Lamp of the Giver of Life

From the half-sum of the rising values at the equator Lanka and those derived from the local latitude Palaprabha, the Tajika calculation is produced. 45

Using the rising values of the specific location Desha, the experienced rising Bhukta-udaya of the planet starting from Aries Mesha should be determined. Add this to the desired aspect values as previously stated. One should then divide the sum by three hundred original: vyoma-abhra-agni — literally "space-cloud-fire," a numerical code for 0-0-3 (300). The remainder, starting from Aries, should be multiplied by ten original: digbhih — "by the directions," signifying the number 10. The resulting value provides the degrees of the aspect Drik for that planet. 46

Through this method, the aspect is found. Then, the local aspect degrees mentioned in the verse should be calculated. In this procedure, first, one must determine what is currently required. Calculate the experienced portion Bhukta produced by the local rising values. Then, find the signs of the experienced rising starting from Aries. Afterward, divide by thirty original: khavagni — "sky-fire," meaning 30. The sum of the signs starting from Aries is fifteen (15). 1 When divided, these become the degrees Lava. There, the current...
