not in kendras; or when the Moon, not conjoined with benefics, occupies the Lagna, the 7th, 8th or 12th house, un-aspected by benefics posited in Kendra etc, the child perishes.
105) If the Moon be posited in the 6th or 8th house and be aspected by malefics, the child will die soon after birth. On the other hand, if the Moon in the above yoga is aspected by benefics also, it will die in the 8 year, will follow, if the Moon is aspected both by malefics and benefics.
106) If the weak Moon is in the lagna or is hemmed in between malefics, or when the malefics occupy the 8th house or kendras; or when the Moon is posited in the 4th, 7th or 8th house, or when the Lagna is surrounded by malefics, the child will die likewise.
107-108) The child will die along with its mother, if malefics occupy the 7th from the Moon, provided there is no benefic aspect. The same prediction will have to be made when the Moon occupies the end of a R§ªi without any benefic aspect, and malefics, the 5th and 9th houses; or when the Moon occupies the Lagna and malefics in the 7th house.
109-110) If the Moon is eclipsed at the time and malefics occupy the 8th house, both the mother and child will die soon. The death will be due to a surgical operation, if the Sun be in the Lagna and strong malefics in the 8th house.
111) When Cancer (Karka) rises along with the Moon and Jupiter in it, Mercury and Venus occupy Kendras, and the rest the 3rd, 6th and 11th house, the child will indeed be blessed with an unlimited span of life.
