Stanza 41. — Note down the Thrisphuta Navamsa. Find out the expired portion in ghatis. Multiply this by 9, and divide the product by 27. Count the remainder from the Thrisphuta Nakshatra. The result is Mrityu Nakshatra. On that day the questioner will die. Chathursphuta Nakshatra also may be taken as Mrityu Nakshatra — not for the questioner but for any one in the family born on the Chathusphuta Nakshatra day. On that day, the relative concerned will fall ill.
Stanza 42. — When the Sun or the Moon transits the Thrisphuta Rasi, death will take place. The conclusion must be based upon experience and the guidance of the preceptor.
Stanza 43. — If Panchasphuta happens to be the Janma Nakshatra of the questioner, or its trines or the 3rd, 5th or 7th Nakshatras, or the 88th quarter from the quarter of his asterism, or Revati, then predict that the questioner will die soon.
Stanza 44. — By multiplying Lagna sphuta by 9, we get Pranasphuta. By multiplying the Moon by 9, we get Dehasphtita. By multiplying Gulika by 9, we get Mrityusphuta. If Pranasphuta and Dehasphuta mutually aspect or combine, and they are free from the aspect or association of Mrityusphuta, then predict 'long life'. If Dehasphuta is afflicted by Mrityusphuta, predict long sickness. If Pranasphuta is in any way conjoined with Mrityasphuta, say there will be fits and unconsciousness.
Stanza 45. If Lagna Navanisa, Chandra Navamsa and Gulika Navamsa happen to be common signs, predict death. If they are fixed signs, predict sickness and in movable signs, predict sound health and long life. If these Amsas happen to be in mutual trines, severe illness will result; if they aspect mutually, they cause stupor; and if they are conjoined in a house trine to Cancer, death is certain.
Stanza 46. — Multiply Lagaasphuta by 5 and add Gulikasphuta to it; then we get Pranasphuta. Multiply Chandrasphuta by 8 and add Gulika, we get Dehasphuta. Multiply Gulikasphuta by 7 and add Suryasphuta, we get Mrityusphuta. If Pranasphuta is greater, predict'recovery from sickness' ; If Dehasphuta is greater, predict 'improvement in health'; If Mrityusphuta is greater or if Mrityusphuta falls in Aslesha, Jyeshta or Revati, predict death.
NOTES
In this stanza, the author speaks of a Sukshma Thris phuta (a more accurate one). The methods of calculation are simple and do not need any explanation or illustration.
Stanza 47. — Add up all these and you get Sukshma Thrisphuta. You have to predict danger to the persons signified by the planets occupying this Sukshma Thrisphuta. If the Sun occupies this, predict danger to father; if the Moon, say that calamities will visit mother; if Mercury, calamities to uncle; if Mars, brothers ; if Jupiter, son; if Venus, wife; and if Saturn, servants. In a prasna regarding a woman, Venus governs husband. If Rahu and Gulika occupy this Rasi, the questioner will die. If Gulika alone stands, the astrologer will himself have some troubles. If Kethu occupies this Rasi, trouble will come to the man who placed the gold piece in the prasna. If Saturn occupies this, the messenger sent will be involved in trouble.
Stanza 48. — Take the time of prasna in ghatikas and vighatikas ; convert it into vigha-tikas; multiply it by 6. Then divide the number by 562. Then we get the Rasi and from the remiander, calculate dagrees and minutes. The Sphuta so got must be then subtracted from Gulikasphuta. If this happens to fall in the asterism of the native, predict death ; or if any of his relatives happen to be born in this Sphuta Nakshatra, then predict that relative will die.
Stanza 49. — If Thrisphuta occupies Samhara (destructive) Khanda, Rasi or Nakshatra, or if it is in conjunction with evil planets, or if it happens to be the 28th quarter from his 'Nakshatra Pada' or if it happens to be the 3rd or 5th or 7th Nakshatra from his Janma Naksbatra, or if it happens to be his Anujanma Nakshatra, then predict 'death'.
NOTES
Anujanma is the 10th star from Janma Nakshatra, c.g, Pubba is the Anujanma Nakshatra of Bharani.
Stanza 50. — If Thrisphuta happens to fall in Srishti Khanda (zone), Srishti Rasi, Srishti Nakshatra, or if it conjoins with good planets or if it occupies Aries, Leo or Sagittarius Navamsas, predict longevity to the questioner.
Stanza 51. — Find out the Shadvargas of the Thrisphuta and note down the respective lords. From them, read good and bad for father, mother, brothers, relatives, children and wife respectively.
NOTES
For example, see in what Rasi in Drekkana the Thri-sphuta has fallen. Note the lord of this Rasi. From the nature of this lord, read the fortunes of the father. In this way, the indications of other relatives should be given in the order of relatives in the stanza, the vargas being taken into consideration in the ordei of Drekkana, Hora, Navamsa, Thrimsamsa, Dwadasamsa and Rasi.
Stanza 52. — If the lord is well disposed, then good will befall the concerned relative. If the lord is afflicted, then predict evil. By affliction is meant debility, evil disposition and aspect of evil planets.
Stanzas 53, 54 and 55. — By 'strength' of planets is meant their residence in appropriate bhavas, good strength and association or aspect of benefics. If the Sun, etc., conjoins Thrisphuta, father, etc., will be in peril. If Thrisphuta occupies Ohathushpada Rasi or Navamsa and conjoins with evil planets, destruction of quadrupeds such as cattle or horses may be predicted.
NOTES
If the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn conjoin the Thrisphuta, affliction will befall father, mother, brothers, relatives, children, wife or husband and servants or dependents respectively.
Stanzas 56 to 60. — When Thrisphuta falls in a particular Nakshatra and the following events — a quarrel within three days, a poor old Brahmin turning up in three days, fear from fire or a huge conflagration, loss or destruction of vessels or clothes, sickness or wounds to any one in the family, a serpent seen anywhere in the house, a pious and noble Brahamin's visit, death of a quadruped or fall from a tree of a servant and putting out of the light by a destructive fly or death news — are noticed, the order coinciding with the order of Aswini, Bharani, etc. (and their trines), then predict death.
NOTES
If in the Prasna chart, the Thrisphuta falls in Aswini, Makha or Moola and within three days, a quarrel takes place without cause, then death may be predicted. Likewise, when the Thrisphuta falls in the following constellations, and an appropriate event takes, place as follows : —
1. Aswini. Makha, Moola A quarrel within three days.
2. Bharani, Pubba Poorvashadha A poor old Brahmin turning up in three days. 3. Krittika, Uttara, Uttarashadha Fire or conflagration.
4. Rohini, Hasta, Sravana Loss or destruction of vessel or cloth. 5. Mrigasira, Chitra, Dhanishta Sickness or wound.
6. Aridra, Swati, Satabhisha Appearance of a serpent.
7. Punarvasu, Visakha, Poorvabhadra Visit of a religious and noble Brahmin. 8. Pushyami, Anuradha, Uttarabhadra Death of a quadruped or fall of a servant. 9. Aslesha, Jyeshta, Revati Putting out of the light.
In all the said cases, any happening similar to the specific events mentioned should also be taken as an indicative sign and death predicted.
Stanza 61. — The Sun governs fever, rise of temperature all over the body and brain fag. The Moon rules dysentery. Mars indicates wounds and sores.
Stanza 62. — Mercury denotes diseases that make one unable to think or speak or see. Jupiter causes pain all over the body and mental upsets.
Stanza 63. — Venus causes swelling. Saturn governs disability to stretch or to fold one's hands and legs. Rahu governs fall from an elevated place. Kethu indicates wounds.
Stanza 64. — If the sick man has the diseases signified by the lord of Thrisphuta Navamsa or by the lord associated with Thrisphuta, then predict death.
