दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
सर्वस्मिन् ग्रहे भावे च यथायथा राशिसमीपवर्त्यंशस्थितत्वम्भवति ॥ तथा तथा महाफलदातृत्वमस्ति॥यथायथांशोपचयस्तथातथा तुच्छफलदातृत्वमस्ति॥प्राग्ग्रहापेक्षया किञ्चिन्यूनमितियुक्तिः॥
For every planet and house, the nearer it stands to the start of its sign, the bigger its results. The more its degrees grow, the smaller its results. Compared with the planet before it, each gives a little less. This is the reasoning.
Simple meaning: Degree and results: a planet or house near the start of its sign gives big results. As its degrees grow, its results get smaller.
एवंजीर्णताजिकशास्त्रमूलभूतं हीनांशक्रमेण दशानयनं श्रीमन्नीलकण्ठदैवज्ञैर्नवीनमतताजिककर्तृभिश्चोक्तम्॥
Least-degree order: it rests on the old Tajika texts. Nilakantha and the newer writers teach it too.
एतत्स्पष्टं मुक्तावल्याम्॥
Counting signs is wrong: some count the periods by least signs. They ignore the old rule that the signs are dropped.
इत्यलमतिप्रसगेन ॥
End of the argument: no more needs to be said.
