दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथात्रसुगमोपायोमत्कृतः ॥दृष्ट्याविहीनदृश्यस्य शेषतो दृष्टिरुच्यते ॥एकशेषे विनाराशिमंशार्धा दृष्टिरुच्यते ॥
Next, here is an easy way made by me. The drishti (a planet's look) is told from what is left of the planet looked at, made less by the look. When one is left, without the sign, the look is said to be half the degrees.
Simple meaning: Easy rule: when the count is 1, the look is half the degrees.
१ | २ | ३ | ४ | ५ | ६ | ७ | ८ | ९ | १० | ११ | १२
Table of the easy rule: counts 1 to 12 use half the degrees, the degrees gone or still to travel, doubled or with their half added.
द्विभे पञ्चदशोपेतं भागार्द्धञ्च त्रिशेषके॥
Easy rule: 2 signs, half the degrees plus 15; 3 signs, half plus 30; 4, joined with its own half.
भोग्यांशा पञ्चमे द्विघ्ना भुक्तांशा दृष्टिरुच्यते ॥
Easy rule: 4th, degrees still to travel plus half; 5th, degrees gone doubled; 6th, degrees to travel doubled; 7th, degrees gone plus half.
