( On the Knowledge of the Expunged Year )

When Jupiter, moving with accelerated speed Atichara: accelerated planetary motion, skips a sign other than the four starting from Aquarius, and does not return to the previous sign while in retrograde, then a year is considered "lost" or expunged. This is highly censured in the region between the Narmada and Ganges rivers. || 10 ||
original: "Somodbhava-Janhubhava-antarale" referring to the lands between the Narmada and Ganges.
If, by either true or mean motion, Jupiter does not enter a new zodiac sign during a lunar year, that year is considered an intercalary year Adhivatsara: an extra or overlapping year. Like an intercalary month, it should be avoided for auspicious ceremonies. || 11 ||

( On the Knowledge of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres )

The Northern and Southern celestial hemispheres begin from Aries and Libra respectively. The Southern and Northern solstices Ayana: the sun's half-year journey are said to begin from Cancer and Capricorn. The seasons, beginning with Spring, are defined by pairs of signs starting from Pisces. || 12 ||
The seasons are named Spring, Summer, the Rainy season, Autumn, Winter, and the Dewy season in sequence. The lords of these seasons are the masters of the signs corresponding to their names.

( On the Knowledge of Months )

Months are of four types: Solar, Lunar, Savana (civil), and Sidereal. || 13 ||
A civil month consists of thirty days. A sidereal month is determined by the moon's passage through the constellations. A solar month is determined by the sun's entry into a zodiac sign Sankranti: the sun's transit. A lunar month ends with the new moon; in the region north of the Vindhya mountains, the month begins with the dark fortnight Krishnadi: the Purnimanta system where the month ends on a full moon. For religious vows and in other regions, the month begins with the bright fortnight Shukladi: the Amanta system where the month ends on a new moon. Both the bright and dark fortnights are used accordingly.

The text highlights the regional differences in Indian timekeeping, specifically the Purnimanta system of the North versus the Amanta system of the South.
