1. O Brahmin, following are the effects, produced by Ari Bhava, relating to diseases, ulcers etc. Listen to this attentively.

2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should Ari’s Lord be in Ari itself, or in Lagn, or Randhr, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The Rasi, becoming Ari Bhava, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb.

3-5. Relatives Affected. The Karak of a relative, or the Lord of such a Bhava, joining Ari’s Lord, or being in Ari, or Randhr Bhava, indicates ulcers/bruises to such a relative, like father. Surya with such lordship and in such a Bhava denotes such affectation of head, Candr of the face, Mangal of the neck, Budh of the navel, Guru of the nose, Sukr of the eyes, Sani of the feet and the Rahu and Ketu of the abdomen.

6. Facial Diseases. Should Lagn’s Lord be in a Rasi of Mangal, or of Budh and has a Drishti on Budh, there will be diseases of the face.

7-8½. Leprosy. Mangal, or Budh, having ownership of the ascending Rasi and joining Candr, Rahu and Sani, will cause leprosy. If Candr is in Lagn, which is not however Cancer, and be with Rahu, there will occur white leprosy. Sani in place of Rahu will cause black leprosy, while Mangal similarly will afflict one with blood-leprosy.

9-12½. Diseases in General. When Lagn is occupied by the Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava along with Surya, the native will be afflicted by fever and tumours. Mangal, replacing Surya, will cause swelling and hardening of the blood vessels and wounds and hits by weapons. Budh so featuring will bring in billious diseases, while Guru in similar case will destroy any disease. Similarly Sukr will cause diseases through females, Sani windy diseases, Rahu danger through low-caste-men and Ketu navel diseases. Candr in Yuti with the Lords of Ari and Randhr Bhava will inflict dangers through water and phlegmatic disorders. Similar estimates be made from the respective significators and Bhavas for relatives, like father.
