षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अथमध्यमोत्तमकम्बूललक्षणम् ॥स्वहद्दादिगतश्चन्द्रस्स्वभोच्चस्थेत्थशालकृत् ॥मध्यमोत्तममेतच्च पूर्वस्मान्न विशिष्यते ॥
Next, the mark of the middle-best kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets). The Moon is in its own hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign) or the like. It makes ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with lords standing in their own sign or uchcha (high point). This middle-best is no better than the kind before.
Simple meaning: Middle-best kambula: the Moon is in its own small part and links with lords in own or high sign.
पूर्वस्मादुत्तममध्यमकम्बूलात् ॥
Middle-best is no different from best-middle.
उदाहरणम् ॥
Middle-best kambula example, part 1: Libra rising, Venus in Libra at 17, Mars in Aries at 18.
स्वनवांशगतश्चन्द्रो मेषर्क्षे द्वादशांशकः ॥
Middle-best kambula example, part 2: Moon in Aries at 12 in its own navamsha.
