उच्चबलानयनमुक्तं वामनेन ॥नीचोनितो ग्रहः षड्भाधिकोमण्डल १२ शोधितः ॥शेषस्यांशा नंद ९ भक्ता बलमुच्चस्य जायतइति ॥
Vamana tells how to find the strength of the uchcha (high point). Take the planet less its nicha (low point). If it is more than six signs, take it away from 12 (the circle). Divide the degrees of the rest by nine (9). That gives the strength of the high point.
Simple meaning: High-point strength: planet minus its low point; if over 6 signs, take it from 12; divide the degrees by 9.
अथात्रमामकंपद्यम् ॥
Balabhadra's rule: find the gap from the low point, keep it under 6 signs, and take a ninth of its degrees as high-point strength.
नीचे ग्रहः शोध्यो नीचं वा ग्रहे शोध्यं शोधिते सति यथा षड्भादल्पं भवति तथा कार्यम् ॥ तस्यांशा नवभक्ता उच्चबलं स्यादिति ॥
Explaining the verse: subtract either way so the gap is under 6 signs, then divide its degrees by 9.
अथाधिमित्रमित्रसमशत्र्वधिशत्रुरूपे मैत्रीचक्रे बलविभाग उक्तस्ताजिकतिलके ॥
Five-grade strength by place: full in own sign, less a quarter in a great friend's, less a half in a friend's, less three quarters in a neutral sign…
