Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 104

Jyotiṣa-saṅgraha: Varga-vibhāga, Bala-nirṇaya, Garbha-phala, Āyuḥ-gaṇanā

Devanagari script

क्षीणेऽब्जे व्ययगे पापैर्लग्नाष्टस्थैः शुभा न चेत् । केंद्रेषु वाब्जोसंयुक्तः स्मरांत्यमृतिलग्नगः ॥ १०४ ॥

Transliteration

kṣīṇe'bje vyayage pāpairlagnāṣṭasthaiḥ śubhā na cet | keṃdreṣu vābjosaṃyuktaḥ smarāṃtyamṛtilagnagaḥ || 104 ||

Translation

Si el “Loto” (Venus) está debilitado y situado en la casa duodécima, y faltan influencias benéficas mientras los maléficos ocupan el ascendente y la octava, entonces—sobre todo cuando el “Loto” se une a un planeta en los kendras—el ascendente se vuelve indicio del recuerdo final y de la muerte.

FAQs

It links technical jyotiṣa indicators (afflictions to Venus, lagna, and the eighth) with the theme of life’s final moment—suggesting that one’s end and the quality of final remembrance are influenced by karmic/planetary conditions, encouraging preparedness through dharma and inner discipline.

While the verse is technical (jyotiṣa), its implication supports bhakti practice: since the “end-time remembrance” is crucial, devotees are urged to cultivate constant remembrance of the Divine so that final recollection is steady regardless of adverse indications.

Jyotiṣa (a Vedāṅga): interpretation of Venus (Śukra) when weakened and placed in the twelfth, the role of malefics in lagna and the eighth, and the importance of kendras (angular houses) in judging critical life outcomes.
