दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
एकद्वित्रिचतुर्थेषु लग्नपादेषु च क्रमात् ॥स्वस्वराश्यादिकेंद्रेशाः पादांशनायका मताः ॥४॥
Take the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of a lagna (rising sign), in order. The lords of the kendra (corner house) signs are held to be the lords of the padamsha (one-quarter part of a sign). They begin with each one's own sign.
Simple meaning: 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.
ओजराशौ स्वराश्याद्यास्समे सप्तमराशितः ॥
Seventh parts: in odd signs start from the sign itself, in even signs from the 7th sign.
