338 PAÑCASIDDHĀNTIKĀ XVIII.35 Example: Find true Mars at 800 days from Epoch. Days from Epoch 800 — 0 — 0 Subtract days at first rising 256 — 40 — 0 543 — 20 — 0 No. of revolutions gone (543-20) / 700 = 0 Remainder 543 — 20 — 0 Correction for revolutions gone 0 — 0 — 0 Days after rising 543 — 20 — 0 Mars at rising = (18 × 0 + 85) / 133 revolutions = 230°, i.e. 20° in Scorpio. Starting from this point, i.e. 20° in Scorpio at rising, true Mars moves in 543-20 days, as per the scheme given in verses 24-35, to 29° 47′ in Cancer as per details given below: Type I: 146° Total days = 543-20 Balance 10° in Scorpio 14 days (10/30 × 42) 30° in Sagittarius 42 ” 30° in Capricorn 38 ” 30° in Aquarius 38 ” 30° in Pisces 41 ” 16° in Aries 21 + 52 (16/30 × 41) Total 194 + 52 Balance No. of days .......... 348.28 II: 18° 14° in Aries 44-20 (14/18 × 57) 4° in Taurus 13-33 (4/18 × 61) 57-53 Balance No. of days .......... 290-35 III: 7° (Retrograde) — 4 in Taurus 24-34 (4/7 × 43) — 3 in Aries 18-00 (3/7 × 42) 42-34 Balance No. of days 248-1
