Simple meaning: Balarama's periods: the lords rule from Ardra, four and three stars in turn. Days: 20, 50, 27, 57, 33 and on.

बलोदिता यस्य दशा ग्रहस्य याद्या दशास्याद्भवशाद्दिनाद्या॥
Balarama's periods: divide a planet's days by the number of stars it rules. That gives each star's share.

Balarama's periods: split the running star's share by how much of the star has gone and how much is left.
