संज्ञाध्यायः
कृतिभिश्च तुलाभवने रवितः कथितं मदने खलु नीचमतः ।मिथुने तमसः शिखिनो धनुषि प्रथमे बुधभे गुरुभे भवनम् ॥ ९ ॥
For Saturn, the high point is in Libra, at 20 degrees. This list goes in order from the Sun. The 7th sign from each high point is its low point. Rahu's high sign is Gemini. Ketu's is Sagittarius. Their own house is a sign of Mercury and a sign of Jupiter. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'first' in the last line, and which signs of Mercury and Jupiter are meant.)
Simple meaning: Saturn is highest in Libra. The 7th sign from it is low. Rahu is high in Gemini, Ketu in Sagittarius.
होरा राशिदलं समे प्रथमतश्चन्द्रस्य भानोरतो
A sign has halves, thirds, ninths and twelfths. Each part has its own start and its own lord.
पञ्चपञ्चाष्टशैलाक्षास्त्रिंशांशा विषमे क्रमात् ।
In odd signs the 30th parts are 5, 5, 8, 7, 5 degrees. In even signs the order is reversed.
चरणविवृद्ध्याखेटादशमसहोत्थे १०।३ त्रिकोणभे ५।९ जनने
A planet's look grows by quarters: 3rd and 10th, then 5th and 9th, then 4th and 8th, then 7th.
