षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अत्र पदोनं द्विविधं एकं तावद्ग्रहाणां समगृहसमहद्दासमद्रेष्काणे समनवांशगतत्वम् ॥ द्वितीयं सूक्ष्मे प्रातिविकलारूपे समगृहहद्दाद्रेष्काणनवांशानामादौ प्रांते वावस्थितत्वमिति जीर्णटीकाकृत् ॥
Here padona (in a neutral planet's place) is of two kinds. The first: planets stand in an equal (neutral) planet's sign, hadda, drekkana or navamsha. The second is the fine one, reckoned to each vikala (a second of arc). The planets then stand at the very start or end of such a sign, hadda, drekkana or navamsha. So says the writer of the old commentary.
Simple meaning: Padona has two meanings: standing in a neutral planet's place, or standing at the very start or end of one.
