एकादशामरेज्यस्य तिथिसङ्ख्यार्कजस्य च । अस्ताम्शा भूमिपुत्रस्य दश सप्ताधिकास् ततः॥

english translation
पश्चाद् अस्तमयो +अष्टाभिर् उदयः प्राङ्महत्तया । प्राग् अस्तम् उदयः पश्चाद् अल्पत्वाद् दशभिर् भृगोः॥
Because of the greatness, the setting in the west and rising in the east for Venus is 8 degrees. But due to inferior size, the setting in the east and rising in the west of Venus is taken as 10 degrees.
english translation
एवम् बुधो द्वादशभिश् चतुर्दशभिर् अम्शकैः। वक्री शीघ्रगतिश् चार्कात् करोत्य् अस्त्मयोदयौ॥
Likewise for Mercury, the setting and rising occur at a distance of 12 and 14 degrees from the sun, accordingly as it is retrograding or rapidly advancing.
english translation
एभ्यो +अधिकैः कालभागैर् दृश्या न्यूनैर् अदर्शनाः। भवन्ति लोके खचरा भानुभाग्रस्तमूर्तयः॥
If the distance in degrees of visibility (kälängça) is greater than these mentioned above, the planets are visible to the people, but at lesser distances they are invisible as because they are overwhelmed by the sun’s brilliancy.
english translation
तत्कालाम्शान्तरकला भुक्त्यन्तरविभाजिताः। दिनादि तत्फलम् लब्धम् भुक्तियोगेन वक्रिणः॥
Taking the difference of their own distance in degrees of time and the required distance in degrees of time, divided by the daily motions of the planet, we have the measure of days. However, for retrograde motion, we have to consider the sum of daily motions.
