दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
नीचे ग्रहः शोध्यो नीचं वा ग्रहे शोध्यं शोधिते सति यथा षड्भादल्पं भवति तथा कार्यम् ॥ तस्यांशा नवभक्ता उच्चबलं स्यादिति ॥
The planet is taken away from the low point, or the low point from the planet. Do it so that the rest, when taken away, is less than six signs. Its degrees, divided by nine, give the strength of the uchcha (high point).
Simple meaning: 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.
मित्रशत्रुरूपे मैत्रीचक्रे बलमुक्तं पद्धतौ ॥
Friend-enemy scheme: house strength 30 own, 15 friend, 7 and a half enemy; hadda half of each, drekkana a third, amsha a sixth.
