आद्यन्तकालयोर् मध्यः कालो ज्ञेयो +अतिदारुणः। प्रज्वलज् ज्वलनाकारः सर्वकर्मसु गर्हितः ॥
The time (pata) intervening between the moments of the beginning and end is to be looked upon as exceedingly terrible, having the likeness of a consuming fire, forbidden for all works.
english translation
एकायनगतम् यावद् अर्केन्द्वोर् मण्डलान्तरम् । सम्भवस् तावद् एवास्य सर्वकर्मविनाशकृत्॥
While any parts of the disks of the sun and moon have the same declination, so long is there a continuance of this aspect, causing the destruction of all works.

रवीन्द्वोस् तुल्यता क्रान्त्योर् विषुवत्सन्निधौ यदा । द्विर् भवेद् धि तदा पातः स्याद् अभावो विपर्ययात् ॥

english translation
शसाङ्कार्कयुतेर् लिप्ता भभोगेन विभाजिताः। लब्धम् सप्तदशान्तो +अन्यो व्यतीपातस् तृतीयकः॥
If the sum of the longitudes of the sun and moon, in minutes, on being divided by the portion (bhoga) of an asterism (bha), yields a quotient between sixteen and seventeen, there is another, a third, vyatipdta. (If the sum of longitude of sun and moon in kaläs is divided by 27, and if this quotient is in the region of 17, then we have a third aspect called vyatégata.)
