மாரக கிரகங்கள் - பிருஹத் பராசர ஹோர சாஸ்திரம்

22-24. Rahu and Ketu, as Marakas. If Rahu, or Ketu are placed in Tanu, Yuvati, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, or happen to be in the 7^th from a Marak Lord, or are placed with such a Grah, they acquire powers of killing in their major, or sub-periods. For one born in Makar, or in Vrischik, Rahu will be a Marak. Should Rahu be in Ari, Randhr, or Vyaya Bhava, he will give difficulties in his Dasha periods. He will not, however, do so, if Rahu receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a benefic.

25-31. Sahaj Bhava and Death. O excellent of Brahmins, if Surya, being with strength, is in Sahaj Bhava, one will obtain his death, due to a king (legal punishments). Candr in Sahaj Bhava will cause death, due to tuberculosis, while wounds, weapons, fire and thirst will cause death through Mangal in Sahaj Bhava. If Sahaj Bhava receives a Drishti from, or is occupied by Sani and Rahu, death will be through poison, water, or fire, or fall from heights, or confinement. Death will surely come to descend through insects, or leprosy, if Candr and Gulik occupy, or give a Drishti to Sahaj Bhava. Budh, giving a Drishti to, or occupying Sahaj Bhava, will bring death, followed by fever. Guru in Sahaj Bhava, or giving a Drishti to Sahaj Bhava, will cause death by swelling, or tumours. Urinary diseases will cause death, if Sukr is in, or gives a Drishti to Sahaj Bhava. Many Grahas, giving a Drishti to, or occupying Sahaj Bhava, will bring death through many diseases.
