केंद्राद्या हस्त सन्खेटैरदृष्टो मृत्युदस्तथा । षष्टेमेब्जेऽसदृष्टेसद्यो मृत्युः शुभेक्षिते ॥ १०५ ॥
keṃdrādyā hasta sankheṭairadṛṣṭo mṛtyudastathā | ṣaṣṭemebje'sadṛṣṭesadyo mṛtyuḥ śubhekṣite || 105 ||
यदि केंद्र आदि मुख्य स्थान हस्त-संख्या से निर्धारित ग्रह-दृष्टि/समर्थन से रहित हों, तो वह योग मृत्यु देने वाला होता है। इसी प्रकार छठे और ग्यारहवें भाव पर उचित दृष्टि न हो तो तत्काल मृत्यु; पर शुभ दृष्टि हो तो फल शुभ होता है।
