Calculating death under Jaimini is unconventional and involved. The results are however excellent.
Finding the Symbolic Figures involves many factors. There are conditional relationships that need noting if one is to find the correct symbolic planets that signifies, Brahma, Mahesvara and Rudra.
Significators of Death - Brahma:
y Sutra 2.1.49: find who is the strongest amongst the lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th house from lagna and from the seventh house. The planet behind this strongest one is to be considered. If that is an odd sign he is designated as Brahma.
y Sutra 2.1.50: if Sa, Ra or Ke becomes Brahman, then take the 6th from them as Brahma.
Notes: Thus if Sa becomes Brahma, the 6th from him is Kuja. [Days of the week start with the Su, Mo, Ma, Me, Ju, Ve, Sa, Ra, Ke]
y Sutra 2.1.51: if more than one comes out as Brahma, take the one who has the highest number of degrees in the sign.
y Sutra 2.1.52: in the case of Rahu consider his degrees and minutes by deducting them from thirty degrees.
y Sutra 2.1.53: the lord of the 8th from AK and the one occupying the 8th can be Brahma.
Notes:
1.
o First determine whether As is stronger or the 7th house.
o From the stronger house, note the lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th house.
o Note who is the strongest among these. He should be behind. This means , if the lagna is stronger than the 7th , the planet should be in the signs from 7th to 12th of lagna. If the 7th is stronger, it should be in signs 1 to 6 from lagna. And if the sign is an odd sign it can be Brahma.
2.
o If this Brahma happens to be Sa, Ra or Ke, then count the 6th planet from the concerned one- the sequence is that of the week days followed by Ra and Ke. (viz. weekdays- Su, Mo, Ma, Me, Ju, Ve, Sa, Ra, Ke)
o This 6th planet becomes the true Brahma.
o If there are 2 or more such planets qualified for this position, take the one who is more advanced as per the degrees and minutes; and he becomes Brahma.
3.
o The lord of the 8th from the Atmakaraka (in rasi) can be Brahma.
o The planets occupying the 8th from the Atmakaraka can also be Brahma.
o If any candidates are found take the one who is advanced in degrees in the sign.
o If the Brahmas have the same advanced degrees, the one in a stronger sign, becomes Brahma.
y Sutra 2.1.55 : longevity extends from the sign occupied by Brahma to the dasa period of the sign occupied by Mahesvara.
y Sutra 2.1.56 : even in the Sthira dasa of the sign occupied by Brahma, take the lord of the 8th from Mahesvara sign. The signs in trine (kona) to him will be the sub-period when death takes place in the period of the sign occupied by Mahesvara.
y Sutra 2.1.57 : from the Ak or Janma lagna take the lords of the 3rd, 8th, and 12th houses. The strongest of these brings about death.
Notes: in all these cases we have to determine first the term (kakshya) of life as short, middle and long. Then we have to find the sign causing maraka.
y Sutra 2.1.58 : of the death inflicting planets generally the lord of the 6th (Chittanatha) causes death.
Notes: this can be 6th from from the janma lagna or the Ak.
y Sutra 2.1.60 : even in the periods of the signs connected with the death inflicting planets, the sub-periods wll be those of the signs occupied by the lords of the 6th , 8th, and 12th counted from the 7th of janma lagna or AK.
Significators of Death – Mahesvara :
y Sutra 2.1.46 : the lord of the 8th from AK is called Mahesvara.
y Sutra 2.1.47 when the Ak is exalted or in his own house, then note who is stronger among the lords of the 8th and the 12th from AK. The stronger one will then be Mahesvara.
y Sutra 2.1.48: when the AK is with Rahu or Ketu, or when Ra or Ke is in the 8th from AK, then find out the lord of the 8th from AK. He then becomes Mahesvara.
Significators of Death – Rudra :
y Sutra 2.1.35 : whoever is stronger among the lords of the 8th house from lagna and the 7th house is know as Rudra.
Notes : i.e. from the lords of the 2nd and the 8th houses from lagna , who is stronger?
y Sutra 2.1.36 : even the weaker one can become Rudra, if he is aspected by a malefic.
y Sutra 2.1.37 :If the stronger one who is Rudra is aspected by a benefic, the longevity is up to the end of Shula dasa.
Notes: Shula rasi’s are the trikona signs {1, 5, 9}. If one has a short life, death comes before the period (dasa) of 5th sign from Rudra begins. If it is medium life, death is between the periods of the 5th and the 8th signs from Rudra. If there is long life, death is in the period of the 9th to the 12th signs. Or one can mean merely the period of the 1st, 5th and 9th signs from Rudra respectively.
y Sutra 2.1.38: even when the weaker Rudra is aspected by a benefic and is with a benefic, longevity extends up to the end of Shula rasi period.
y Sutra 2.1.39:The above result is not to be predicted if a malefic other than the Sun is associated with the condition mentioned in the previous sutra.
Notes: the Su must be in conjunction or aspect with the 1st, 5th or 9th signs for the Shula rasi periods to be predicted
y Sutra 2.1.42 : Sometimes death can take place in the period of the sign occupied by Rudra. It can even be in the sub-period of this sign.
y Sutra 2.1.43 : when the lagna is Meena (Pisces), death will definitely take place in the major and minor periods of the signs occupied by Rudra.
y Sutra 2.1.44 : if Rudra is in the 8th from lagna death generally comes in the period and subperiod of the sign occupied by Rudra.
y Sutra 2.1.45 : depending on the short, medium or long life death comes in the periods of the 1st, 2nd or 3rd Shula signs respectively.
Sthira Dasa Periods
Notes:
1. Sa, Ra, or Ke in the 7th from Janma lagna or AK will cause death in the first, second or third parts.
If the Chart shows medium life, Sa puts an end in the first part, Ra in the second and Ke in the third.
2. The 5th and 9th signs from the 8th house can bring about death.
3. If Shani is in the 8th house, death comes in the Navamsa of the sign.
4. The period of the 8th sign can cause death if it has both benefic and malefic association.
5. Death is possible in the dasa of a sign which has malefics on either side or which has malefics in the 8th or 12th from it.
6. Death is likely in the dasa of the 8th or 12th sign if it is aspected only by Ve and the waning Mo.
7. If a malefic or Rudra is in the 2nd or 8th from lagna, AK or the Mo, death comes in the period of the sign prior to it.
8. The sign in the 8th from Su or Ve also can cause death.
9. Longevity in Sthira dasa is from the period of Brahma rasi till the period of the sign having Mahesvara.
10. The period of the sign having Rudra can bring about death.
11. Death can come in the periods of the 3rd, 6th, 8th and 12th houses from AK. The strongest of these signs causes death.
Sthira Dasa Sub-Periods
Notes
1. The sub-period of death are in the 5th and the 9th signs from Mahesvara in the dasa of Mahesvara rasi or in Sthira dasa
2. The strongest of lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th from AK gives the sub-period of the sign occupied by them. This is the su-period of death.
3. The sub-period of death is the sign occupied by Rudra.
4. The sub-period of death is the Navamsa sign occupied by a maraka planet and the 6th from it in Navamsa lagna.
5. When the dvara and bahrya rasi’s are afflicted, the navamsa dasa of the former, and the sub-period of the latter.
6. The sub-period of death is when the lord of the 8th is exalted. Death comes in the Navamsa dasa of the 5th and 9th lords from lagna and the 8th house.
