ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथ केवललग्नज्ञानादेव सकलभावराशिसाधनार्थं सुगमोपायो मत्कृतस्वेष्टलग्नाद्वक्ष्यमाणविधिना चरमानयेत्॥लग्ने मेषादिषड्भस्थे तेनोनास्तिथिनाडिकाः ॥१॥
Now my easy way to find the signs of all the houses from knowing the lagna (rising sign) alone. From your own wanted lagna, find the chara (day-length difference) by the method to be told. When the lagna is in the six signs from Aries, take it away from 15 ghatikas (24-minute units).
Simple meaning: Easy method for all houses: find the rising sign's day-length difference and take it from 15 (rising sign Aries to Virgo).
तुलादिषड्भैः सहिताः प्रकल्प्यास्तेंशकाः पुनः॥
Easy method: (rising sign Libra to Pisces) add the difference to 15 instead. Use that number as degrees and add it to the rising sign: the 1st…
तैर्युतो लग्नसंधिश्च धनभावो भवेदिह॥
Easy method: add the same step again for the 2nd house and the 2nd junction.
तैर्युक्तो धनसन्धिश्च भ्रातृभावो भवेत्स्फुटम् ॥
Easy method: keep adding the step for the 3rd house and the 3rd junction.
