षोडशयोगाध्यायः
अत्र स्थानदृष्टिसद्भावेपि दीप्तांशातिक्रमेण नक्तयोगो भवतीत्युक्तं यादवेन ॥लग्नेशकार्यपखगौ निजभागदृष्ट्या हीनावुभौ परखगोंतरगः प्रपश्यन् ॥नीत्वा महश्चरगतेरचलाय दद्यान्नक्तं भवेदपरहस्तविलंबसिद्ध्यै ॥
Here, Yadava says that nakta (a faster planet linking two others) forms even when there is a look by sign. This happens if the planets pass beyond their deepta degrees (the planet's orb of light). The lagna (rising sign) lord and the lord of the matter both fall short in the look of their own degrees. A third planet stands between them and looks at both. It takes light from the fast one and gives it to the slow one. That is nakta. It gives success through another's hand, after delay.
Simple meaning: Nakta by sign look: the planets are out of orb. A third planet between them takes light from the fast one and gives it to the slow one. Success comes late, through another.

Nakta chart: Virgo rising, Jupiter at 12 in Pisces, and the Moon at 12 in Sagittarius or 11 in Taurus.
अत्रोदाहरणमाह स एव ।
Nakta example: Jupiter at 12 in the lagna, Mercury in the 7th, the Moon between them in Cancer. A wife is gained through another.
इति नक्तयोगः॥अथ यमयायोगः॥तत्र यमयायोगलक्षणमुक्तं ताजिकभूषणे ॥
Yamaya: a slow planet looks at two planets that do not see each other. It takes light from the fast one and gives it to the slow one.
