दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
त्र्यंगानि६३खाब्धयः४०पूर्णशैला७०स्तद्दिवसा मताः ॥वर्षप्रवेशनक्षत्राद्दशेयं रामसम्मता ॥२॥
... 63, 40 and 70. These are held to be their days. This dasha (planet period), agreed by Rama, starts from the nakshatra (star) of the year entry.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods, continued: the last days are 63, 40 and 70. Count from the star of the year entry.
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.
यावर्तमानास्य तु भस्य भुक्तिः सा तद्भभक्तैष्यघटी विनिघ्ना॥
Balarama's periods: split the running star's share by how much of the star has gone and how much is left.
युते विधेये गतगम्यभानां भुक्त्या दिनाद्ये गतगम्यके स्तः ॥
Balarama's periods: the first lord's remaining part opens the year. The others follow. The first lord's gone part closes it.
