மாரக கிரகங்கள் - பிருஹத் பராசர ஹோர சாஸ்திரம்

1. O Maharishi Parashar, you have mentioned a lot about longevity. Be kind enough to throw light on Marakas, or killers.

2-5. O Brahmin, Sahaj and Randhr Bhava are the two Bhavas of longevity. The Bhavas, related to death, are the 12^th from each of these, i.e. Dhan and Yuvati Bhava are Marak Bhavas.

3. Out of the two, Dhan Bhava is a powerful Marak Bhava. The Lords of Dhan and Yuvati Bhava, malefics in Dhan and Yuvati Bhava and malefics, yuti with Dhan’s Lord and yuti with Yuvati’s Lord are all known, as Marakas. The major and sub-periods of these Grahas will bring death on the native, depending on whether he is a long life, medium life, or short life person.

6-7. The Dasha of a benefic Grah, related to Vyaya’s Lord may also inflict death. End may descend on the native in Randhr’s Lord’s Dasha. The Dasha of a Grah, which is an exclusive malefic, may also cause death.

9. Should Sani be ill-disposed and be related to a Marak Grah, he will be the first to kill in preference to other Grahas.
