Ch. I – Miśrakādhyāyaḥ 47
159. Hastā, Puṣyā, Āśleṣā, Rohiṇī, Śatatāraka (Śatabhiṣā), Pūrvabhadrā,
Uttarabhadrā - these stars are to be written on the third row.
160. Uttaraphālgunī, Purvaphālgunī, Pitṛ (Maghā, Mūlā), Agni (Kṛttikā),
Bharaṇī, Aśvinī, and Pauṣṇa (Revatī) - these seven stars are to
be put on the door line.
161-163. Three stars starting from Aśvinī, five stars starting from
Ārdrā, four stars starting from Pūrvāṣāḍhā, Uttarabhādrapadā and
Revatī - these are under the lunar house while others are under
the solar house. If the lunar stars come under the Sun, and the
Sun is united with the Moon then that place will be devoid of
any particles and Śalya. It indicates that there is no Dravyaśalya,
only a small quantity of other particles may be there.
164. If the Sun is in the western direction and the Moon in the East,
in that position one can detect Śalya. If the Sun is in the Eastern
direction and the Moon is in the West there one can indicate
(Vinirdiśet) the 'Dravya'.
165. At the time of sunrise, the star of the Nāḍī is to be divided by
60. If the remainder is 17 (dinendu) in the daily motion of the
planet (bhuktiyukte), it will be candramā at that time.
166. The position of the Sun and the stars will be counted in the man-
ner of the Moon to get the desired time. Wood, iron, charcoal
(Aṅgāra), bone, will be counted as Śalya.
167. While digging the residential land under the stone or water one
should weed out all these. A wise man will uplift the Śalya, - so
says Aparājitā.
