From Ancient Texts
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra
अस्तं गते तु सौम्ये च क्रूरे वा सूर्यसन्निधौ।
तद्बलं हीयते सर्वं फलं नैव प्रदीयते॥
astaṃ gate tu saumye ca krūre vā sūryasannidhau
tadbalaṃ hīyate sarvaṃ phalaṃ naiva pradīyate
When a benefic or malefic planet becomes combust near the Sun, its strength diminishes and it cannot deliver its results.
— Maharshi Parashara
