This table gives Balarama's periods for the example. The lords are Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Venus. Their first stars and star counts: Ardra 4, Magha 3, Hasta 4, Anuradha 3. Then Purvashadha 4, Dhanishtha 3, Uttarabhadrapada 4, Krittika 3; total 20 as printed. Their days: 20-0, 50-0, 27-0, 57-40, 33-20, 63-20, 40-0, 70-0; total 360. Their month periods in days, ghatikas (24-minute units) and parts: 1-40-0, 4-10-0, 2-13-20, 4-43-20. Then 2-40-40, 5-16-40, 2-30-0, 5-50-0; total 30.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods table: each lord's first star, star count, days in the year and days in a month.
सू | चं | मं | बु | श | बृ | रा | शु | यागः
Balarama's periods table for one day: each planet's share of the 60 ghatis.
अत्र प्रकारन्तरं वर्षफलप्रदीपे ॥
Another way: at the year entry, the part of the day's star gone, times the first period, over 60, gives the period gone.
वर्षप्रवेशे प्रथमं दशा सा ततः क्रमेणैवमिहेतरेषाम् ॥
Order: the first lord's remaining part opens the year. The others follow. Its gone part closes the year.
