दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
मेषादिसर्वराशीनां त्रिभागेषु यथाक्रमम् ॥आद्यपंचनवेशानां द्रेष्काणा भणिता बुधैः ॥
Take the three parts of every sign, from Aries on, in order. The wise say the drekkanas (one-third parts of a sign) belong to the lords of the first, fifth and ninth.
Simple meaning: Drekkana: the three parts of a sign go to the lords of the 1st, 5th and 9th.
एकद्वित्रिचतुर्थेषु लग्नपादेषु च क्रमात् ॥
Quarter parts: the four quarters of a sign go to the lords of the corner signs, starting from the sign itself.
कुजार्कीज्यबुधाः शुक्रः पंचमांशेषु नायकाः॥
Fifth parts go to Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus in odd signs, and in reverse order in even signs.
मेषाद्याविषमे राशौ समराशौ तुलादिकाः॥
Sixth parts: in odd signs start from Aries, in even signs start from Libra.
