ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
ते ग्रहास्स्पष्टा एव ॥ उक्तंच भास्कराचार्यैः॥यात्राविवाहोत्सवजातकादौ खेटैः स्फुटैरेव फलं स्फुटत्वमिति॥
Those planets must be true ones. Bhaskaracharya says: In journeys, marriage, festivals, birth charts and the like, a result is exact only with true planets.
Simple meaning: 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.
अथ ब्रह्मसौरार्यादिपक्षाणां सत्त्वात्कस्मिन् पक्षे ग्रहाः साध्या इत्युक्तं दामोदरपद्धतौ ॥
Which planet-maths school to use: the one whose planets match what is seen in the sky.
