राकाचन्द्रस्य चेआबलमुदगयते भास्वतो वक्रगानां युद्धे चोदक्स्थितानां स्फुटबहुलरुचां स्वोच्चवीर्यं स्वतुङ्गे । दिग्वीर्यं खेऽर्कभौमौ सुहृदि शशिसितौ विद्गुरू लग्नगौ चेन्मन्देऽस्ते याम्यमार्गे बुधशनिशशिनोऽन्येऽयनाख्ये परस्मिन् ॥ २॥
The Moon gets Cheshtabala when she is full. The Sun gets it when he is in his northern course; the other planets, when in their retrograde motion. In planetary war, those that are posited in the north and who have got brilliant rays should be con sidered as victorious. Planets have their full Uchcha bala when in their highest exaltation. As regards directional strength, the Sun and Mars are strong in the 10 th Venus and the Moon in the 4 th; Mercury and Jupiter in the 1 st and Saturn in the 7 th. Mercury, Saturn and the Moon have their Ayana bala in their southerly course. The rest have the same in their northern.
