दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथ दृष्टिगणिते विशेषांतरो मिश्रोक्तः ॥दृश्यस्य द्रष्ट्रा रहितस्य भागा गजेंदुत १८ श्चेदधिकाः खरामा ३० त् ॥शोध्याः पुनस्ते रवितो १२ विशोध्याः स्वदीप्तभागादथवा विशोध्याः ॥
Now, in the working of the drishti (a planet's look), another special point is told by Mishra. Take the degrees of the planet looked at, less the looker. If they are more than 18, take them away from 30. Then take these away from 12. Or else take them away from the planet's own deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light).
Simple meaning: 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.
ग्रहदृष्टिप्रयोजनमाह वामनः ॥
Use of a planet's look: planets give results in step with the look, and strength decides how much, good or bad.
अथ दृष्टिप्रधानत्वान्मैत्रीचक्रस्य पूर्वं दृष्टयोभिहितास्तत्रावसरप्राप्तं मैत्रीचक्रमुच्यते ॥ तत्र मैत्रीचक्रं चतुर्विधं ॥ एकं दृष्टिवशेन मित्रसमशत्रुरूपं ॥ द्वितीयं दृष्टिवशेनाधिमित्रसमशत्रुअधिशत्रुरूपं ॥ तृतीयं दृष्टिवशेन मित्रशत्रुरूपम् ॥ चतुर्थं दृष्टिं विनैव नियतमित्रशत्रुरूपम् ॥
Four friendship schemes: friend, neutral, enemy by look; five grades by look; friend and enemy by look; and fixed friends and enemies with no look.
