Chapter 11 · The Sun's Sign Entry and the Months
संक्रांतिप्रकरणम्
ऊर्ध्वं द्व्यात्ममृगेऽर्कसंक्रमणतः पूर्वं स्थिरे कर्कटे जूकाजोभयतः खरामघटिकाः पुण्या मृगे दिग्युताः । कर्काजांत्यवृषैणसूर्यचलनं निश्यन्यभं सद्दिवा सूर्यारार्किदिने तृतीयकरणे प्रांत्येऽष्टमे दुःखदम् ॥ १ ॥
Take the sankranti (the Sun's entry into a sign) into a dual sign or Capricorn. The holy time is after it. For a fixed sign or Cancer, it is before. For Libra and Aries, it is on both sides. The holy time is 30 ghatikas (24-minute units). For Capricorn, add 10. The Sun's entry into Cancer, Aries, Pisces, Taurus or Capricorn is good at night. Into the other signs, it is good by day. An entry on a Sunday, Tuesday or Saturday brings sorrow. So does one in the third karana (half of a moon day), the one before the last, or the 8th.
Simple meaning: The holy time around the Sun's sign entry is before, after or both sides; some days and times of entry bring sorrow.
