Hathi se kaan hote hain maut ki aahat sun lete hain, Ketu aath wale ko sabse pehle kisi ki mrityu ki khabar dete hai.
They have ears like an elephant, they hear the footsteps of death; the ones with Ketu in the 8th are the first to give the news of someone's death.
Continuing with Ketu in the 8th house, Dr. Sharma reveals the profound psychic abilities associated with this placement.
The 8th house rules the veil between life and death. When Ketu (the planet of intuition and the subconscious) sits here, the native develops an uncanny, almost supernatural sixth sense.
Dr. Sharma poetically states that they have "ears like an elephant" ("hathi se kaan"), meaning they can hear things others cannot. Specifically, they can sense the "footsteps of death" ("maut ki aahat"). When someone in their family or circle is about to pass away, the person with Ketu 8 will often have a premonition, a dream, or an unexplainable feeling, making them the first to know or deliver the news of the passing.
