10-11. If Mercury occupies Cancer identical with 6^th, or 8^th from Ascendant and is aspected by the Moon, life is only up to 4. The efficacious Raja Yogas expounded by Yavanas may produce persons of high descent. Even such children are subject to premature end in this case.

12-13. If the birth star is identical with the one, in which Ketu rises, the native lives only for two months. Should the Sun be in 10^th House identical with that of Mars, or Saturn and aspected by strong malefic, the native faces immediate death.

14-15. Should the Ascendant fall in Nigala, Sarpa, Pakshi, or Pasa decanate and be occupied by malefic planets, without the aspect of the decanate Lord concerned, the native lives up to 7 years only. If Rahu is in an Angle and aspected by malefics, the longevity is only 10, while, according to some, it is 16.

16-17. If malefics are Angles and Trines, while benefics are relegated to 6^th, 8^th and 12^th, one born at the time of sunrise dies at once. If the three planets, viz. the Lords of Navansa Lagna, Moon Sign and natal Ascendant, are combust, the person lives just for a few years.

18. If the 6^th is occupied by the Ascendant Lord, death occurs in the year corresponding to Rasi concerned. If the occupant is the Lord of rising decanate, death occurs in the month corresponding to Rasi concerned and, if it is Lord of Navansa Lagna, the Rasi concerned causes death in so many days.

19. If Saturn is in the Ascendant in aspect to malefics, longevity is only 16 days. If Saturn in the Ascendant is in the company of malefics, death occurs in a month and, if he is alone in the Ascendant without malefic connections, the child lives for one year.
