क्रमाद्गतैष्यानुदयांश्च शेषमशुद्धहृत्खाग्निगुणं लवाद्यम् ॥विशुद्धपूर्वापरभे विहीनयुतं खभं स्यादयनांशहीनम् ॥लग्नं सषड्भं मदनाभिधानं तुर्याभिधं स्याद्दशमात्सषड्भात् ॥
Then take away the risings of the signs gone or to come, in order. Multiply the rest by 30. Divide by the rising that could not be taken away. This gives degrees and so on. Take it from the sign before the cleared ones, or add it to the sign after them. Remove the ayanamsha (the zodiac shift). That is the 10th house. The lagna (rising sign) plus six signs is called the 7th. The 10th plus six signs is called the 4th.
Simple meaning: 10th, 7th and 4th houses: the 10th from the time from midday; add six signs to the rising sign for the 7th, and to the 10th for the 4th.
अथ पूर्वनतेपि धनलग्नानयनार्थं मदीयं वृत्तम् ।
Balabhadra's shortcut for the 10th house: with eastern time from midday, use the time from midnight and the Sun plus six signs.
अथ नतं विनैव लग्नादेव दशमलग्नसाधनमुक्तं विवाहवृन्दावने ॥
The 10th house from the rising sign alone: treat the rising sign as the Sun, find a new rising sign at half the night, then take six signs from both.
अयमर्थः प्रथमं स्वाभीष्टकाले स्वदेशीयोदयैर्लग्नं कार्यं ततस्तदेव लग्नं दशमलग्नार्थं सूर्यं कल्पयित्वा अयनांशाढ्यभानोरिति चरदलमानेयम् । ततश्चरपलयुतहीना नाडिकाः पंचचंद्रा द्युदलमथनिशार्द्धं याम्यगोले विलोममितिरात्रिदलमानेयं ॥ ततो रात्रिदलमेवेष्टकालं प्रकल्प्य प्रागानीतं लग्नमर्कं कल्पयित्वा व्यक्षैर्लंकोदयैरुक्तप्रकारेणानीतं लग्नं चतुर्थलग्नं भवति । अथ ते प्राग्लग्नचतुर्थे षड्राश्यूने क्रमेण सप्तमदशमलग्ने भवेताम् ।
Steps for the 10th house: rising sign, then its day-length difference, then half the night, then a new rising sign (the 4th); less six signs gives…
