ग्रहवर्णप्रयोजनम् ॥ वर्षे सबलग्रहवर्णवस्तुलाभो निर्बलग्रहवर्णवस्तुहानिरेतज्ज्ञानार्थम् ॥
The use of planet colours: to know this. In the year, things of a strong planet's colour are gained. Things of a weak planet's colour are lost.
Simple meaning: Colours of planets: things of a strong planet's colour are gained, of a weak planet's colour lost.
एवमन्यदपि ज्ञेयम् ॥ इति ग्रहस्वरूपम् ॥
End of the planet natures: other uses follow the same way.
अथवर्षप्रवेशवेलानयनम् ॥ तत्साधनमुक्तं यादवेन ॥

Year entry time: add the birth weekday and time, carry the sixties, divide by 7. The remainder gives the weekday and time.
