ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
मध्याश्च सागराःख्यातास्तीरेसागरपार्श्वयोः ॥चत्वारः पर्वताः कोणाः पूर्वादिविदिशि क्रमात् ॥
The middle ones are called the seas. The shores are on the two sides of each sea. The four corners are the mountains, in order in the corner directions from the east.
Simple meaning: 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.
दुःखं समुद्रे सुखमेव तीरे शैले श्रियं संलभते मनुष्यः ॥
Sea wheel results: sea brings sorrow, shore happiness, mountain wealth; the birth nakshatra's own cell brings sorrow.
