Positions of Certain Junction-Stars
34. (The junction-star of) Kṛttikā is at the end of the sixth degree (from the
initial point of that nakṣatra) and 3 1/2 cubits to the north of the ecliptic. (The
junction-star of) Rohiṇī is at the end of the eighth degree (of that nakṣatra)
and 5 1/2 (cubits) to the south.
35. The southern and northern (junction-) stars of Punarvasu are at the end
of the eighth degree (of the nakṣatra) and 8 (cubits) south and north (respectively).
The (junction-)star of Puṣya is at the end of the fourth degree (of that
nakṣatra) and 3 1/2 cubits to the north.
36. The southern (junction-) star of Āśleṣā is at the end of the first degree (of
that nakṣatra) and one cubit (to the south); so also is the northern (junction-
star). The conjunction (of the Moon) (with the junction-star of) Maghā occurs
in its own field at the end of the sixth degree (of that nakṣatra).
37. (The junction-star of) Citrā is at the end of 7 1/2 degrees (of that nakṣatra)
and 3 cubits to the south. The digits are counted from the centre of the Moon
where the minutes of the latitude end.
[शशितारयोरङ्गुलमानम् योगकालश्च]
विक्षेपात्सप्तदशापनीय तिथिसङ्गुणात् कृताग्न्यंशः ।
विद्यादङ्गुलमानं कालं दिनभोगविवरेण ॥ ३८ ॥
Digits between the Moon and a Star in Conjunction
And Time of Conjunction
38. Having subtracted 17 from the latitude (of the star with respect to the
Moon) multiply by 15 and take a thirty-fourth of that; this is to be known as
the number of digits (between the Moon and the star).
