दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
इति त्रैराशिकेश्वरा लाघवेनोक्तास्संज्ञातन्त्रे ॥आद्याः कुजाद्या रवितोपिमध्यमास्सिताचृतीयाः क्रियतो दृकाणपाइति ॥
Thus the lords of the three parts of each sign trairashika lords are told in brief in the Samjna Tantra. From Aries, these are the lords of the drekkanas (one-third parts of a sign). The first ones begin with Mars. The middle ones begin with the Sun as well. The third ones are from Venus.
Simple meaning: Drekkana lords in short: from Aries, the first drekkanas start with Mars, the second with the Sun, the third with Venus.
अतिलाघवेनत्रैराशिकेश्वराउक्ताहरिभट्टदैवज्ञैः ॥
Short rule for drekkana lords: add 2, 0 or 5 to the sign number and cut by seven.
अत्र वर्तमानो राशिर्ज्ञेयः वर्तमानराशिः प्रथमद्रेष्काणे द्वियुतो द्वितीयद्रेष्काणे शून्ययुतस्तृतीयद्रेष्काणे पञ्चयुक् कर्तव्यस्सप्ततष्टेसूर्यात् द्रेष्काणस्वामी भवतीत्यर्थः ॥
Drekkana lord: take the sign number, add 2, 0 or 5 for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd drekkana, then cut by seven, counting from the Sun.
मुसल्लहा उक्तास्ताजिकरत्नमालायाम् ॥
