सर्वेषां ग्रहबिन्दुनां योगः सर्वाष्टकं भवेत् । तत्र बिन्दुसमायोगे शुभं कार्यं बदन्ति ते ॥
sarveṣāṃ grahabindūnāṃ yogaḥ sarvāṣṭakaṃ bhavet | tatra bindu-samāyoge śubhaṃ kāryaṃ vadanti te ||
The sum total of the bindus of all the planets constitutes the Sarvashtakavarga (total Ashtakavarga); where the bindus are abundant, auspicious results are declared.
एकीकृत्य ग्रहबिन्दुन् सर्वान् सर्वाष्टकं भवेत् । शतत्रयं सप्तत्रिंशद् बिन्दवः समुदाहृताः ॥
ekīkṛtya graha-bindūn sarvān sarvāṣṭakaṃ bhavet | śatatrayaṃ saptatriṃśad bindavaḥ samudāhṛtāḥ ||
Summing all the planetary bindus together yields the Sarvashtakavarga; the bindus therein are declared to number three hundred and thirty-seven.
अष्टबिन्दुसमायुक्तं राशिं परमशोभनम् । ऊनचतुर्थबिन्दुश्च दुर्बलं दुःखदायकम् ॥
aṣṭabindu-samāyuktaṃ rāśiṃ paramaśobhanam | ūnacaturtha-binduś ca durbalaṃ duḥkhadāyakam ||
A sign joined with eight bindus is supremely splendid, while one whose bindus fall short of four is weak and bestows sorrow; between these limits, strength rises with the count of bindus.
