Ease of Planetary Calculation

The degrees of the Sun's current position, adjusted for the precession of the equinoxes original: "sayana"; the tropical longitude, are subtracted from thirty to find the remaining degrees to be traversed. These are multiplied by the rising time of that sign original: "svodaya" and divided by thirty; the result is the remaining time of the current sign.

measured in palas a unit of time equal to 24 seconds

|| Now, the Example of the Three Problems ||

|| The rising times at the equator original: "lankodaya" in breaths original: "vighatika" are: 278 for Aries, 298 for Taurus, and 333 for Gemini.

With the local ascensional difference segments original: "charakhandakas": * The distance in yojanas a traditional unit of distance north of Avanti modern Ujjain, the prime meridian of ancient Indian astronomy should be multiplied by the shadow and divided by the radius. This is added or subtracted... ink faded?... by 41. Another method: The distance from Avanti... when the result is combined with five fingers, the distance for northern countries is 125.

Local rising times These values (344, etc.) are placed in direct and reverse order. They are decreased or increased by half the ascensional difference original: "charadala" in direct and reverse order starting from Aries. From Libra, they are applied in reverse.

1. The remaining degrees of the Sun's position (adjusted for precession) are subtracted from thirty. The result is the remaining time. Similarly, the elapsed time is found from the elapsed degrees.

By the elements... 5

The elapsed time is to be calculated. The remaining time is subtracted from the desired time original: "ishta-kala" in ghatis and palas. 2. From the subsequent signs, their rising times are then subtracted. Multiply the remainder by thirty original: "shad-gagana-guna"...

The longitude of the Ascendant is found by adding the signs between the Sun and the Ascendant = 3

...the result in degrees and minutes is added to the preceding signs starting with Aries. This becomes the Ascendant original: "Lagna" when the precession original: "ayanansha" is subtracted. 3. If the desired time is less than the remaining time, multiply by thirty and divide by the local rising time to find the Sun's position in the Ascendant. The Sun's traversed portion added to the Ascendant's elapsed time...

Divided by sixty, it becomes ghatis, etc.
...added to the mean, becomes the desired time. 4. In one sign: If the Ascendant and the Sun are in the same sign, the difference in their degrees is multiplied by the rising time and divided by thirty to find the desired time. The rising time of the tropical position multiplied by the desired time... divided by the rising time... the tropical position is subtracted from the day and night 60 60... becomes the Ascendant.

5. Regarding the celestial sphere: whether the planet is in the northern or southern hemisphere, in the signs beginning with Aries or Libra... text breaks off?
