The elders among Yavanas say, that the Moon is of medium strength for ten days commencing from Sukla Padyami, i.e. first of Bright Lunar Half. During the following ten days (from the 11th day, or Ekadasi of Bright Lunar Half through the 5th day, or Panchami of Dark Lunar Half, or Krishna Paksha) she is exceedingly strong. And during the third ten-day period (from the 6th day, or Shashti of Dark Lunar Half through the New Moon day, or Amavasya) she has very little strength. If at birth the Moon has brilliant rays, is bright circled and full, it makes the native an un-encounterable king.

यवनाचारयो का कथन है कि शुक्लपक्ष की प्रतिपदा से शक्ल दशमी तक चन्द्रमा मध्यबली, शुक्ल एकादशी से कृष्णपक्ष की पञ्चमी तक उत्तम बली, और कृष्णपक्ष की षष्ठी से अमावस्या तक अल्पबली होता है
