केतोरन्तर्गते जीवे केन्द्रे लाभे त्रिकोणगे । स्वोच्चे स्वक्षेत्रगे वापि लग्नाधिपसमन्विते ॥ ५१ ॥

कर्मभाग्याधिपैर्युक्ते धनधान्यार्थसंपदम् । राजप्रीतिं तथोत्साहमश्वांदोल्यादिकं दिशेत् ॥ ५२ ॥

गृहे कल्याणसम्पत्ति पुत्रलाभं महोत्सवम् । पुण्यतीर्थं महोत्साहं सत्कर्म च सुखावहम् ॥ ५३ ॥

इष्टदेवप्रसादेन विजयं कार्यलाभकृत् । राजसंल्लापकार्याणि नूतनप्रभुदर्शनम् ॥ ५४ ॥

षष्ठाष्टमव्यये जीवे दायेशान्नीचगेऽपि वा । चौराहिव्रणभीतिं च धनधान्यादिनाशनम् ॥ ५५ ॥

पुत्रदारावियोगं च त्वतीवक्लेशसम्भवम् । आदौ शुभफलं चैव अन्ते क्लेशकरं वदेत् ॥ ५६ ॥

दायेशात्केन्द्रकोणे वा दुश्चिक्ये लाभगेऽपि वा । शुभयुक्ते नृपप्रीतिर्विचित्राम्बरभूषणम् ॥ ५७ ॥

दूरदेशप्रयाणं च स्वबन्धुजनपोषणम् । भोजनाम्बरपश्वादि भुक्त्यादौ देहपीडनम् ॥ ५८ ॥

अन्ते तु स्थानचलनमकस्मात्कलहो भवेत् ॥ ५८½ ॥

द्वितीयद्यूननाथे तु ह्यपमृत्युर्भविष्यति ॥ ५९ ॥

तद्दोषपरिहारार्थं शिवसाहस्त्रकं जपेत् । महामृत्युञ्जयं जाप्यं सर्वोपद्रवनाशनम् ॥ ६० ॥
