Verse: Divide the value known as the Sun's equation of the center Bahu-phala a correction used to account for the elliptical shape of an orbit, turning a "mean" or average position into a "true" position separately by the unique divisors Haraka assigned to each planet. Apply the resulting minutes and seconds to the planets in the same manner as prescribed for the Sun's true position.
original Sanskrit: "Sūryabāhuphalasaṃjñaṃ grahāṇāṃ hārakaiḥ pṛthak | vibhajya labdha liptādi kuryātsūrya sphuṭoktavat ||"

Explanation: To calculate the correction for the planets, divide the Sun's equation of the center by these specific divisors: 361 for the Sun, 27 for the Moon, 687 for Mars, 88 for Mercury, 4332 for Jupiter, 224 for Venus, and 10766 for Saturn. If the result is to be added to the Sun's position, add it to all the other planets as well. If it is to be subtracted from the Sun, subtract it from all the planets. The results are expressed in minutes of arc Lipta and seconds of arc Vilipta.
