अथात्रमामकंपद्यम् ॥नीचग्रहान्तरं कार्यं षड्भादल्पं यथा भवेत् ॥तदांशांक ९ लवः स्वोच्चबलं स्यात्ताजिके स्फुटमिति ॥
Now here is my own verse. Take the difference between the planet and its low point, so that it comes out less than six signs. Then one ninth (9) of its degrees is the planet's own high-point strength, plainly, in Tajika.
Simple meaning: 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…
समर्क्षगे शत्रुगृहोपयाते निजाष्टमांशप्रमितं बलं स्यात् ॥
Strength by place, continued: neutral sign less three quarters, enemy an eighth, great enemy a sixteenth; the high-point strength is then added.
