From the planet's position, the AharganaThe total count of civil days elapsed from a fixed epoch. is established in two ways. Divide by the constant, and the resulting parts are the degrees. The remainder is multiplied by sixty and divided again to find the minutes. These two results are subtracted from the Ahargana. Again, divide the Ahargana by two hundred and fifty (250); the result is in minutes. The remainder is multiplied by sixty and divided by three hundred. This result is subtracted from the previous position. This gives the "face" or starting position of Mercury. Here too, the minutes are western; if they are additive, they are divided by sixty and added to the degrees. The remainder becomes the signs. Then, multiply by the cycles and subtract the cycle-reduction, adding the KshepaAn additive constant or epochal position.. Divide those signs by twelve to get the final signs and degrees. Others say these are the revolutions of the stars. This is the prior knowledge to be placed in the year by practitioners. ॥ 1 ॥

Beginning with the month of Chaitra of the Sun beginning with the sign of Aries 30 with the planetary constant meaning half-moon with the constant two those divided by 12, the remainder is
If the IndutungaThe Moon's apogee. is in degrees and so on, it is increased by its own revolutions and divided by the elapsed time. From the number nine, mountain, and earth original: "navakugiri" representing the number 179, the half-lagna is obtained in two ways...

Now, the middle path from the planets, starting with the days etc. Who wrote in this country/place?

Of the kings 32, of the Moon 1, thousands with the water 32 11 12 divided, the result is from the beginning the result of the two is one =
The retrograde minutes are produced by the sequence of multiplication. ॥ 11 ॥ Beginning with Capricorn 38 The day-count is doubled in two places, increased by the mountains the number 7, and divided by the parts; the result is the degrees and minutes.

12 divided by 1; beginning with the signs 17; minutes etc.

At night 10 multiplied by three (3) 26 of the Sun 38 with the night 12 111
The difference is Mars. Multiply the day-count by three, then by its own parts... the Shighra-kendraThe "fast anomaly" used to calculate the apparent position of a planet. is found. Multiply by two, and the Capricorn constant is subtracted from the minutes. ॥ 12 ॥

First the minutes and degrees, second the minutes. The second sum is divided by twelve; the remainder is the signs etc. Its water is the shadow... which is = 1

The Capricorn constant 30 31 of the Sun multiplied by three 14
The day-heap Ahargana divided by the constant gives Jupiter in degrees. The day-heap is increased or decreased by its own "mountains" 7. The day-heap multiplied by three is placed in two spots...

12 divided by 3; beginning with the signs 73; minutes etc.

The "fast" one meaning Jupiter 30 cycle of the Sun beginning with Capricorn
Having reached the line, that is the revolution of the signs of the center. ॥ 13 ॥ The day-count divided by thirty original: "khagni" or 30 is Saturn, starting with the "face." The day-count is multiplied by six and five...

The second is decreased = The grace of the feet of the ringed one... or produced from...

This is Saturn of the void 790 5 41 motion from Chaitra
With the results in minutes and so on, the motion of the Sun is produced. The motion of Venus and the others... the motion of the apogee is thirty-five. ॥ 14 ॥

Of the planet 31 26 of the constant motion 31 24
For Rahu the North Node of the Moon, the three-limbed constant is subtracted... the motion of the Moon's node is calculated in minutes and seconds.

2 also devoid of minutes...

This is the duty of the Teacher even for many others 3917 shining cause from the Surya Siddhanta
The teachers are the arrows in their own center... the motion of the center is eleven, and for Saturn, two. ॥ 15 ॥ The solar constant and the lunar minutes...

Excellent of Brahma by duty, you are the bitter juice of the Neem tree of policy this exists the father here
The center of Saturn is for the sake of the mean motion, which is beloved and visible.

From this, the calculation...

When the proof is established, then one should point out the previous duty and the methods of calculation. ॥ 16 ॥ Thus ends the work of the most excellent teacher of all scriptures, the illustrious
