Treatise on the Sun

...with two, six, and the elements original: "yama-rasais-tattvaih" — yama (2), rasa (6), and tattva (25) 43 662 are the revolutions. In the same manner, it is stated here that the sum of the periods of the six Manus A Manu is a progenitor of humanity who presides over a vast age called a Manvantara. along with their respective twilights original: "sandhis" — the transition periods between ages 44, as well as the twilight at the beginning of the Kali Yuga, and the time of the current Vaivasvata Manu—along with the three parts of the current Great Age that have passed, including the Krita Yuga 45, the time elapsed since the stated creation is this: 46 8,525,727,000. By this count of solar years, the gods and the eras of the Krita have passed.

The years elapsed are: ciphers, four, two, mountains, fires, arrows, openings, and the moon original: "kha-chatushka-yama-adri-agni-shara-randhra-nishakarah" — using the system where words represent numbers: 0, 4, 2, 7, 3, 5, 9, 1. Read in reverse, this represents 1,953,724,000 years. 47. 3 Beyond this, to the sum of the elapsed years of the current age, add the months that have passed in the current year, beginning with the bright half of the month of Madhu The month of Chaitra, marking the start of the Hindu lunar year. 48. Set this number aside and multiply it by the number of intercalary months original: "adhimasa" — extra months added to synchronize the lunar and solar calendars, then divide by the total solar months.

The resulting intercalary months are added to the months already elapsed; convert these into days and add the number of lunar days original: "tithis" that have passed in the current month 49. Set this sum in two places. Multiply it by the number of omitted lunar days original: "unaratra" and divide by the total lunar days. 50 The result is subtracted from the previous sum of days to find the terrestrial day-count original: "savana-dyugana" at midnight at Lanka The astronomical zero-meridian in Indian geography, located on the equator.. From this, the lords of the day, month, and year are determined.

Divide the day-count by seven; the remainder indicates the lord of the day, starting with the Sun 51. To find the lords of the month and year, take the total number of months or years, multiply by two or three respectively, add one, and divide by seven 52. The remainder identifies the planetary ruler. To find the mean position of a planet, multiply the total day-count by the planet’s specific number of revolutions and divide by the total civil days in a cycle 53. The result provides the planet's position in revolutions, signs, and degrees. The same applies to the fast-moving apogees original: "mandocca" which move forward 54. 3 The nodes original: "pata", however, move in reverse original: "viloma-gatayah"; their position must be subtracted from the total circle. Jupiter’s cycle is divided into twelve parts based on its current revolutions 54. Along with the signs...
