BPHS Chapter 44 Slokas 25-46
25-31. Sahaja Bhava and Death: O excellent of Brāhmaṇas, if Sūrya being with strength is in Sahaja Bhava, one will obtain his death due to a king (legal punishments). Candra in Sahaja Bhava will cause death due to tuberculosis, while wounds, weapons, fire and thirst will cause death through Maṅgal in Sahaja Bhava. If Sahaja Bhava receives a Dṛṣṭi from or is occupied by Śani and Rahu, death will be through poison, water, or fire, or fall from heights, or confinement. Death will surely come to descend through insects or leprosy, if Candra and Gulik occupy or give a Dṛṣṭi to Sahaja Bhava. Budha giving a Dṛṣṭi to or occupying Sahaja Bhava, will bring fever followed by death. Guru in Sahaja Bhava or giving a Dṛṣṭi to Sahaja Bhava, will cause death by swelling or tumors. Urinary diseases will cause death if Śukra is in or gives a Dṛṣṭi to Sahaja Bhava. Many Graha giving a Dṛṣṭi to or occupying Sahaja Bhava, will bring death through many diseases.
