सहमाध्यायः
अथ च समरसिंहस्य यद्येष एवाभिप्रायोभिमतः स्यात्तदा यद्यंतरराश्यंतरित्यादिपद्योक्तप्रकारगौरवमपहाय प्रथमपद्यकथनानंतरं तत्र राश्यादिलग्नं क्षेप्यमित्येव प्रकारं लाघवात्समरसिंहो ब्रूयात्तच्च न कृतमतो लग्नद्वितीयभवनादित्येकमेव पदं जायत इति सिद्धांतः ॥
Moreover, if this were Samarasimha's wish, he would have said it briefly. After the first verse he would have said only 'add the lagna (rising sign) in signs and degrees'. He would have left out the long way stated in the verse beginning 'yadyantararashyantar'. He did not do that. So the single word 'lagna-dvitiya-bhavanat' ('from the 2nd house from the lagna') stands. This is the conclusion.
Simple meaning: Conclusion: Samarasimha meant 'from the 2nd house from the lagna' as one phrase, since otherwise he would have said it more briefly.
एतत्स्पष्टमुक्तं तेजःसिंहेन ॥
Tejahsimha says it clearly: by day add the Sun's degrees left, the Moon's degrees gone and the signs between.
स्याच्चेन्नान्तरराश्यन्तर्लग्नन्तस्यांशके च ये ॥
If the lagna is outside, add its degrees gone. If it is inside, the next verse tells what to do.
तदात्रोदयभोग्यांशाः पात्यास्स्युर्भागपिण्डतः ॥
If the lagna is inside, subtract its degrees left. Then subtract 30 per sign from the 2nd house.
