कथयामि घटीलग्नं सृनु त्वं द्विजसत्तम। सूर्योदयत्‌ समारभ्य जन्मकालावधि क्रमात्‌॥ ६॥

Ghati Lagn (Ghatik Lagn). Now listen to the method of working out Ghati Lagn. This Lagn changes along with every Ghati (24 minutes) from the sunrise. Note birth time in Ghatis and Vighatis.

english translation

एकैकघटिकामानात्‌ लग्नं यद्याति भादिकम्‌। तदेव घटिकालग्नं कथितं नारदादिभिः॥ ७॥

Consider the number of Ghatis past, as number of Rāśis, or Ghati Lagnas. The Vighatis be divided by 2 to arrive at degrees and minutes of arc, past in the said Ghati Lagn.

english translation

राशयस्तु घटीतुल्याः पलार्धप्रमितांशकाः। योज्यमौदयिके भनौ घटीलग्नं स्फुटं हि तत्‌॥ ८॥

The product so arrived in Rāśis, degrees and minutes be added to Sūrya‟s longitude, as at sunrise, to get the exact location of Ghati Lagn. So say Maharishis, like Narada.

english translation

क्रमादेषां च लग्नानां भावकोष्ठं पृथक्‌ लिखेत्‌। ये ग्रहा यत्र भे तत्र ते स्थाप्या राशिलग्नवत्‌॥ ९॥

Use of Special Lagnas. Keeping the Grahas at birth, as it is, prepare various Bhava Kundalis with respect to each special Lagn and analyze, as done for the natal Lagn.

english translation

वर्णदाख्यदशां भानां कथयाम्यथ तेऽग्रतः। यस्य विज्ञानमात्रेण वदेदायुर्भवं फलम्‌॥ १०॥

Varnad Dasha. I now detail Varnad Dasha, just by knowing which one can deal with the longevity of a native. If the natal Lagn is an odd Rāśi, count directly from Mesh to natal Lagn.
