362 PAÑCASIDDHĀNTIKĀ XVIII.78 [शुक्रस्फुट:] 'नयनार्क [धृतीन्दू]' ने द्विगुणे (रू) पेन्द्रि [येश्रु] रै' र्भक्ते | शे(षं) यत्त(द्द) लितं भृगुतनयनिरांशदिवसाः स्युः || ७६ || 'विषयै' र्नवकविहीनः प्रागुदित'स्तिथि' [भि] 'रेक (य) म' हीनः | 'वसुकृत्या' 'ति(थ्यूनः)' 'कृताष्टिभिः' स (पञ्चकास्त्रिंशत्) || ७७ || (पञ्चा) [ष्ट] केन सद(शः) निरं[शगो] ऽतो विलोमगः पश्चात् | उ(दे)ति (नि)रंशका(ले) (प्रया)ति (चा)स्तं वि(लोम)गतिः || ७८ || || शुक्रः || Motion of Venus 76. Deduct 1,18,122 from the 'days'. Multiply by 2 and divide by 1151. Take the remainder and divide by 2. We have the 'days' from the conjunction of Venus. 77-78. In 5 'days' Venus lags by 9°, and rises in the east. In 15 days it lags 21°. In 64 days it lags 15°. In 164 days it gains by 35°. Then it sets in the east. Then in 40 days it gains 10°, and joins the Sun. Then, moving in accordance with the reversed order of the days for cycles given, it rises, after the days given from setting to conjunction (i.e., 40 days), in the west, and moves till it reaches the setting in retrograde (and getting into the inferior conjunction) section. Note 1. I have corrected mitīndu into dhṛtīndu for agreement with the Sun in superior conjunction which alone fits. TS's correction (also NP's) mahīndu does not bring agreement with the Sun either at superior conj. or inferior conj. There can be another possible correction matīndu (mati is 8). In the 64 days, flanking the retrograde, the days may be a little more or less, since a small error of observation can produce a difference of a large number of days. The lacunae is filled by me with sapañcakāstriṃśat, meaning 35°, to fit the number of degrees wanted to make up the total zero, and fitting the number of days given. TS's emendation, kṛtāṣṭabhiḥ will be far from fitting the total. 76a. A.B. ॰र्कमितिदुने; C.D. ॰र्कमहीन्दूने 78a. A.B.C. ष (B. स) ष्टाष्टकेन सदश (B. सदृश); b.
