Chapter 1 · Planets, Signs, Year Entry
ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथ वर्षप्रवेशे शुभाशुभफलज्ञानार्थं समुद्रचक्रमुक्तं विष्णुयामले ॥तिर्यगूर्ध्वगता रेखाश्चतस्रस्तत्र संलिखेत् ॥कृत्तिकादीनि ऋक्षाणि पूर्वाब्धेः सव्यमार्गतः ॥
Next, for knowing good and bad results at the year's entry, the Samudra chakra (sea wheel) is told in the Vishnuyamala. Draw four lines there, across and upright. Write the nakshatras (stars) from Krittika on. Start from the eastern sea and go round to the left.
Simple meaning: Sea wheel for the year: draw the grid and write the nakshatras from Krittika, starting at the eastern sea and going round to the left.
मध्याश्च सागराःख्यातास्तीरेसागरपार्श्वयोः ॥
Sea wheel: middle cells are seas, the cells beside them shores, the corners mountains.
त्रित्रिभं सागरे देयमेकैकं तीरकोष्ठके ॥
Sea wheel: three nakshatras per sea, one per shore, two per corner: 28 in all.
यत्र स्याज्जन्मनक्षत्रं ततो वर्षफलं लभेत् ॥
Sea wheel: the birth nakshatra's cell gives the year result; months and days follow the same way.
