Correction of the ascertained rays: The Sage said — O Maitreya! Other Ācāryas have recommended further correction of the number of rays worked out in the manner described above. The corrections have to be made as follows — (1) If the planet be in his sign of exaltation, the number of rays ascertained should be trebled. (2) If the planet be in his Moolatrikona, the number of rays ascertained should be doubled. (3) If he be in his own rasi, the number of rays ascertained should be multiplied by 3 and the product be divided by 2. (4) If he be in the rasi of his Adhimitra (great friend), the number of rays ascertained should be multiplied by 4 and the product be divided by 3. (5) If he be in the house of a friend, the number of rays should be multiplied by 6 and the product be divided by 5. (6) The number of rays ascertained should be halved if the planet be in the house of his enemy. (7) If he be in the house of his Adhi-shatru (great enemy), the number of rays ascertained should be multiplied by 2 and the product be divided by 5. No correction is to be made if the planet is in the house of a neutral. The effects should be declared after computation of the net number of rays of each planet.
