An auspicious time for men's marriage occurs in the year of their life indicated by the number made up of 8 and the figure denoting the order from Mesha of the sign representing the 7th bhava: this year being in the nature of things subsequent to the investiture with the sacred thread generally preceding marriage. Add the figures for the lords of the 7th and the 1st bhavas and find out the Rasi and amsa indicated by the sum total. The girl born in the Rasi and amsa thus found is the one to win the heart of the person concerned. The husband-elect must equally prove acceptable to the wife.
