SLoka 34: Find the Rasi where the lord of a Bhava is posited. The (Pada) of that Bhava will be so many Rasis distant from that lords ad the lord is from the Rasi signifying the Bhava. It is with reference to this (Pada) and the good and bad planets posited therein, that the prosperity and decay of the Bhava is to be predicted. Thus, should the 8 Padas be determined in the case of 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 9th 10th and 12th. The (Pada) for the 12th house from any Bhava is known as (UpaPada) for that Bhava, and that for the 7th as (DaraPada).
Here the author explains what is meant by (Arudha) or (Pada). The (Arudha) of a Bhava falls in the Rasi which is so much distant from the rasi occupied by the lord of the Bhava under consideration, as the lord himself is removed from the said Bhava.
Take an example.

Jupiter, the lord of the Lagna is in Mithuna, i.e., in the 7th Rasi from the Lagna. Hence the (LagnaPada) falls in the 7th Rasi from Mithuna, i.e.c Dhanus. Hence No. 1 is marked there. Take the 7th Bhava; its lord, Mercury, is in the 1st house from the 7th and therefore the (Saptama Pada) or the Pada of the 7th Bhava is placed in the 1st house from Mercury, i.e., again in Mithuna. The figure 7 is therefore placed there. Now take the 5th Bhava. Its lord Mars is placed in the 9th house from it, and the 9th house reckoned from Mars is Simha, and here you see No. 5 entered. Similarly work up for all Bhavas and you will see the 12 Padas scattered as shown in the Chakra. The author has taken only 8 Padas, belonging to 1st, 2nd, 4th 5th 7th 9th 10th and 12th and has left out the four other 3rd, 6th, 8th and 11th. But (Jaimini) has generalized this to all the 12 Bhavas and this seems to be correct.
