यद्यपि स्वल्पाक्षभेदेंशे कालस्य ह्रस्वदीर्घत्वं न संभवति तथापि बह्वक्षभेदेंशे तत्संभवत्येव । तद्यथा ॥ यत्राक्षभाद्वादशांगुलाः तत्र मकरादीनामुदयपलानि म० २८३ कुं० २०३ मी० १५८ मे० १५८ वृ० २०३ मि० २८३ कर्कादीनामुदयपलानि च क० ३६३ सिं० ३९५ क० ३९८ तु० ३९८ वृ० ३९५ ध० ३६३ अत्र मकरादितः कर्कादीनामुदयपलानि बह्वधिकानीतिज्ञेयं ।
Where the latitude in degrees is small, the rising time does not become short or long. Yet where the latitude in degrees is large, it surely does. For example, take a place where the akshabha (noon shadow at the equinox) is 12 angulas (finger-widths). There the rising palas (24-second unit) of Capricorn and the rest are as follows. Capricorn 283, Aquarius 203, Pisces 158, Aries 158, Taurus 203, Gemini 283. And the rising palas of Cancer and the rest are as follows. Cancer 363, Leo 395, Virgo 398, Libra 398, Scorpio 395, Sagittarius 363. Here the rising palas of Cancer and the rest are much more than those from Capricorn on. This should be known.
Simple meaning: Rising times differ with latitude: at a 12-finger noon shadow, Capricorn to Gemini rise quicker than Cancer to Sagittarius.
एषां प्रयोजनमाह समरसिंह एव ।
Moon in the long-rising signs: a waxing Moon there brings increase. The reverse brings loss.
मेषादिराशीनां संज्ञांतरमुक्तं वराहेण।

केंद्रादिसंज्ञा उक्तास्तेनैव ।
Kinds of houses: the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th are corner houses. The houses after them are succeeding, and the next are falling.
