When the waning Moon is in the lagna with the malefics in the 8th house and angles, there is death (of the offspring). And when the Moon is situated in the 8th, 4th, and 7th houses in-between the malefics, [there is death of the offspring]. In the same manner, [when the Moon] is in the lagna [in-between malefics] with malefics in the 7th and 8th houses and if not aspected by the benefics with power, [there is death of the offspring] along with the mother.
