During the entire dasha of Moon, he will be devoted to a Guru. In the dasha of Rahu and bhukti (antardasha) of Shani he contacts severe illness.

A Jätaka born in Vaishnavämsha is pious and likes sweets. He is of yellowish colour or Lotus colour and is able to cure or help others through his learning.

He is tall steady and lean and has eyes that resemble lotus (or looks like Lotus leaf). He is possessed of learning, humility, pleasing speech and is soft in nature.

Chandrashekhar’s Comment: I think “padmapatranibhexana” means one who resembles Lotus leaf as the jataka is already said to be lean and being delicate looking like a lotus leaf is an apt simile.

He has two wives, is devoted to his mother and has many siblings. When the jätaka is young, his elder sibling, who has not enjoyed the pleasures of life (quite young) dies. 355

His wife is sickly at 16 years and of his four sisters one has her husband under her control.

Chandrashekhar’s Comment: I think SvastrI is the right word and not KustrI and have hence translated it as jataka’s wife.

Capable of rearing his siblings and a learned person with auspicious marks, one of his daughters is devoted to her husband while other one is of bad tendencies/habits (character?)

One of his brothers is of bad character, unfaithful and lustful. His father is shrewd (crook ?). In the 56 year of age he becomes seriously ill due to his own mistakes.

Chandrashekhar’s Comment: YonayH means source and I have therefore translated this to mean the jataka is the source of his own great disease. Now the Jataka being a learned man and with all good qualities as indicated in earlier shlokas, it is not likely that he will invite this great disease due to addictions. Therefore I think the reference might be to either food poisioning or something like gastroenteritis. The next shloks also seems to confirm his fondeness to food and the likelihood of serious health problems due to his own carelessness appears likely.

He will die at Seventy two years of age due to indigestion. He has many sons and nephews lives happily due to inheritance (Jataka earns well and has landed property).
