चंद्रास्तसुखगः पापैर्मातुः पीडां समादिशेत् । जीर्णोद्धृतं गृहं मंदे सृजि दग्धं न वा विधौ ॥ ८६ ॥
caṃdrāstasukhagaḥ pāpairmātuḥ pīḍāṃ samādiśet | jīrṇoddhṛtaṃ gṛhaṃ maṃde sṛji dagdhaṃ na vā vidhau || 86 ||
पापग्रहांनी दूषित चंद्र अस्त-सुखग झाला तर मातेला पीडा सूचित होते. आणि शनी मंद असेल तर जीर्ण होऊन नंतर दुरुस्त केलेले घर दर्शविले जाते—ते अग्नीत जळू शकते किंवा विधिवश टिकत नाही.
