454 H sin β = (H sin λ H sin i) / R where β is the latitude required, i the maximum latitude and λ the arc of the planetary orbit intercepted between the nearer node and the planet. Since β and i are small H sin β and H sin i could be taken to be β and i. Hence we have β = (i × H sin λ) / R . Since this value is had at the distance of the Śīghrakarṇa, its value at a distance of R should be given by β = (i H sin λ) / R × R / K = (i H sin λ) / K as formulated. Verse 3. √(R² - H sin² v) is called Yaṣṭi where v is Āyanavalana. The latitude β of the planet multiplied by Yaṣṭi and divided by R or multiplied by H cos δ where δ is the declination of the point whose longitude is 90 + λ, λ being that of the planet and divided by R gives the value of the rectified latitude which could be added to the declination of the foot of the latitude to give what we say the modern declination of the planet.
