षोडशयोगाध्यायः
इतीत्थशालः ॥ अथेसराफयोगः ॥ तत्रेसराफयोगलक्षणं ताजिकभूषणे ॥शीघ्रग्रहो मंदगतेर्ग्रहात्तु यदैकभागं पुरतः प्रयाति ॥तदेसराफस्स तु मूसरीफः पुरातनैर्दुष्टफलः प्रदिष्टः ॥
This ends ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect). Next, the israpha (planets moving apart after an aspect) combination. Its mark is given in the Tajikabhushana. When a fast planet goes one degree ahead of a slow-moving planet, that is israpha. It is also called musaripha. The ancients said it gives a bad result.
Simple meaning: Israpha: a fast planet gets one degree ahead of a slow planet. The old teachers said it gives a bad result.
अथ शीघ्रग्रहस्य मन्दग्रहस्यैकांशातिक्रमणे ईसराफयोगः ॥ एकांशापूर्त्तौ कलानामतिक्रमणेपीत्थशालयोग इति जीर्णटीकाकृत् ॥
Israpha forms one degree after the meeting. Before the full degree, it is still ithasala.
अत्रेसराफयोगस्सौम्यग्रहजनितश्शुभ इत्युक्तं हिल्लाजे ॥
Israpha made by a good planet is good: the work is not spoiled.
अथ शीघ्रग्रहो मन्दमतिक्रम्य द्वादशांशाभ्यधिको भवेत्तदापि मूसरिफः शुभफलद एवेत्युक्तं यादवेन ॥
Israpha past twelve degrees: it is good. Between one and twelve degrees past, musaripha is not good.
