27-28.
29. Matters relating to natives father should be ascertained from 9th and 10th houses from Sun, those relating to mother from 4th house from Moon, those relating to brothers from 3rd house from Mars, those relating to maternal uncle and his children from 4th house reckoned from Mercury and those relating to children from 5th house from Jupiter.
30. Matters relating to ones wife may be ascertained from 7th house reckoned from Venus and information regarding perpetuation or extruction of ones family may be obtained by examining 8th house from Saturn. It is very necessary that in all above cases, conclusions be arrived at after carefully taking into account the strength of the particular house, of the planet from which it is reckoned and of the planet owning the house in question. Only after such examination and after having full devotion to God the astrologer should make predictions about the prosperity or otherwise of the particular relation.
31-Thus comes to close the 2nd Sanketa entitled Prasuti (birth) of Sanketanidhi, a work authored by Rama Dayalu the Astrologer, for the benefit of Shri Ghasi Ram son of his eldest brother (Shri Vazir Chandra Sharma) so that he gains proficiency in Astrology.
SANKETA THREE
1. The child would die immediately after birth if the birth takes place at twilight an hour before or after sunset and malefics be posited in the last portions of the signs. If Moon be posited in a quadrant and other three quadrants be occupied by malefics, the child would die immediately after birth. The same would happen if there be malefics in 1st and 7th houses, or these houses be hemmied in between malefics.
2. The child would die soon after birth if there be a malefic each in Ascendant aad 7th house and Moon be also associated with a malefic planet without receiving any benefic aspect.
3. If Moon be placed in 6th, or 8th house and Rahu is the 4th, the child would die immediately after birth. The remedial measure would be to worship the Lord. If there be a malefic planet in a quadrant neutralising the above adverse effect, even then, the death would take place within a year. If Mars be posited in Jupiters sign and Jupiter be in the sign of Mars, death would take place within eleven years.
4. If Moon associated with a malefic be posited in 1st, 7th, 8th or 12th house without receiving the aspect of a benefic planet placed in a house other than a quadrant the child would die soon after birth. When the birth takes place during day in dark half of a month, Moon even if placed in 6th or 8th house and aspected by malefics, would not kill the child. When the birth takes place at night during bright half of a month, Moon in the same position and aspected by benefics would protect the child.
5. The new-born child would die soon if: a) Sun and Moon be in Ascendant and be not associated with or aspected by benefics. b) if strong malefics occupy 5th, 8th and 9th, houses; c) if Saturn, Sun, Moon and Mars occupy respectively 12th, 9th,, 1st and 8th houses. The child would be saved if these combinations be aspected by a strong Jupiter (our view is that in this disposition of planets, a strong Jupiter placed in 5th, 7th or 9th house could save the child from death), and d) if Moon be badly placed (this could mean placement in the sign of debilitation or an inimical sign or if it be a new Moon), in 5th, Yth, 8th, 7th. 12th or 1st house and be devoid of benefic aspect.
6. The newly born child would die soon after birth if Moon be placed in 6th or 8th house and aspected by malefic planets. If, however, Moon gets the benefit of benefic aspect, the child would remain alive up-to eight years. If Moon in such position be aspected both by benetic and malefic planets, the child would live up to four lears. The child would live for one year if a malefic planet in an enemy sign, occupies 8th house aspected by a malefic. If the malefic aspects Sun placed in a quadrant, the child would live for 10 or 16 years.
7. If Sun and Moon be associated with Saturn, the child would live upto nine years. The longevity would be of one month if all the malefics be placed in 6th and 8th. The child would die in the 4th year, if Mercury be placed in Cancer in 6th or the 8th house and be aspected by a malefic Moon. If Sun, Venus and Saturn be all associated with malefics, the death of child will take place soon after his birth.
8. The child would die soon after birth if Sun be posited in the sign of Mars or Saturn and Jupiter placed in 10th be aspected by malefics. The child and the the mother would die if malefics posited in the 7th an 8th be aspected by malefics and get no benefic aspect.
9-10. If the lord of the sign occupied by Moon be posited in 8th house in conjunction wjth the lord of Ascendant aspected by malefics, the child would die in four months. If the lord of the sign occupied by Moon be in 7th house conjoined by a malefic and the lord of Ascendant received malefic aspects, the child would die within eighth months. If Jupiter placed in 8th house be aspected by all the malefics, without receiving any benefic aspect, he would be in a position of inflicting harm to the child. In other words the child would have very poor longevity. If Jupiter posited thus be in the sign of Mars the evil would be still more severe. If retrograde Saturn in a quadrant or 8th or 6th house owned by Mars the child would in all probabilities die in three years.
11 and 12. The following dispositions of planet are not favourable for the longevity of the newly born infants: 1) Saturn occupying 8th house from Ascendant; 2) Son in his sign of debilitation being posited in 5th or 9th house. 3) Mars in 8th or Mercury aspected by a strong malefic in 6th or 8th house cause death within four years. 4) Mercury in the sign of Moon, i.e. Cancer, and posited in 6th or 8th house aspected by Moon, also causes death within four years. 5) Venus posited in Cancer or Leo aspected by benefics from 6th , 8th or 12th house and also aspected by strong malefics allows the child to survive for six years. But when Ketu be rising in Ascendant the child would die immediately after birth.
