Chapter 4 · The Sahamas
सहमाध्यायः
एतत्स्पष्टमुक्तं विश्वनाथताजिके ॥वक्ष्ये सहमपदानां स्पष्टीकरणमुत्तमम् ॥यस्मिन् राशौ तु सहमन्तल्लङ्कोदयमानकम् ॥
This is said clearly in the Vishvanatha Tajika. I shall tell the best way of correcting the sahama (special point for one life topic) places. In whatever sign the sahama stands, take that sign's Lanka rising time...
Simple meaning: Correcting the sahama, step one: in the sahama's sign, take the Lanka rising time.
विभजेदंशकैर्लब्धं पृथगेव निधापयेत् ॥
Correcting the sahama, steps two and three: divide, keep the result, then do the same with the local rising time.
तत्पूर्वलब्धसंयुक्तं नख २० भक्तं लवादिकम् ॥
Correcting the sahama, last step: add the two results, divide by 20. Add it in the north, take away in the south.
सहमे स्पष्टीकरणमुक्तं रोमकेण ॥
Romaka's second rule: add the two rising-time figures, divide by ten. Add in the north, take away in the south.
