दृष्टिसाङ्गबलेष्टकष्टाद्यानयनाधिकारः
एतत्स्पष्टेनदृशआहयादवसूरिः ॥अजधनुर्हरयोजमुखात्स्मृतास्त्वलिकुलीरझषाश्चकुलीरतः ॥घटमुखा घटयुग्मघटामता ?मृगवृषमकरादयइति ॥
Yadava Suri says this plainly. Aries, Sagittarius and Leo are remembered from Aries. Scorpio, Cancer and Pisces are from Cancer. Those that start from the pot (ghata) are held to be the pot, the twins (yugma) and the pot. Then mriga (Capricorn), vrisha (Taurus) ... beginning with makara (Capricorn). (Our text is unclear here: a few syllables before 'mriga' are lost, so the last group is not complete.)
Simple meaning: Where the musallaha series start: Aries, Sagittarius, Leo from Aries; Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces from Cancer; pot, twins, pot from the pot; the last group, from Capricorn, is partly lost.
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.
मेषादिचतुस्त्रैराशिकेश्वरा रविसितार्किभृगवो हि
Lords for the four signs from Aries: by day Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus; by night Jupiter, Moon, Mercury, Mars; always Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Moon.
