Margshirsha being name of a month of Indian calender.
If the breath flows for five days at a stretch in the same nadi which was at work on the first day of the bright half of Ashwir, the person will die after fifteen years from that day. (Ashwin is the name of a month)
If the same happens for first five days of the month of Shravana, the person will die after twelve years. For ten days in the month of Jyeshtha, the person will die after nine years. For five days from the first of Maha, the person will die after three years are over.
सर्वत्र द्वि-त्रि-चतुरो वायुश्चेद्दिवसान वहेत् ।
अब्दभागैस्तु ते शोध्या यथावदनुपूर्वशः ॥८॥ - Meaning : If the breath flows in the same nadi (artery) at sunrise, on the day of the Sankranti of every month, for two, three, or four days, it should be said that a person lives for a period proportionate to that assigned for the particular month of Indian calendar when the breath flows for five days, continuously; as explained above. For example a breath flowing for two days in the begining of Sravan a indicates a life span of two fifths of twelve years.
Forecasting Age अथेदानी प्रवक्ष्यामि किञ्चित्कालस्य निर्णयम् । सूर्यमार्ग समाश्रित्य स च पौष्णेऽवगम्यते ॥८६॥
