Muhurta Darpana 12

...they speak of the fault that is extremely difficult to remedy, known as the Eighty-six Faces original: "Shadashiti-vaktra"; a specific complex of inauspicious astrological degrees. Regarding the signs Rashi, lunar days Tithi, and constellations Taraka, the sounds and the divisions... in the matter of water and other subjects, nine do not shine. In that context, on both sides of the pulse-channel original: "nadya"; likely referring to the astrological transition period or "junction", portions equal to the qualities of the signs and arrows should be abandoned.

The faults of the Ascendant Lagna the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon should be avoided by the householder. When a malefic planet is rising, or in the eighth house, or if the seventh house is occupied by a malefic, or if the ascendant is joined with the lords of the sixth, eighth, or twelfth houses the "dusthana" or houses of suffering, then even the auspicious planets become like those killed in a funeral ground. || 72 ||

The 12th house original: "rihpa" along with the divisions of malefic planets, the entrance, and the "state of action" Karmavastha must be followed in order. In all works, one should abandon the aforementioned faults, as well as any other bad omens for the sake of one's children. || 73 ||

By these stated methods, having multiplied by the "sky" and "shrine" cryptic numerical notation; likely 0 and 9, and having divided the remainder by the numbers of the lunar days and limbs... one obtains the "States of Activity" from the Sun and others.

1. Displaced from one's position original: "sthana-bhrashta"

The Astrologer Jyotishvid who has attained this knowledge is like a teacher, an expounder who destroys enemies, a lover, and one who conquers kings.

...moving from one's own country, death, or being without wealth. Being in an improper place, or being a good counselor; a devotee of the earth, one seized by the world, one who delights in battle, one who is excessively hiding, or one who is a noble donor. || 75 ||

These five-fold actions should be applied to the Creator Brahma and the Enemy of the Cities Shiva; original: "Purari". One should declare the omens for all works based on these. || 77 ||
