षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अथ शीघ्रग्रहो मन्दमतिक्रम्य द्वादशांशाभ्यधिको भवेत्तदापि मूसरिफः शुभफलद एवेत्युक्तं यादवेन ॥चरोचराच्चरेल्लवम्पुरस्सईसराफकः ॥शुभो न मूसरीफकश्शुभोऽर्के १२ भागगस्तु चेत् ॥
Next, Yadava speaks of musaripha. It gives a good result when the fast planet is more than twelve degrees past the slow one. The fast one goes one degree ahead of the slow one: that is israpha (planets moving apart after an aspect). Musaripha is not good. But it is good if it has gone twelve degrees.
Simple meaning: Israpha past twelve degrees: it is good. Between one and twelve degrees past, musaripha is not good.
अत्रोदाहरणमाह स एव ॥
Example of israpha: Jupiter at 16 and Mercury at 17 means no marriage yet. Mercury at 28 brings it.
अथेसराफयोगेविंशोपकानयनम् ॥
Strength of israpha: fast planet's degrees less the slow planet's, times 20, divided by the fast planet's orb.
इतीसराफयोगः ॥ अथ नक्तयोगः ॥ तत्र नक्तयोगलक्षणं संज्ञातन्त्रे ॥
