## Yogashastra, Fifth Light, Verses 85-92:
**If the wind blows continuously in one nadi for six years, death is certain.** If the wind blows in one nadi for five days starting from the first day of the month of Magh, it indicates death within three years. ||81-84||
**Knowledge of Death Through Wind**
||547|| If the wind blows for two, three, or four days in one nadi, then the lifespan should be reduced by that many divisions of the year. For example, if the wind blows in one nadi for five days at the beginning of the month of Margashirsha, death is predicted in eighteen years. If the wind blows for four days instead of five, then the lifespan should be reduced by one-fifth of eighteen years, which is three years, seven months, and six days. This results in a lifespan of fourteen years, four months, and twenty-four days. Similarly, if the wind blows for three or two days, the lifespan should be calculated accordingly. The same rule applies to the months of Sharad and others. ||85||
**Another Method for Determining Lifespan Through Wind**
||548|| Now, I will explain another method for determining lifespan. This method is based on the path of the Sun and is known as the "Paushnakal." ||86||
**The Nature of Paushnakal**
||549|| When the Moon is in the birth nakshatra and the Sun is in the seventh house from its own sign, and the Moon has traversed the same number of birth signs as the Sun has traversed the seventh house, then this period is called "Paushnakal." Death can be determined during this period. ||87||
**Determining Lifespan Through Wind in Paushnakal**
||550|| If the wind blows in the Surya nadi for half a day during Paushnakal, death will occur in the fourteenth year. If the wind blows for a full day, death will occur in the twelfth year. ||88||
||551|| Similarly, if the wind blows for one day and night, two days, or three days in the Surya nadi during Paushnakal, death will occur in the tenth year, eighth year, and sixth year respectively. ||89||
||552|| If the wind blows for four days, death will occur in the fourth year. If it blows for five days, death will occur in the third year, or after one thousand eighty days. ||90||
||553|| If the wind blows continuously for six, seven, eight, nine, or ten days in the Surya nadi, the lifespan will be reduced by one, two, three, four, or five twenty-fours from the total of 1080 days. ||91||
**Explanation of the Above**
||554|| If the wind blows for six days, the lifespan will be one thousand sixty-five days. ||92||
