The original text does not give this division of a Chap- ter. But the first 76 verses of this kanda have no astrological significance. What pertains to astrology begins now. Hence we have made this into a new Chapter. Draw the figure of Goddess Sarasvati under the sacred Aum (3%). Draw ten vertical lines and over them ten horizontal lines. The squares formed by even columns and similar rows (omitting four squares in the centre) are twelve. They represent the twelve signs of the Zodiac counted from Mesha. We will now describe the function of the twelve Bhavas (houses) from lagna onwards so that the wise can ascertain their significance.
