Jatakaparijata 6: atha jātakabhaṅgādhyāyaḥ

Now, first, the definitions of natal nullifications: / Some combinations nullify royal combinations; some are called rekā, which are combinations of poverty; / some produce servitude; and some are known as kemadruma. These four are the producers of natal nullifications.

Nullifications of royal status: / When the Sun is in Aries in a Libra navāṃśa and aspected by a malefic, one is penniless; when Venus has gone to the sign of Virgo in a Virgo navāṃśa, one is a beggar; / when the Sun is in its debilitation sign and positioned in its deep debilitation degree, a person, even if the eldest born of the best of royal families, is deprived of fortune, children, wife, and food.

When Jupiter is conjoined with Saturn, Mars, and Rāhu, and aspected by Venus and Mercury, the native, even if having the body of a Śūdra, attains all learning and fortune. / When the Moon and Sun have gone to the sixth house and are aspected by Saturn, the native maintains his livelihood by means fit for the low-born.

When Saturn is in a cardinal house or in the ascendant, unaspected by benefic planets, a man born at the hour of Mars becomes a beggar and a servant. / When the Moon is in Aries with Mars, unaspected by benefics and aspected by Saturn, one becomes a beggar; and if Saturn, the Moon, and the Sun are in cardinal houses, he has a dull body, is destitute, and eats what is left over by others.

When Saturn is in a cardinal house, the Moon is in the ascendant, and Jupiter is in the twelfth sign, the native becomes a beggar indeed, sunk in an ocean of grief, and goes abroad. / But when the lord of the ninth house is in the twelfth house and a malefic planet is in a cardinal house, the native becomes engaged in sin, enjoying the food and wealth of others, and destitute of learning.

When Jupiter is conjoined with Rāhu or with Ketu and aspected by a malefic, one performs low deeds; when Jupiter is in debilitation and aspected by a debilitated planet, a Brahmin becomes a doer of exceedingly base deeds. / When the lords of the Moon sign and ascendant, together with the Sun, are aspected by Saturn, or when malefics devoid of the aspect of benefic planets are stationed in the tenth house, one becomes a servant.

When the lord of the ninth house has gone to the twelfth house, while malefics are in the third house, and the lord of the twelfth house is in the second house, the native eats wretched food, suffers imprisonment and the like, and is fond of another's wife. / When all planets are placed in debilitated or inimical divisions and situated in houses other than the tenth, one is devoid of learning, intelligence, wife, and sons, prone to anger, and ever lives by begging.

When the lord of the ascendant has gone to the twelfth house, while in the tenth house is a malefic conjoined with the Moon and Mars, the native goes abroad, abandons happiness and wealth, and becomes poor. / If the lords of the horā and the birth sign are not conjoined with benefics, are combust, and the lord of the ninth house has gone to the twelfth house, the native loses his wife and offspring and becomes a destroyer of his lineage.

When benefics and malefics occupy cardinal houses, the Moon is in a navāṃśa of Saturn and aspected by the lord of the ascendant, one becomes a destroyer of the lineage, bereft of wife and children. / When Mercury and Venus are in the seventh house, Jupiter is in the fifth house, a benefic is in the fourth house, and a malefic has gone to the eighth house from the sign occupied by the Moon, those born become destroyers of their lineage.

When the Moon is at the end of a moveable sign, at the beginning of a fixed sign, or in the middle of a dual sign, and is devoid of strength, / while the ascendant is weak, if planets are in cardinal houses, one meets destruction from a combination indicative of a ruler.

If the lords of the ascendant, its sign, and the ninth house—namely the Sun, the Moon, and Jupiter— / are conjoined with inimical divisions or with the navāṃśa of the lords of their signs of debilitation, one becomes a dependent of another.

When the Moon is in the tenth house, Venus is in the seventh house, and a malefic planet has gone to the ninth house, one is a destroyer of the lineage. / If Venus, Mercury, and the Moon occupy cardinal houses, while Rāhu is in the ascendant, one destroys the deeds he performs and becomes equal to the low-born.

When Venus is in debilitation or in a navāṃśa of Saturn, situated in a dusthāna, and aspected by Saturn, / and the Moon is in the seventh house together with the Sun, one constantly falls into servitude along with his mother.

When Jupiter or the Sun is in debilitation in a cardinal house and conjoined with a malefic, one becomes a killer of infants. / When a cardinal house contains a malefic and is devoid of the aspect of benefics, while Jupiter is in the eighth house, one is a killer of cattle and deer species.

When the Moon and Mercury have gone to the tenth house, are aspected by and conjoined with malefics, / are situated in debilitated navāṃśas, and are devoid of the aspect of benefics, the native certainly becomes an habitual killer of birds.

When the lord of the ascendant is in the fifth house from the Moon or in the second, while planets other than benefics are in the eighth sign, / and the Moon is stationed in the tenth house, in its period the native lives by an exceedingly base occupation.

When Venus and Jupiter are in debilitated and inimical divisions, and Saturn is in their navāṃśa, / the native becomes deeply sorrowful, bereft of children and wife, unfortunate, and lives with great difficulty.

All malefics placed in cardinal, debilitation, or inimical signs, unaspected by benefics, or gone to the twelfth, eighth, or sixth houses, / destroy royal combinations, as do lordly planets occupying debilitated, inimical, or malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa divisions.

If Saturn, the Moon, and the Sun are situated in cardinal houses and unaspected by benefics, one is a drinker of intoxicating liquor; / if they have malefic, inimical ṣaṣṭyaṃśas and debilitated degrees, he is engaged in evil deeds and consorts with the wives of others.

When Venus is in debilitation in the ninth house, conjoined with a malefic and aspected by a malefic, one is a striker of Brahmins. / When Venus is in the twelfth house in an auspicious sign and situated in a navāṃśa of Saturn, one becomes the son of a maidservant.

Now, the rekā combinations: / When the lord of the ascendant is devoid of strength, aspected by the lord of the eighth house, and Jupiter has his rays destroyed by the Sun, the combination called rekā occurs. / When the lord of the navāṃśa conjoined with the lord of the fourth house has its radiance eclipsed by the Sun and is aspected by the lord of the twelfth house, that combination is known as rekā.

When the lord of happiness is aspected by the lord of the sixth, joined with the lord of the eighth, / and likewise the lord of honor is in the fifth, while the beloved lord of the ascendant is debilitated, one suffers rekā. / If the benefics are in the eighth, sixth, or twelfth houses, the malefics are in cardinal houses or trines, / and the lord of the eleventh house is devoid of strength, one becomes cursed by rekā.

If the lord of the horā is joined with a malefic, and Venus and Jupiter have set, it is declared likewise; / if the lord of the fourth house is joined with a non-benefic and has set, it produces rekā. / When the lord of the ninth house is obscured by the rays of the Sun, the lord of the ascendant / is debilitated, and the lord of wealth is in a debilitation house, the combination called rekā occurs.

If three [planets] are debilitated or obscured by the rays of the Sun, while the lord of the ascendant / is in an evil house or devoid of strength, the combination produces rekā. / Malefics placed in the ascendant, second, ninth, tenth, eleventh, fourth, fifth, and seventh houses / bestow the fruits of rekā in the corresponding ninth part of one's life, when aspected by debilitated, inimical, or malefic planets.

Planets in ones, twos, or threes, having entered valor according to their state, and likewise thereafter, / aspected by their inimical, own, ascendant, or debilitation [planets], / produce rekā respectively in the early, middle, and late periods of life.

The result of the rekā combination:
One born in rekā is devoid of learning, devoid of wealth, poor, lustful, / wrathful, distressed in mind, fastidious, devoid of good fortune, clever, / an eater of alms, dirty, devoted to disputes, filled with envy and anger, / a reviler of gods and Brahmins, and censured daily by his wife and sons.

A wicked soul, having diseased nails, devoted to evil paths, endowed with misfortune, / intent on doing harm and reviling his kinsmen, short-lived, a beggar, / dumb, blind, deaf, mad, afflicted by lust, wrathful, / lame, and afflicted by disorders of the eye, is the person born in rekā.

Now, the poverty combinations:
If the lord of the eighth is stronger than the lord of the ninth, or if the lord of the ascendant is Jupiter, / [and] the lord of the eleventh is outside cardinal houses, scorched by the rays of the Sun, / and devoid of strength, one is poor.

When Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and Mercury are in the eleventh, sixth, twelfth, eighth, or fifth houses, / situated in their debilitation places, and obscured by the Sun's rays, then one is a beggar. / If the son of the Sun is in the ninth house aspected by non-benefics, / [or] Mercury is in the ascendant with the Sun and in a debilitated navāṃśa, one is a beggar.

If Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Mars are situated in the eighth, sixth, twelfth, or tenth houses, / [and] the lord of the twelfth house is stronger than the lord of the ascendant, / situated in debilitation and struck by the rays of the Sun, one is poor.

If Venus, Jupiter, the Moon, and Mars are in debilitation at birth, / in the tenth, eleventh, ninth, seventh, or fifth house, the native becomes poor. / If Venus is in the ascendant, Jupiter in the fifth, Mars in the eleventh, / and the Moon is debilitated in the third house, one is a beggar.

If the ascendant is moveable and in a moveable navāṃśa, aspected by Saturn / and by a debilitated Jupiter, one becomes a beggar. / For a person born [with the ascendant] other than Jupiter's sign, / if Jupiter is in the sixth or twelfth, he becomes poor.

If a person is born with a fixed sign in the ascendant, all malefics / are situated in cardinal houses or trines, / and benefics are situated outside cardinal houses, / he becomes an eater of alms and supported by others.

When the ascendant is moveable at night, benefic planets situated in trines or cardinal houses are devoid of strength, / and planets destroying the ascendant are situated outside cardinal houses, / the native continually resorts to eating alms.

If malefics are in debilitation places, one performs evil deeds; if benefics are in debilitation places, one's evil is secret. / The same applies when Jupiter is in debilitation in the tenth sign, / [or] when Mars is in debilitation in Saturn's house.

Planets situated in exaltation signs but in debilitated navāṃśas quickly yield base results for the native; / but planets that have gone to debilitation while situated in exalted navāṃśas make their results auspicious.

Now, the result of the poverty combination:
Unfortunate, of agitated senses, perverse in intellect, censured by his wife and sons, / an eater of alms, situated in misery, harsh in speech, devoted to his belly and genitals, / daily devoted to dishonest earnings, speaking with malice, troublesome, / constantly having his heart attached to the wives of others, vile, blind, dumb, and stupid.

In the poverty combination, the native becomes fond of quarreling, leprous, an ungrateful stealer of others' [wealth], / talkative, devoid of devotion to Brahmins, / endowed with a bad wife, and deformed.

Now, the servant combinations:
With the Sun in the tenth, the Moon in the seventh, Saturn in the fourth, Mars in the third, / Jupiter in the second, and the ascendant in a moveable sign, / one born at night becomes a performer of others' work.

With Venus in the ninth, the Moon in the seventh, Jupiter in the second or the ascendant, / and Mars situated in the eighth, while the ascendant is a fixed sign renowned [for servitude], / servants are born.

One is a servant if the lord of a moveable ascendant has reached a junction at night while situated in a cardinal house. If Saturn, the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus are in cardinal houses or trines in the sky, / situated at junctions when the ascendant is a fixed sign, the same occurs. / When Jupiter is in the airāvata division and at a junction, and the Moon is endowed with superior divisional dignity, / [yet] outside a cardinal house at night in the dark fortnight, while Venus is in the ascendant, one lives by working for others.

One becomes a servant if Mars, Jupiter, and the Sun have reached the junctions of the sixth, fourth, and tenth houses. / If the Moon is in an auspicious sign but in a malefic navāṃśa, / and Jupiter is joined with the lord of the ascendant, one becomes a performer of others' work.

When Jupiter is in Capricorn, in the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house, / and the Moon is in the fourth house from the ascendant, / the native continually enters into servitude to others.

Now, the result of the servant combination:
An evil soul, fond of quarreling, harsh in speech, a reviler of earthly gods, / devoid of learning and fortune, an enjoyer of evil, filled with envy and anger, / delighting in untruthful talk and deceit, devoted to his belly and genitals, / clever in breaking compassion, stability, and honor, in the combination of servitude to others.

Now, the limb-deficient combinations:
If Aries, Taurus, or Sagittarius is the ascendant aspected by malefics, one has deformed teeth. / When Saturn is in a sign of Saturn, or Mars joined with Rāhu / is devoid of strength, one becomes deficient in limbs.

If the Moon is in the tenth from the ascendant, Mars is in the seventh, / and the Sun is situated in the second house, / a person becomes deficient in limbs.

If Mercury is in a trine while the other [planets] are powerless, one then has double mouths, feet, or hands. / If the Moon is in Taurus accompanied by malefics placed in the junctions of signs, one is speechless; if aspected by benefics, one speaks after a long time.

If Saturn and Mars are in the sign or navāṃśa of a benefic, the native born here has teeth [at birth]; / if the Moon is in its own sign in the ascendant aspected by Saturn and Mars, he is hunchbacked; / if the ascendant is in Pisces aspected by Saturn, the Moon, and Mars, he is lame; / and if a malefic is at the junction of signs and the Moon is also there, he will be an idiot, unless there is an aspect of a benefic.

When the end of Capricorn is the ascendant aspected by Saturn, the Moon, and the Sun, he is a dwarf; / and if the decanates occupying the fifth, ninth, and the ascendant are conjoined with malefics, he will be devoid of arms, legs, or head.

Mars situated in the decanate of the ascendant, aspected by Saturn, the Sun, and the Moon, / makes one headless; likewise in the fifth, he makes one devoid of arms.

When Leo is the ascendant conjoined with the Sun and Moon and aspected by Mars and Saturn, he is bereft of eyes; / if aspected by benefics and malefics, he has bubble-like eyes; / the Moon situated in the twelfth house destroys the left, and the Sun the other; / combinations that are not declared beneficial become bearable when aspected by benefics.

When Aries is the ascendant, he is brave, stiff, and has mediocre vision; when the Sun is in Leo, his own exaltation [or moolatrikona], he has diseased eyes; / when it is in Libra, he is blind at night and will be destitute; when the Sun is in Cancer in the ascendant, he has bubble-like eyes.

The Sun and the Moon in the twelfth house, together or separate, destroy the right and the left eyes; / and planets situated in the sixth and eighth houses destroy the left eye, and those in the eighth destroy the right when [the others are] in the sixth.

If the Sun is situated in the ascendant or in the seventh house, conjoined with or aspected by Saturn, / it will quickly destroy his right eye; but conjoined with Rāhu and Mars, the left.

If the Sun and Moon have gone to the twelfth, and malefics are in the sixth, eighth, and twelfth, / the one in the sixth house destroys the left eye, and the one in the eighth house destroys the right eye.

When Mars is the lord of the second, and the Sun and Moon are in the eighth, and Saturn is in the sixth or twelfth house, one is blind; / if the Moon is in the eighth, twelfth, or sixth, and Saturn is conjoined with Mars, he has lost his eyes.

With the Moon in the sixth, Mars in the eighth, Saturn in the twelfth from the ascendant, / and Mars situated in the second house, even Indra would surely become blind.

If the lord of the mind [the Moon] is together with the lord of the ascendant in an evil house, there is destruction of the eyes; / and if the lord of the eyes [the second house], conjoined with Venus and the Moon, is in the ascendant, he is blind at night; / if it is in its exaltation and conjoined with a benefic planet, they say it is not so.

Now, the combinations for diseases: / The noble ones say there is an enlarged testicle when Rāhu is in the ascendant along with Mars and Saturn; / the same should be stated when the lord of the ascendant is in the eighth house with Rāhu, and Māndi is in the eighth house.

Likewise when the ascendant has Rāhu, Gulika is in a trine, and Mars is in the eighth house conjoined with Saturn; / and likewise when the lord of the division occupied by the lord of the ascendant is conjoined with Rāhu, Mars, Māndi, and the like.

When the Sun is in the ascendant aspected by Mars, he will be afflicted by abdominal tumours, consumption, and asthma; / when Mars is in the ascendant aspected by Saturn and the Sun, a man is struck by smallpox.

When Saturn is in the sign of the second house aspected by a malefic and conjoined with a malefic, a mortal incurs fear of dogs; / or when Saturn is conjoined with or aspected by the lord of that house, the native incurs fear of dogs.

When the ascendant has Rāhu conjoined with the powerful lord of the sign containing Rāhu, / there is danger from serpents; when the lord of the third house is conjoined with Mercury, he gets throat disease.

When the third house is in debilitation or an enemy's sign, powerless, and aspected by a malefic, he will have throat disease; / or from administration of poison, or from consumption of poison; in their absence, there is loss of wealth.

When a malefic is in the third house, they speak here of disease of the ascendant [the head], especially if it is conjoined with the Moon and others; / if the son of the lord of the city of ghosts [Saturn] is in the third sign conjoined with Mars, there is ear disease.

When the sign of the brother [the third house] has a malefic and is aspected by a malefic, the native gets an illness arising in the ear; / when its lord is in a malefic ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, those who know the matter declare disease of the ear.

When the Sun is in the sixth house aspected by a malefic and conjoined with a malefic, he suffers an excess of bile; / the same should be stated when the Sun is in the eighth, Mars is weak, and a malefic is in the second.

There is fear of phlegm when Mars is in the sixth conjoined with Mercury, in a malefic navāṃśa, and aspected by Venus and the Moon; / when Mars is aspected by a malefic and has gone to the eighth, and Ketu is in the second or eighth, he gets wound disease.

When the lord of the sixth is in the ascendant or eighth house conjoined with a malefic, his body is afflicted with wounds; / when such a planetary lord is in the tenth house bereft of the aspect of benefics, he will be marked with wounds.

When the lord of the ascendant, Mars, and Mercury are situated together in a house other than that of a benefic, / sages say they aspect the sixth, causing disease of the anus or impurity.

The lord of the ascendant and the lord of the sixth conjoined with the Sun produce fever; if conjoined with the Moon, / danger from water; conjoined with Mars, [danger] through battle or eruptions of boils;

danger from bile if they are conjoined with Mercury; if conjoined with the Sun, he is free of illness; / with Venus, they declare misfortune to the wife; with Saturn, they speak of disease from base wind [gout/rheumatism].

If with Rāhu and Ketu, the native incurs affliction from serpents and fear from thieves and the like; / if Rāhu and Ketu are in a cardinal house or a trine, the knowers of that [science] declare chains at that time.

The lord of the sixth conjoined with Mercury and Rāhu in the ascendant, bereft of benefic aspect, / cuts his own penis; if it is with Mars, he has disease of the penis.

The lord of the seventh house conjoined with Venus in the sixth house indicates impotence of the spouse; / if the lord of the sixth and the lord of the ascendant are with Saturn in a cardinal house or a trine, there will be imprisonment.

When the ascendant is moveable and aspected by the lord of the sixth, and Mars is in the eleventh, a planet in the ninth is in a fixed sign, / and a planet in the seventh is in a dual sign, one should declare a disease caused by enemies' sorcery for men.

When Jupiter is with Saturn in the tenth, the Moon has waning digits, Mars is in the seventh causing impairment and destruction, / and the Sun and Moon are in Leo or in Cancer, there will be consumption.

When the Sun is in the ascendant and Mars is in the seventh, the man born then is afflicted with madness; / he incurs a deranged intellect when Saturn is in the ascendant, and Mars is in the seventh or a trine.

When the Sun and Moon are in a trine from the ascendant, and Jupiter is in the third or in a cardinal house, / he will then be of deranged intellect, if the natal ascendant is at the beginning of Sagittarius.

When Mercury and the Moon are in cardinal houses, bereft of benefic divisions, he will be full of confusion; / when Saturn, the Moon, and the Sun are in cardinal houses, he will be an idiot who drinks intoxicating liquor.

If the Moon is conjoined with Saturn in the navāṃśa of Cancer, Aquarius, or Scorpio, he has a private disease; / if the Moon is in the fourth house conjoined with that sign's navāṃśa and conjoined with a malefic, he will be a leper.

When the Moon is conjoined with a malefic and with the lord of serpents (Rāhu) in the twelfth, fifth, or eighth house, / the native eats foul food, is filled with anger, and is constantly fond of quarrel.

If the Moon is in the twelfth house, or Venus [is there], or Saturn is in a trine, and the Sun is in the seventh or eighth house, / the native suffers from diseases of the teeth and eyes; likewise if [these planets] are placed in the navāṃśa divisions of debilitation, enemies, or malefics.

If two malefic planets occupy the fifth and fourth houses, blindness will especially occur when they are in the eighth, twelfth, or sixth houses; / when there is no aspect from benefic planets, one certainly becomes blind, whereas through benefics there is no defect.

Leaving aside the lord of the ascendant, when the final [degrees/signs] are conjoined in the ascendant, one should declare leprosy: dark-blue when Saturn is present, red when the hot-rayed Sun is present, and white when Mars is present. / If conjoined with Saturn or Mars in the navāṃśa of Cancer, Pisces, or Capricorn in a cardinal house, destitute of the conjunction or aspect of benefics, one should declare leprosy for embodied beings.

When the Moon is conjoined with a malefic in the sign of the lord of the eighth house or of the ascendant, and the lord of the eighth is aspected by Rāhu, the native has a disease of the private parts; / likewise if the eighth house is occupied by malefics from the fourth or third; but if it is conjoined with a benefic planet, one is free from disease.

When the Moon is in the house of a water-dwelling sign and its lord occupies the sixth, aspected by planets placed in watery houses, dysuria occurs; / when the cold-rayed Moon is in the sixth house aspected by Mars, and Saturn conjoins the ascendant, one contracts a blood disease.

When the waning Moon rises in the house of Saturn and is conjoined with malefic planets, or when placed in the eighth or sixth house, one should declare windy disorders such as abdominal tumors; / when the Moon is situated between malefic planets and Saturn is in the seventh house, the native's body is afflicted by an abscess, atrophy, and consumption.

One suffers from indigestion, abdominal tumors, diseases, and acute pain when Mars is in the ascendant and the lord of the sixth house is weak; / or when the ascendant is occupied by a malefic or Rāhu, and Saturn is in the eighth house, belly disease is spoken of.

The native contracts the disease of heart pain if Rāhu is in the fourth house aspected by a malefic, provided the lord of the ascendant is devoid of strength; / there is fear of sharp pain if the lord of the body (ascendant) is in the sign of an enemy or debilitation, Mars is in the fourth house, and Saturn is aspected by a malefic.

The native is afflicted by disease that obstructs eating when the lord of the eighth house is weak, the ascendant is aspected by a malefic, and the eighth house is aspected by Saturn; / one contracts jaundice born of vomiting and delusion when the Moon conjoins Mars in the sixth house; the native suffers from acute pain and erysipelas when the Sun is conjoined with the Moon and Mars.

If the lord of the sixth house is aspected by Mars in the house of the ascendant or in the tenth, or situated in the seventh or the ascendant, sorcery has been performed; / likewise it happens when Mars conjoins the lord of the ascendant in the ascendant or in a cardinal house, or when the lord of the sixth house is in the ascendant.

The native contracts an illness caused by the sight of gods when Jupiter is in the fourth house, the tenth, or the ascendant, and Saturn's son (Māndi) is in a cardinal house; / when Saturn is in the seventh, a benefic is in a moveable ascendant, and the cold-rayed Moon is aspected by a malefic, one certainly meets with disease through the sight of ghosts, spirits, and goblins.

When the Moon is aspected by a malefic, situated in the sixth house, and conjoined with a malefic, a wind-born [ailment occurs]; the native suffers from hemorrhage and bile when Mars is likewise in the seventh; / there is fear of wind and phlegm if Mercury is there; dysentery originating from piles if Venus is there; abdominal tumors if Saturn is there; and one should declare demonic possession in the case of Rāhu and Ketu.

The suffering born of cough, asthma, and consumption occurs when Saturn conjoins Gulika in the sixth house, aspected by the Sun, Mars, and Rāhu, devoid of the aspect or conjunction of benefics; / when a malefic is in the twelfth, the Moon is in the sixth, Saturn is in the eighth, and the lord of the ascendant house is in a malefic navāṃśa, one contracts tuberculosis.

When Saturn enters the sign of Cancer and the Moon is in Capricorn, the native contracts the affliction of dropsy; / when Saturn with Mars is in the sixth house aspected by the Sun and Rāhu, and the lord of the ascendant is powerless, one is chronically ill.

The native is short in stature if Mars is in his own sign and Mercury is in the fourth or third house, while Saturn is in the ascendant; / they also declare it to be so when Mars is in his own sign, Mercury is in the fourth or third house, and the lord of the horā is conjoined with Saturn.

Now in the Horā: / When the Moon and the hot-rayed Sun have gone to the twelfth and sixth houses from the ascendant, they declare the birth of one who, together with his wife, has one eye; / when Venus and the Sun occupy the seventh house, or the ninth and fifth houses, they declare the native to possess a deformed wife.

Occupying the ninth, eleventh, third, or fifth houses, and not aspected by benefics, / malefics thus cause injury to hearing, and in the seventh they cause deformity of the teeth.

When Jupiter is conjoined with a benefic division such as vargottama in the ascendant or the fourth house, or is endowed with strength, / and the planets are in the second, eleventh, and tenth houses, while the lord of the ascendant is strong, the native attains happiness.

Those cancellations of natal combinations, cancellations of royal combinations, slaveries, poverty, and defects of limbs / that are the varieties of diseases described—these occur by the grace [or wrath] of all the heavenly bodies beginning with the Sun.

Thus ends the sixth chapter, on the cancellations of natal horoscopes, in the Jātakapārijāta composed by Vaidyanātha.
