Chapter 8 · Month Chart and Monthly Results
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
यो मे मासकृतेः समः करहतो योगस्तिथिः स्यात्तथा त्रिर्वारामिति तैः सहार्धसदृशं भं सर्वयोगे पुनः॥भूबाणाक्ष १५५१ कुभिर्भवेदुपमितिर्ग्रंथस्य तावद्धि यस्तं मन्ये गणितद्वयज्ञकमलप्रोद्बोधने भास्करम् ॥ ४ ॥
The date, as a riddle: The almanac yoga, times two (kara, 'hands'), equals the square of my month. The tithi (moon day), likewise, is three times the weekday. With these, the star is half of the whole sum. Again, in the total, with 1551 (bhu 1, bana 5, aksha 5, ku 1), comes the measure of the book. Whoever finds just that, I take him as the Sun. He wakes the lotuses, the knowers of the two maths. (Our text is unclear here: how the total and 1551 make the date is not stated.)
Simple meaning: Closing: a number riddle gives the book's date, with the number 1551.
पृथ्वीपते महावीर श्रीमत्साहिसुजातिके ॥
Closing: the book was made at Rajmahal in the time of the Shah.
इति श्रीमद्दैवज्ञाचार्यपंडितदामोदरात्मजबलभद्रविरचिते हायनरत्ने मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायोऽष्टमः ॥ समाप्तश्चायं ग्रंथः॥
The eighth chapter, on the month entry and the rest, ends here; so does the book.
