पञ्चसिद्धान्तिका (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - सूर्य, रोमक, पौलिश, वासिष्ठ एवं पितामह सिद्धान्त)

22 PAÑCASIDDHĀNTIKĀ I.22 21. The fourth counted from the Lord of any year is the Lord of the year next to that. The third from the Lord of any month is the Lord of the month next. The sixth from the Lord of any horā is that of the next horā. The Lords of the day come consecutively, in the order given. This the explanation: It has been said that the Lord of the year is that of the sāvana year of 360 days, coming one after another. The Lord of the first day of the year is the Lord of the year and the Lord of the 358th day is the same. The Lord of the next year is that of the 361st day, which is the fourth counting from 358. Thus the Lord of the next year is the fourth counting from that of the previous year. In the same way, the Lord of the next (sāvana) month is that of the 31st day, counted from the first day of the previous month. The Lord of the 29th day is the same as that of the first. The 31st day is the 3rd counting from the 29th. Therefore, the Lord of the 31st day, i.e. the Lord of the next month, is the third from that of the previous month. The Lords of the horās come in the order, Manda, Guru, Bhauma, Ravi, Śukra, Budha and Soma, which is the descending order of the distances of their orbits. The planet next in this series, who is the Lord of the next horā, is the 6th in the series given by our author, and hence the statement that the sixth from the previous is the Lord of the next horā. That the Lords of the day come consecutively is obvious, for the series Ravi, Soma, Bhauma, etc. is given in the very order of the Lords of the day. One thing must be said here. The author has taken the Lords in the arbitrary order Ravi, Soma etc. as it is well known by means of the week-days we are using in our day-to-day affairs. But the order of the Lords of the horā, viz. Manda, Guru, etc. based on their distances is fundamental and given by the Śāstras, which give the Lord of the week-day itself as being the same as the Lord of the first horā after sunrise on that day, taking the Lord of the horā as known. Taking this order we can make the following statements: The Lord of the next day is the 4th as counted from that of the cur- rent day, the Lord of the next month is the 7th counted from that of the current month (or, which is the same, the one previous to that of the current month) and the Lord of the next year is the third counted from that of the current year. वर्षे यद्यस्य फलं मासे च मुनिप्रणीतमालोक्य । [तत्तद्वृत्तै]र्वक्ष्ये होरातंत्रोत्तरविधाने ॥ २२ ॥ 22. Consulting the works of Sages, I shall tell in my future work following the Horā-Tantra, the predictions, viz. which results will flow during the reign of which Lord of the year or Lord of the month. There is a gap in this verse in every manuscript, tattadvṛttaiḥ being missing. So we have adopted the reading of Bhaṭṭotpala in his Bṛ. Sam. commentary which is full. 21.
