The Essence of Tajika Astrology

|| 42 || Starting from Libra, the six signs are reversed. These are multiplied by the local latitude literally "equinoctial shadow" placed in three positions. || By ten (10), eight (8), and three and one-third (3 1/3) respectively, the segments known as the "ascensional difference" Chara-khandas The time difference between the rising of a zodiac sign at the equator versus a specific latitude are produced in units of breaths palas. || 43 || From the Sun increased by the degrees of precession, take the number of the arm-signs the distance from the nearest equinoctial point; the sum of the completed ascensional segments, plus the product of the current segment and the remaining degrees, || divided by thirty (30), results in the ascensional difference. This value in breaths and seconds is subtracted or added to the Sun's day-length. || 44 ||

Now, regarding the calculation of the ascendant Lagnanayana: determining the rising sign on the eastern horizon, he speaks of the measurements of the local ascendant useful for that purpose. The six verses beginning with "The risings at Lanka..." are easy to understand.

Example: The measurements for Aries and the other signs should be known from the instrument. For the sake of the ascensional segments, the equinoctial shadow Aksha-bhrama of Shivapuri likely the city of Sipri/Shivpuri is 5;30. Placed in three positions: 5;30, 5;30, 5;30.
These are multiplied in order by ten (10), eight (8), and three and one-third (3;20).
The results are 55, 44, and 18; these are the ascensional segments. For the sake of the ascensional result, the degrees of precession Ayanamsha: the shift of the vernal equinox are used.
The established Sun is 1s 9° 26' 46". Increased by the degrees of precession 17° 51' 5", it becomes 1s 27° 12' 51". In the calculation of the "arm" for this, the number of signs is 1. The ascensional segment is 55. By the remaining degrees 27° 17' 51", the segment to be passed 44 is multiplied.
The result is 1201; discarding the remainder and dividing by thirty, the quotient is 40. This is added to the completed ascensional segment 55, totaling 95. Because the Sun with precession is in the northern hemisphere, these are designated as negative. || 42 ||

Increased or decreased by the minutes of the ascensional difference, fifteen (15) nadis a unit of time equal to 24 minutes respectively || become the segments of day and night. When the Sun is in the north, it is thus; when in the south, the calculation is reversed. || 45 ||
