Divide this by the number of planets. If the remainder results in the five-fold original: "panchaka" combinations, they are: disease, fire, king, thief, and death. Among these, the Arrows of the Fire and the King are considered auspicious, while the Arrow of Thieves and the Arrow of Disease are understood to be auspicious in specific sequences involving the third and seventh days from the Sankranti.

Now, regarding the odd and even numerical combinations for the PanchakaA period of five days or a calculation of five types of auspicious/inauspicious influences.: twenty for the even and half for the odd. Similarly, in the calculation for the NakshatrasLunar mansions or star constellations., one should place thirteen lines on the head... This refers to a diagrammatic method of calculation used by astrologers.

When the Sun and Moon join in this way, the Ekargala defect arises.
