The learned indicate that the 22 nd Drekkana causes death to
the person. The death will be caused by the manner
attributed to the lord of this Drekkana or the lord of the rasi
to which it belongs
Death will occur in places similar to the rasi occupied by the
lord of the Navamsa, in which the birth falls. Further details
or specialties must be described by conjunctions and
planetary aspects. The time of death has to be identified by
the unrisen number of navamsas in the birth. If the birth lord
aspects it, the time must be doubled; aspected by benefics,
the time will be trebled
The dead body, as per the Drekkana in the 8 th house, viz.,
dahana, jala and misra, will be reduced to ashes by fire or
atoms by water respectively. If the 8 th Drekkana is vyala, the
body will be disgraced. The disposal of the dead body must
be explained in this manner and as regards past and future

births, the reader must consult elaborate works on the

subject
