अथाहं सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि तवाग्रे द्विजसत्तम। भावहोराघटीसंज्ञलग्नानीति पृथक्‌ पृथक्‌॥ १॥

Oh excellent of the Brahmins, I explain below again some special Lagnas, viz. Bhava Lagn, Hora Lagn and Ghati Lagn.

english translation

सूर्योदयं समारभ्य घटिकानां तु पंचकम्‌। प्रयाति जन्मपर्यन्तं भावलग्नं तदेव हि॥ २॥

Bhava Lagn. From sunrise to the time of birth every 5 Ghatis (or 120 minutes) constitute one Bhava Lagn.

english translation

इष्टं घट्यादिकं भक्त्वा पंचभिर्भादिजं फलम्‌। योज्यमौदयिके सूर्ये भावलग्नं स्फुटं च तत्‌॥ ३॥

Divide the time of birth (in Ghatis, Vighatis etc.) from sunrise by 5 and add the quotient etc. to Sūrya‟s longitude, as at sunrise. This is called Bhava Lagn.

english translation

तथा सार्धद्विघटिकामितादर्कोदयाद्‌ द्विज। प्रयाति लग्नं तन्नाम होरालग्नं प्रचक्षते॥ ४॥

Hora Lagn. Again from sunrise till the time of birth Hora Lagn repeats itself every 2½ Ghatis (i. e. 60 minutes).

english translation

इष्टघट्यादिकं द्विघ्नं पञ्चाप्तं भादिकं च यत्‌। योज्यमौदयिके भानौ होरालग्नं स्फुटं हि तत्‌॥ ५॥

Divide the time past up to birth from sunrise by 2½ and add the quotient etc. in Rāśis, degrees and so on to the longitude of Sūrya, as at the sunrise. This will yield Hora Lagn in Rāśi, degrees etc.
