दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
रात्रौ बलाढ्याश्शेषाःस्युरित्थं राशिबलं स्मृतम् ॥इति राशिबलं प्रोक्तं पुराणाचार्यसम्मतम् ॥ ५ ॥
At night the remaining signs are rich in strength. In this way sign strength is remembered. So sign strength is told, as agreed by the old teachers.
Simple meaning: Sign strength: at night the other signs are strong. This is the view of the old teachers.
अथाष्टधा ग्रहाणां बलफलमुक्तं पद्मनाभेन ॥ अत्र एकैकं प्रति सार्द्धविंशोपकं बलं ज्ञेयं ॥ संपूर्णबलं षड्विंशोपकात्मकं मध्यमं बलं त्रिविंशोपकात्मकं न्यूनं मध्यमबलं ज्ञेयं
Eightfold strength: Padmanabha gives results by strength. Each one counts one and a half vishopaka. Full is six and middle is three.

सार्द्धरूपे तनोः पीडा द्वाभ्यां दुःखं सुखं समम्॥
Strength of 1.5 to 4 units: body pain at 1.5, mixed at 2, happiness at 2.5, wealth at 3, success at 3.5, fame at 4.
