लब्धांशास्तु यथाप्राप्तखण्डघ्नास्त्रिंशतोद्धृताः । लब्धवर्षादिभिर्हीनं प्राप्तायुः प्रस्फुटं भवेत् ॥ ४६॥

The latest product should be multiplied by the number of basic years and divided by 30. This will yield the net longevity.

english translation

योगहेतौ शनौ कक्ष्याह्रासोऽन्यैर्वृद्धिरुच्यते । न स्वर्क्षतुङ्गगे नो वा पापमात्रयुतेक्षिते ॥ ४७॥

Special Rule for Śani. Should Śani be a contributor, the class of longevity declines. Some advocate contrarily an increase of class in this context. If Śani is in its own Rāśi, or in exaltation, change in class will not occur. Even, if he receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with only a malefic, no change occurs.

english translation

लग्नसप्तमगे जीवे शुभमात्रयुतेक्षिते । कथितस्यायुषो विप्र कक्ष्यावृद्धिः प्रजायते ॥ ४८॥

Special Rule for Guru. If Guru is in Lagn, or in Yuvati Bhava and receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with only benefics, the class of longevity will increase.

english translation

अनायुश्चेद् भवेदल्पमल्पान्मध्यं प्रजायते । मध्यमाज्जायते दीर्घं दीर्घायुश्चेत्ततोऽधिकम् ॥ ४९॥

Increase and Fall in Class of Longevity. From very short life to short life, from short life to medium life, from medium life to long life and from long life to extremely long life are the increases in the classification of longevity, when Guru warrants an increase.

english translation

योगहेतौ गुरवेवं कक्ष्यावृद्धेश्च लक्षणम् । एतस्माद् वैपरीत्येन कक्ष्याह्रासः शनौ भवेत् ॥ ५०॥

The reverse is true, if Śani warrants a fall in the span of life.
