मुसल्लहा उक्तास्ताजिकरत्नमालायाम् ॥मुसल्लहाःस्युः क्रियनक्रजूककुलीरपूर्वाक्रियपूर्वकाणामिति ॥
The musallahas (its own one-ninth part of a sign) are told in the Tajikaratnamala. The musallahas are those that begin with Aries, Capricorn, Libra and Cancer, of the groups that begin with Aries.
Simple meaning: Musallaha series start from Aries, Capricorn, Libra and Cancer.
एतत्स्पष्टेनदृशआहयादवसूरिः ॥
Where the musallaha series start: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo from Aries; Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces from Cancer; pot, twins, pot from the pot; the last…
अत्रताजिकभूषणताजिकालंकारादौ मुसल्लहेशा अन्यथैवोक्ताः ॥
Another view of the musallaha lords: four sets of three planets, counted from Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, by day, by night or both.
नैतद्रम्यम् यतस्समरसिंहेनैव वर्षेशनिर्णयार्थं त्रैराशिकेश्वरा उक्ता नतु मुसल्लहेशाः ॥
That view is rejected: Samarasimha gave the trairashika lords for the year lord, not the musallaha lords.
