Chapter 1 · Planets, Signs, Year Entry
ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
उक्तञ्चपद्धतौ ॥अब्दप्रवेशे खचरास्सचाराः करणान्निजात् ॥साधनीया विलग्नश्च स्पष्टं कार्यं निजोदयैः १
And it is said in the Paddhati. At the year's entry, find the planets with their motions from one's own karana (short handbook for planet maths). And make the lagna (rising sign) exact with the rising times of one's own place.
Simple meaning: Year's planets and rising sign: planets from your own handbook; rising sign from the rising times of your own place.
ते ग्रहास्स्पष्टा एव ॥ उक्तंच भास्कराचार्यैः॥
True planets needed: for journeys, marriage, festivals and birth charts, results come right only with true planets.
अत्रादिशब्देन वर्षप्रवेशादौ ज्ञेयम् ।
The phrase 'and the like': it includes the year chart too.
ताजिकसारेपि
No true planets, no result: without exact planets, results cannot be told.
