Now, O Muni, I shall declare to you the results pertaining to the sixth bhāva, by which you will come to know the diseases, wounds and so forth in the body of the native.

Śloka 2 — Wound on the body from a malefic 6th lord

If the lord of the sixth, being a malefic, is placed in his own house (the sixth), or in the deha (lagna), or in the eighth, then there is a wound on the body, in that limb which corresponds to the rāśi occupied by that bhāva.

In the same manner, if the lords of the bhāvas of the father and the rest are joined with their respective kārakas, and are also joined with the lord of wounds (the sixth lord), and are placed in the sixth or the eighth —
