ताराग्रहाणाम् अन्योन्यम् स्याताम् युद्धसमागमौ। समागमः शशाङ्केन सूर्येणास्तमनम् सह॥
Of the star-planets there take place, with one another, encounter (yuddha) and conjunction (samagama) ; with the moon, conjunction (samagama) ; with the sun, heliacal setting (astamana). [The " star-platiets " (tardgraha) are, of course, the five lesser planets, exclusive of the sun and moon. Their conjunctions with one another and with the moon, with the asterisms (nakshatra), and with the sun, are the subjects of this and the two following chapters. Eor the general idea of " conjunction " various terms are indifferently employed in this chapter, as samagama, " coming together," samyoga, " conjunction,*' yoga, " junction " (in viii. 14, also, melaka, " meeting ") the word yuti, " union," which is constantly used in the same sense by the commentary, and which enters, into the title of the chaptef, grahayutyadhih&ra, does not occur anywhere in the text. The word which we translate " encounter," yuddha, means literally " war, conflict." Verses 18-20, and verse 22, below, give distinctive definitions of some of the different kinds of encounter and conjunction.]
