Verse 7.4

सार्धोदितोदितनवांशहतात् समस्ताद् भागोऽष्टयुक्तशतसंख्यम् उपैति नाशम् ।
क्रूरे विलग्नसहिते विधिना त्वनेन सौम्येक्षिते दलम् अतः प्रलयं प्रयाति ॥ ४ ॥

sārdhoditoditanavāṃśahatāt samastād bhāgo'ṣṭayuktaśatasaṃkhyam upaiti nāśam |
krūre vilagnasahite vidhinā tvanena saumyekṣite dalam ataḥ pralayaṃ prayāti || 4 ||

From multiplying the amount of the navamshas which have risen together with (the lagna) divided by 108, one attains the loss by this rule when a malefic is in the lagna. But when a benefic, by this it incurs half dissolution from this.
