Here is an example. At the year entry, the true Moon is at 28;16;31. The Moon's sign lord is Mars, at 8;19;57;8 in signs and so on. Its period comes first, 6 days. Mars's passed degrees, 19;57;8, times the period, 6, give 119;42;48. Its coming degrees, 10;2;52, times 6, give 60;17;12. Divided by thirty, they give the passed part, 3;4;9;25, and the coming part, 2;0;35. There, Mars's period of the coming part comes first, 2;0;35 days. Then Mercury's period days, 27. Venus's, 60. Jupiter's, 54. The Sun's, 60. Saturn's, 150. At the end, Mars's own period of the passed days, 3;59;25. Set these down. Know the periods at the month entry the same way.
Simple meaning: Natural periods, example: Mars, the Moon's sign lord, gets 2 days at the start and 4 days at the end. The others follow in order.
अथ नैसर्गिकादिदशादिवसानां मासे दिने च स्पष्टीकरणमुक्तं तत्रैव ॥
Natural periods in the month: by Gauri's view, the days times the month's span, divided by 30, become exact.
बल्लभद्रमतोक्तानां गौरीवत्स्पष्टता मता ॥
Balabhadra's periods: they are made exact the same way as Gauri's.
नैसर्गिकदशाहानां तद्वदेव स्फुटीकृतः ॥
Natural periods in the month: made exact the same way, with the first period split as before.
