ASPECTUAL DIAGRAM: As depicted by Lord Brahmā, I now narrate the aspectual diagram so that aspects are easily understood by a mere sight of the diagram. Draw a square or a circle marking the 8 directions (4 corners and 4 quarters thereof). Mark the zodiacal signs as under: Aries and Taurus in east, Gemini in the north-east, Cancer and Leo in the north, Virgo in the north-west, Libra and Scorpio in the west, Sagittarius in the south-west, Capricorn and Aquarius in the south, and Pisces in the south-east. The aspects (as per the earlier ślokas) can be shown in a square diagram or circular diagram (as per convenience).

Hindi

ब्रह्माजी द्वारा कथित दृष्टि-चक्र निर्माण कहता हूँ — जिसके जानने से दृष्टि-भेद सर्वथा स्पष्ट हो जाता है। पूर्व में मेष-वृष, दक्षिण में कर्क-सिंह, पश्चिम में तुला-वृश्चिक, उत्तर में मकर-कुम्भ लिखें। अग्निकोण में मिथुन, नैऋत्य में कन्या, वायव्य में धनु, ईशान में मीन की स्थापना करें — इस प्रकार चतुरस्र या वृत्ताकार दृष्टि-चक्र बनता है। ब्रह्माजी ने विशेषतया वृत्ताकार लिखने का निर्देश दिया है।
