वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
उक्तञ्च ताजिकभूषणे ॥वर्षस्वामिविचारार्थमेषा त्रैराशिकेश्वरा ॥दिवारात्रिक्रमेणादौ चिन्तनीया मनीषिभिः ॥
It is said in Tajikabhushana: To judge the year lord, the wise should first think of these trirashipas (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). They do so by day and by night, in order.
Simple meaning: To find the year lord, first find the lord of a four-sign group, by day or by night.
तत्र त्रैराशिकशब्देन किमुच्यत इति चेदत्रोच्यते ॥ मेषादिद्वादशराशीनां मध्ये मेषादिचतुष्टयं प्रथमो राशिस्सिंहादिचतुष्टयं द्वितीयो राशिः धनुरादिचतुष्टयं तृतीयोराशिः ॥ एवं निष्पन्नास्त्रयो राशयस्त्रैराशिकशब्दवाच्याः॥
Trairashika means the three groups of four signs each: Aries to Cancer, Leo to Scorpio, Sagittarius to Pisces.
त्रैराशिकस्वामिन आह तेजस्सिंहः ॥
Group lords: Aries to Cancer, by day Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus; by night Jupiter, Moon, Mercury, Mars. Leo to Scorpio: day and night swap…
विनिमयाद्दिनरात्रिव्यत्ययात् सदेशाः दिवा रात्रौचेशाः॥
