दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथपञ्चवर्गीबलन्तत्प्रयोजनं चाह यादवसूरिः ॥बलं विंशोपकज्ञानम्पञ्चवर्गीबलंविना ॥नभवेदथवक्ष्यामि पञ्चवर्गीप्रसाधनमिति ॥
Now the strength by panchavargi (five-part strength), and its use, is told by Yadava Suri. Knowing strength in vishopakas (twentieth parts) cannot happen without the panchavargi strength. So now I shall tell how the panchavargi is worked out.
Simple meaning: Why panchavargi is needed: strength in twentieth parts cannot be known without it, so its working out is given.
ताजिकालंकारेपि ॥
Why panchavargi comes first: the year lord cannot be settled without knowing the planets' strength, so the five-part way is given.
पञ्चवर्गानाह समरसिंहः ॥
Five places of strength: own house, high point, hadda, trairashika and musallaha. A planet with none of them is not strong.
