V. 9 V. PAULIŚA MOON'S CUSPS 147 Now for the readings: As the elevation due to the latitude of the place is considerable, it cannot be neglected and must be represented; therefore we have corrected dviguṇeche tithyaṃśa into dviguṇe'kṣe tithyaṃśa, by changing cha into kṣa. But TS have adopted the reading dviguṇecchātithyaṃśa and considering it a combination of dviguṇecchā and atithyaṃśa thinking that the subject matter is astrological, (which is obviously unlikely). We have corrected paridhāvakṣonāmāḥ into paridhāvakṣonnāmaḥ, for the instruction to apply the elevation due to the latitude must be given. But TS and NP take the reading as it is, and say that something on the rim of the Moon is named akṣa, which is purposeless. Their readings themselves in these two cases are from their own edition of Bhaṭṭotpala's commentary on the Bṛhatsaṁhitā, and to say that their (TS's) readings agree with those of the Bhaṭṭotpala may be improper, for probably they have themselves put the readings there. [चन्द्रस्य दैनन्दिनोदयास्तौ] याम्योदग्विक्षेपाद्विषुव (द्भा) घ्ना 'द्रवि'भिरवाप्तांशाः । उदये शशिनो वृद्धिः क्षयो विपर्यस्तमस्तमये ॥ ८ ॥ एवं व्यर्काच्चन्द्राद्यद्द्युना राशयः षडधिका वा । तदुदयकालेन दिवा निशि च शशाङ्कोदयो वाच्यः ॥ ९ ॥ Daily rising and setting of the Moon 8. Multiply the Moon's latitude in degrees by the equinoctial shadow and divide by twelve. Add the resulting degrees to the longitude of the Moon, or subtract from it, according as the Moon's latitude is south or north, if the times of daily moonrise is to be computed. If the times of daily moonset is to be found, reverse the addition and subtraction, i.e. subtract and add, respec- tively. 9. Subtract the longitude of the Sun from that of the Moon corrected thus. Find the time for this segment of the ecliptic to rise, after sunrise. By so much time after sunrise, the Moon will rise. If this segment is less than six rāśis, then the moonrise will fall in the day-time, if greater, the moon will rise at night. 8-10. Quoted by Utpala on BS 4.15. 9a-b. A. व्यर्काच्चाद्येनोना 8b.
