ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENTS 277 दक्षिणतारा हस्ते सार्पस्यांशे तथोत्तरा तारा । पित्र्यस्य स्वक्षेत्रे षष्ठे चांशे समायॊगः ॥ ३६ ॥ चित्रार्धाष्टमभागे दक्षिणतः संस्थिते त्रिभिर्हस्तैः । विक्षेपकलान्तादङ्गुलानि मध्याच्छशाङ्कस्य ॥ ३७ ॥ Positions of Certain Junction-Stars 34. (The junction-star of) Kṛttikā is at the end of the sixth degree (from the initial point of that nakṣatra) and 3 1/2 cubits to the north of the ecliptic. (The junction-star of) Rohiṇī is at the end of the eighth degree (of that nakṣatra) and 5 1/2 (cubits) to the south. 35. The southern and northern (junction-) stars of Punarvasu are at the end of the eighth degree (of the nakṣatra) and 8 (cubits) south and north (respectively). The (junction-)star of Puṣya is at the end of the fourth degree (of that nakṣatra) and 3 1/2 cubits to the north. 36. The southern (junction-) star of Āśleṣā is at the end of the first degree (of that nakṣatra) and one cubit (to the south); so also is the northern (junction- star). The conjunction (of the Moon) (with the junction-star of) Maghā occurs in its own field at the end of the sixth degree (of that nakṣatra). 37. (The junction-star of) Citrā is at the end of 7 1/2 degrees (of that nakṣatra) and 3 cubits to the south. The digits are counted from the centre of the Moon where the minutes of the latitude end. [शशितारयोरङ्गुलमानम् योगकालश्च] विक्षेपात्सप्तदशापनीय तिथिसङ्गुणात् कृताग्न्यंशः । विद्यादङ्गुलमानं कालं दिनभोगविवरेण ॥ ३८ ॥ Digits between the Moon and a Star in Conjunction And Time of Conjunction 38. Having subtracted 17 from the latitude (of the star with respect to the Moon) multiply by 15 and take a thirty-fourth of that; this is to be known as the number of digits (between the Moon and the star). 34a.
