7. A nychthemeron is said to consist of 30 muhurtas; experts on time say that it begins with sunrise. They say that a yuga of the Sun consists of 61,230 (tithis).
8. The risings of the Moon (in a yuga) are 58,231; the risings of the Sun (i.e., civil days) arc equal to the risings of the constellations minus the number of years in a yuga.
9. (The number of solar months) is 1,980. If one joins this (number of solar months) with the number of intercalary months (adhimmasa) in a yuga, the number of conjunctions of the Sun and Moon (i.e., synodic months) is 2,041.
10. There is something distinguished from the time of the civil, solar, and lunar (sidereal) months of the Sun and the Moon; these are the 61 intercalary months (adhimasas) of the Moon, which are to be known by their qualities, such as their times.
11. A civil month equals 30 days, a solar month equals (a civil month) plus 13 muhurtas and 4 kalas and 56 thirds and 2 fourths.
12. A (synodic) month of the Moon, which ends with a conjunction,
consists of 29 days and 32 ksanas minus 4 kalas and 107 sixtieths of a kala.
13. A sidereal month consists of 27 days plus 8 ½ ksanas and 3 kalas and 137 sixtieths of a kala; it is separated by half-conjunctions (?).
14. When 66 years of the Sakas have elapsed, that is the truth (i.e., foundation) of the calculation of time. At dawn on Sunday begin that year and the yuga of the Sun.
15. Take the number of years that have passed of the Kosanas, add 149, and subtract from this (sum) the time of the Sakas (i.e., the year in the Saka era); (the remainder) is the number of years in the yuga which have elapsed.
16. The elapsed years in the yuga are to be multiplied by 12 and increased by the (lapsed) months and intercalary months of the present year; this sum is to be multiplied by 30 and joined with the (lapsed) tithis (of the current month) and with the epacts (in tithis) of the individual (lapsed) years of the yuga.
17. From this (one gets) the day-number with a concealed result (ahargana channaphala), which (consist of) the avamas; these (avamas) are the difference between (the lapsed tithis) and the nychthemera. If one multiplies the “days” by 30, the result is the number of tithi-muhurtas.
18. One should find that the number of (lapsed) tithis diminished by the number of lapsed avamas equals the number of (civil) days which have passed in the yuga. There is a seven-fold measure of the planetary week-days; in seeking the answer to this, one desires (the use of) inference (anum%~a).
19. The number of years which have passed of the yuga is to be multiplied by 11; 11 and divided by 30; (the result is the number of lapsed) intercalary months … in (of?) the civil (day? month?) and the Sun.
20. One should multiply the (number of) tithis (in a yuga) by the (number of) lapsed intercalary months and divide (the product) by 61; for there are 2,041 (synodic) months (in a yuga).
21. Know that the signs traversed by the Sun (are equal to) the months (which have passed) in the current year. These are multiplied by 30 to give degrees; then the degree occupied by the Sun in its mean motion is taken by the astrologers.
22. The (number of) dvadasamsas traversed by the Sun are (equal to) the (number of) signs (travened by) the Moon; to this bhukti of the Sun is added the tithis which have passed of the current month multiplied by 12. For one who is examining (the problem), this is the desired elongation between them.
23. The Sun goes through each sign at a minimum daily motion of 57 minutes, and a maximum of 62. In the two halves of the zodiac, the Sun goes through a sign in more or less than a month in direct and reverse order respectively.
24. The Moon goes 700+ minutes (in its minimum daily motion, and … in its maximum); (the daily difference) is 0;12,20º +.
25. The Moon, passing through the signs in the two halves of the zodiac, travels at the first (minimum) and the last (maximum) rate of motion in direct and reverse order; thus it traverses all the accurate degrees, minutes, and seconds (between two successive conjunctions) with its apogee (ucca).
26, The measure of the rising-times of the first and last signs the ancients demonstrate to be two muhuratas; the measure in the (rest of the) signs in the two halves of the zodiac, taken (respectively) in direct and reverse order, is that (two muhurtas) with a fifth added (successively to each).
27. In a gold and metallic (lohaka) pot (ghati) is a tube two fingers long; water enters a hole in front of this (tube) to measure off the tithis and nadikas.
28. A kudava is 3,1/8 palas, and 61 kudavas equal 1 nadika. The nadikas are also each divided into 60 liptas (“minutes”); there are 60 nadikas in a nychthemeron.
29. One kala equals 790 (?) nimesas, one nadika 30 kalas, and one muhurta 2 nadikas in the accomplishment of the rules relating to measures and standards.
30. One should find that the northern course of the Sun begins at the beginning of Capricorn, and the southern course at the beginning of the fourth sign (Cancer); the first equator(-crossing) in the year is at the beginning of Aries, the second at the beginning of Libra.
