Now, concerning this topic, I will explain the calculation of longevity (āyuḥ) derived from the Aṣṭavarga system. Two days are allotted for a "virēkhā" (a position with zero auspicious points), and one and a half days for a "rēkhā" (a position with one auspicious point).
दिनमेकं द्विरेखायां त्रिरखायां दिनार्धकम् ।
वेदतुल्यासु रेखासु सार्धसप्तदिनं स्मृतम् ॥२॥
वेदतुल्यासु रेखासु सार्धसप्तदिनं स्मृतम् ॥२॥

One day is assigned for a "dvirekhā" (a position with two auspicious points), and half a day for a "trirekhā" (a position with three points). For positions with auspicious points equal to the Vedas (which means four points), seven and a half days are traditionally assigned.
द्विवर्षं पञ्चरेखासु षड्रेखासु चतुःसमा ।
षड्वर्षं सप्तरेखासु वसवोऽष्टासु वत्सराः ॥३॥
षड्वर्षं सप्तरेखासु वसवोऽष्टासु वत्सराः ॥३॥

Two years are for positions with five auspicious points. For six points, four years are allotted. Six years are given for seven points, and eight years (the number of Vasus) for eight auspicious points.
एवं यदागतायुः स्यात् सर्वखेटसमुद्भवम् ।
तदर्धं स्फुटमायुः स्यादष्टवर्गभवं नृणाम् ॥४॥
तदर्धं स्फुटमायुः स्यादष्टवर्गभवं नृणाम् ॥४॥
4. evaṃ yadāgatāyuḥ syāt sarvakheṭasamudbhavam .
tadardhaṃ sphuṭamāyuḥ syādaṣṭavargabhavaṃ nṛṇām.
tadardhaṃ sphuṭamāyuḥ syādaṣṭavargabhavaṃ nṛṇām.

ardham sphuṭam āyuḥ syāt aṣṭavargabhavam nṛṇām
ardham sphuṭam āyuḥ syāt aṣṭavargabhavam nṛṇām

Thus, when a lifespan derived from all planets has been calculated, half of that lifespan is considered the precise (actual) lifespan for human beings, originating from the aṣṭavarga (system).
