न्यसेद्भचक्रं किल तत्र सैकां याताब्दसंख्यां विभजेन्नभोगैः ॥शेषोन्मिते जन्मगचन्द्रराशेस्तुल्ये च राशौ विलिखेच्छशाङ्कम् ॥२॥
...set out the circle of signs there. Add one to the number of years gone. Divide by nine. Count the remainder from the birth Moon's sign. Write the Moon in the sign so reached.
Simple meaning: Three-flag wheel, the Moon: years gone plus one, divided by 9; count the remainder from the birth Moon's sign.
परे चतुर्भाजितशेषतुल्ये स्थाने स्वराशौ खचरास्तु लेख्याः ॥
Three-flag wheel, other planets: years plus one, divided by 4. Moon struck by Rahu: hardship; by the Sun: distress; by Saturn: illness.
महीजविद्धे तु शरीरपीडा शुभैश्च विद्धे जयसौख्यलाभः॥
Three-flag wheel: Moon struck by Mars, the body suffers; by good planets, victory, comfort and gain. Judge by the planets' strength.
चक्रेमेषराशिरुपलक्षणम् ॥ मेषस्थाने वर्षलग्नं ज्ञेयम् ॥
Drawing the three-flag wheel: where the wheel shows Aries, write the year's rising sign.
