केंद्राद्या हस्त सन्खेटैरदृष्टो मृत्युदस्तथा । षष्टेमेब्जेऽसदृष्टेसद्यो मृत्युः शुभेक्षिते ॥ १०५ ॥

ಹಸ್ತ-ಸಂಖ್ಯಾ ವಿಧಾನದಿಂದ ನಿರ್ಣಯಿಸಲ್ಪಡುವ ಗ್ರಹದೃಷ್ಟಿ/ಆಧಾರ ಕೇಂದ್ರಾದಿ ಮುಖ್ಯ ಸ್ಥಾನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಇಲ್ಲದಿದ್ದರೆ—ಆ ಯೋಗ ಮರಣದಾಯಕ. ಹಾಗೆಯೇ 6ನೇ ಮತ್ತು 11ನೇ ಭಾವಗಳು ದೃಷ್ಟಿರಹಿತವಾಗಿದ್ದರೆ ತಕ್ಷಣ ಮರಣ; ಶುಭದೃಷ್ಟಿ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಫಲ ಶುಭ.

It frames worldly longevity as contingent and interpretable through Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa, urging discernment and detachment—so that one turns toward mokṣa-oriented living rather than mere fear of fate.
By highlighting the uncertainty of life (even ‘immediate death’ indications), it implicitly reinforces bhakti-driven urgency: remember the Lord, live dharmically, and prioritize liberation over unstable material calculations.
Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa: the interpretive role of house strength/aspects (dṛṣṭi) involving kendras and specific houses (6th and 11th) to judge inauspicious vs. auspicious outcomes.
