Multiply the Sun's mean motion by one and divide by twelve for Jupiter; also multiply by one and divide by one thousand and thirty-two.
For Venus, multiply by ten and divide by six, then subtract the result of multiplying by ten and dividing by two hundred and forty-three. ॥ 9 ॥

Multiply by one... means: Take the Sun's mean motion the "Dhruva" or constant starting position, multiply it by one, and divide by twelve. Set aside the resulting years and other units. Again, take the Sun's mean motion, multiply it by one 1 and divide by one thousand and thirty-two (1032). Add these resulting units to the previously calculated figures and then add the base constant Dhruva. This result is the mean position of Jupiter Sanskrit: Jiva. Here, the instruction to "multiply by one" is used simply to complete the poetic meter of the verse, as it does not change the value.

Multiply by ten... means: Take the Sun's mean motion, multiply it by ten, and divide by six. Set aside the result. Again, multiply the Sun's mean motion by ten and divide by two hundred and forty-three (243). Subtract this second result from the first result and add the base constant. This gives the position of the "Fast Apex" shighrocca: the anomaly used to calculate the position of inner planets of Venus Sanskrit: Sita. ॥ 9 ॥

For Saturn, divide by sixty thousand and also by thirty.
For the Moon's Node, divide by twenty and by two hundred and eighty-five; this moves in reverse. ॥ 10 ॥

Multiply by six... means: Divide the Sun's mean motion by sixty thousand (60,000). Set the result aside. Again, divide the Sun's mean motion by one Sanskrit: Chandra/Moon represents 1 and then divide by thirty Sanskrit: Kha-vahni. Add these results to the previously calculated units 2 and add the base constant. This is the mean position of Saturn Sanskrit: Arki.

By twenty... means: Divide the Sun's mean motion by twenty Sanskrit: Nakha/Nails represents 20. Set the result aside. Again, divide the Sun's mean motion by two hundred and eighty-five (285) Sanskrit: Pancha-anga-netra. Add these results together, and then subtract that total from the base constant. This is the Moon's Node Sanskrit: Chandra-pata, also known as Rahu. Because it has a retrograde motion 3, it is subtracted from the constant. In all these calculations, the "years" are not recorded as they are not needed for the final position; only the signs and degrees are preserved.

Rules for Mean Motion

1. K. version: "Having multiplied." 2. K. version: "In the units of years etc." 3. K. version: "Due to retrograde motion."
