दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
लग्नादिरिःफान्तगतग्रहेषु योल्पो भपूर्वो हि खगस्स चादौ ॥स्थाप्योधिको स्यादधिकस्ततोग्रे चैवं क्रमादग्रमुखान्विलिख्य ॥
Take the planets standing from the lagna (rising sign) to the 12th house. Set first the planet that is least, counting signs first. Then set the one with more ahead of it. Write them all in this order, each further ahead.
Simple meaning: Yadava's order: list the planets from the lagna onward, by how far they stand from it.
लग्नं चाग्रखगात्त्यजेत्तदनु तच्छ्रेयो विलग्नादधः स्थाप्यस्तद्विहगन्तदग्रखगतः शेषस्तुपूर्वादधः ॥
Yadava's method: subtract each from the next, starting at the lagna. The gap from the last planet back to the lagna goes below the last one.
चं ल सू बु शु बृ श मं ग्रहाः
Worked table: each planet's place from Aries, its remainder, and its period in days.
ल सू बु शु बृ श मं चं ग्रहाः
Yadava's worked table: each planet's place counted from the lagna, its remainder and its period in days.
