अर्कमानकलाः षष्ट्या गुणिता भुक्तिभाजिताः। तदर्धनाड्यः सङ्क्रान्तेर् अर्वाक् पुण्यम् तथा परे॥
Multiply the sun’s measure in kaläs (minutes) by 60 and divide by its daily motion (bhukti). Half of the result thus obtained when added to or subtracted from the time of entrance (sangkramaëa), gives two time periods whose interval is exceedingly propitious (virtuous).
