BPHS Adhyāya 55, śloka 69-72

Śloka 73-75 — Moon debilitated, in an enemy's sign, or in 6th/8th from the daśā lord; remedy

नीचारिस्थेऽष्टमे षष्ठे दायेशाद्रिपुरन्ध्रके । मरणं दारपुत्राणां कष्टं महा विनाशनम् ॥ ७३ ॥ पशुधान्यक्षयश्चैव चौरादिरणतो भयम् । द्वितीयद्यूननाथे तु ह्यपमृत्युर्भविष्यति ॥ ७४ ॥ देहजाड्यं मनोदुःखं दुर्गालक्ष्मीजपं चरेत् । श्वेतां गां महिषीं दद्यादनेनारोग्यमादिशेत् ॥ ७५ ॥

When [the Moon] is debilitated or in an enemy's sign, or in the 8th or the 6th, that is, in the 6th or the 8th from the daśā lord — there is death, hardship for wife and sons, and great destruction; loss of cattle and grain, and fear from thieves and from battle. But if he is lord of the 2nd or the 7th, there will be untimely death, dullness of body and sorrow of mind. One should undertake the japa of Durgā and Lakṣmī, and should give a white cow and a buffalo; by this one may declare health.
