 Dasha result of 6th, 8th, or 12th house lord if it is placed in the 8th house.

Original Sanskrit Verse

राश्योर्जन्मविलग्नयोर्धृतिपतिर्मृत्युस्थतद्वीक्षको मन्दः

क्रूरदृगाणपो गुलिकपस्तैर्युक्तराश्यंशपाः :
राहुश्चैष सुदुर्बलः स जनने भावानभीष्टस्थितः
पापालोकितसंयुतो निजदशायां भावनाशावहाः ॥ ८ ॥

 

Simplified Meaning

This verse explains how certain planetary afflictions can destroy the good results of houses during their planetary periods (dasha):

Afflicted Lords

If the lord of the 6th, 8th, or 12th house is placed in the 8th house.

If Saturn aspects such a planet.

If cruel planets (Mars, Saturn, Rahu) or Gulika are associated.

If the signs and divisional charts (Navāṁśa etc.) of these planets are also afflicted.

Weak Rahu

If Rahu is weak (in 6th, 8th, or 12th house, or under malefic influence).

If such afflicted planets occupy key houses (Lagna, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 10th, 11th).

Malefic Influence

If malefics further aspect or conjoin these houses.

Result in Dasha

During their dasha, these planets destroy the significations of the house they occupy or influence.

This can manifest as loss, obstacles, health issues, financial troubles, or misfortunes.

 

Essence in One Line

When weak or afflicted malefic planets occupy or influence important houses, their dasha brings destruction of those houses’ benefits.
