380 “The north and the south with respect to the Equator and Ecliptic (ie. the north-pole and south-pole) are differ- ent at the points ♈ and ♎, being at a distance of ω from each other. Hence the Āyana Valanajyā at those points is equal to H sin 24° (ω taken to be equal to 24°). But at the solstices, the north and south will be the same (mean- ing thereby that the angle subtended by PK at the solstices is zero, or what is the same, the directions to the respective poles (of the Equator and the Ecliptic) at the solstitial points are the same so that the East will be the same for both the circles at those points. Thus there is no Valana at the solstices ie. P ⌒ K = 0 where ♋ = cancer. In between ♈ and ♋, the Valana is found in proportion to H sin (90 + λ) where λ is the longitude of the point and in inverse proportion to H cos δ, where δ is the decli- nation. Hence H sin θ = [H sin (90 + λ) / H cos δ] × H sin ω, where θ is the Āyana Valana. Similarly at the points of inter- section of the Equator and prime-vertical namely E and W, the Unmandala (the Equatorial horizon) decides the north-south direction with respect to the Equator, whereas the horizon decides the same with respect to the prime- vertical. These north-south directions with respect to those two great circles namely the Equator and the prime- vertical differ by the angle between the Unmandala and the horizon which is equal PN = ϕ, the latitude of the place. Hence at the East and West points the Ākṣa Valanajya or the H sine of Ākṣa-Valana is equal to H sin ϕ. But at the zenith, the north-south directions of the Equator and prime-vertical coincide so that there is no Ākṣa Valana at the zenith. Thus H sine of the Valana is proportional to H sin ϕ in between the points on the prime-vertical between the zenith and the East and West points. (Roughly speaking) H sin ξ = (H sin ϕ H sin z) / (H cos δ) where ξ = Ākṣa Valana, z = Sama-Vritta-
