ஆயுள் - பிருஹத் பராசர ஹோர சாஸ்திரம்

33-40. Other Clues to Longevity. O excellent of the Brahmins, I will now give you details of other methods in the matter of longevity, as under. This is based on the positions of Lagn’s Lord, Randhr’s Lord, Sani, Candr, natal Lagn and Hora Lagn. These six are grouped into three groups thus: the Lords of Lagn and of Randhr Bhava on the one hand, Sani and Candr on the other hand and the natal Lagn and Hora Lagn on yet the other hand. Out of a group of two, if the two are in Movable Rasis, long life is denoted. One in a Fixed Rasi and the other in a Dual Rasi will also bestow long life. One in a Movable Rasi and the other in a Fixed Rasi will give medium life. If both are in Dual Rasis, then again medium life will be obtained. Short life is denoted, if one is in a Movable Rasi, as the other is in a Dual Rasi, or, if both are in Fixed Rasis. The type of life, denoted by three, or two groups be only considered. If the three groups denote different scales, then the one, indicated by the pair of natal Lagn and Hora Lagn should be only considered. In case of three different indications, if Candr is in Lagn, or Yuvati Bhava, then the one, indicated by the Sani-Candr pair will only come to pass.

41-44. Further Clarifications. If long life is denoted by all the said three groups, the span is 120 years, if by two groups, it is 108 years and, if only by one group it is 91 years. If medium life is arrived at by three groups, it is 80 years, if indicated by 2 groups, it is 72 years and, if by one group, it is 64 years. If short life is denoted by the said three groups, it is only 32 years, if indicated by two groups, the life-span is 36 years and, if by one group, the life-span is 40 years. These are rectified, as under.
