षोडशयोगाध्यायः
एतदविचारितरमणीयम् ॥ यतस्समरसिंहेन उत्तमोत्तमकम्बूलोदाहरणे रविभौमाभ्यां यथा मेषेइत्यनेन चन्द्रपरौ यदि मिथस्स्वगृहोच्चसंस्थौ मेषे यथा कुजरवी तदतीव शस्तमित्यनेन च तेजस्सिंहेनापि मेषस्थयोरर्कभौमयोः कर्कस्थेन चन्द्रेण सहेत्थशालयोग उक्तस्तत्र मेषस्थयोरर्कभौमयोर्मन्दगयोश्शीघ्रगश्चन्द्रोऽग्रे भवतिनतुपृष्ठे तस्माच्छीघ्रमन्दग्रहयोर्मध्ये अग्रस्थत्वम्पृष्ठस्थत्वञ्च राशिचक्रे यथासम्भवं ज्ञेयम् ॥
This is pleasing only when it is not examined. For Samarasimha gives an example of the best kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets). He says 'with the Sun and Mars, as in Aries'. He also says this is very good: the two besides the Moon each in own house or uchcha (high point). Mars and the Sun in Aries are an example. Tejahsimha also gives ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) for the Sun and Mars in Aries with the Moon in Cancer. There the Sun and Mars are the slow planets. The Moon, the fast planet, is ahead and not behind. So ahead and behind are to be known in the circle of signs as the case allows. This holds between fast and slow planets.
Simple meaning: This view is refuted by Samarasimha's and Tejahsimha's examples. Ahead or behind in the zodiac depends on the case.
एतदेव मणऊयोगे ॥
Manau yoga: the slow planet, Mars or Saturn, may be ahead of or behind the fast one, or in the same sign.
इत्यनेन पद्येन समरसिंहेन शीघ्रमन्दयोरग्रपृष्ठस्थत्वं यथासम्भवमेव प्रदर्शितं सर्वयोगेष्वपि मुथशीलविचारो ग्रहाणामेकराशिगानां भिन्नराशिगानामपि भवत्येवेति स्पष्टमभिहितं च ॥
Ahead or behind depends on the case. The ithasala check works in one sign or in different signs.
अत्र स्वदीप्तांशैर्द्वादशांशैर्वामुथशीलयोगादयो विचारणीया इत्युक्तं ताजिकतिलके ॥
Yogas are judged by each planet's own orb or by twelve degrees.
