दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
यः स्याद्भागदलं तयोः स भवति स्पष्टोथ दृष्टिग्रहः स्युस्तद्भागमिता लवा यदि तदा दृष्टिः स्फुटा सोच्यते ॥ज्ञेयं दृग्जनितं शुभाशुभफलं पूर्णं ततो धीमतां केषांचिन्मतमीदृशं दृशि मया खेचारिणां भाषितम्॥
Whatever is half the degrees of the two, that becomes the true look-planet (drishti-graha). Then, if the degrees equal that measure, that drishti (a planet's look) is called true. Then the good or bad result born of the look is to be known as full. This is the view of some wise ones. I have told it about the look of the planets.
Simple meaning: True look: half the degrees of the two gives the look-planet; when the degrees match it, the look is true and gives its full result.

For combinations: when the two planets are within the orb of light, the planet gives the result the yoga was meant for.
अथ दृष्टिगणिते विशेषांतरो मिश्रोक्तः ॥
Mishra's rule: from the degrees of the difference, if over 18, subtract from 30, then from 12 or from the planet's own orb.
न चेद्विशुध्यंति तदा न दृक् स्याद्यथोक्तदृक् तेन कला विनिघ्नाः ॥
Mishra's rule continued: if it cannot be subtracted, no look; else multiply the minutes by the remainder and divide by 12 or by the orb.
