चतुष्पञ्चाधिकं स्थानं समुदाये विशेषतः । तत्र पुण्य्यं प्रवक्ष्यामि बिन्दुसङ्ख्याविधानतः ॥
catuṣ-pañcādhikaṃ sthānaṃ samudāye viśeṣataḥ | tatra puṇyaṃ pravakṣyāmi bindu-saṅkhyā-vidhānataḥ ||
In the Samudaya (reduced) Ashtakavarga, a house where the bindu count is four, five or more is declared especially auspicious by the reckoning of the bindus.
त्रिकोणाख्यानि चत्वारि राशित्रयनिबद्धकम् । त्रयाणामल्पतमं बिन्दुं शोधयेतत्रिकोणवित ॥
trikoṇākhyāni catvāri rāśitraya-nibaddhakam | trayāṇām alpatamaṃ binduṃ śodhayet trikoṇavit ||
There are four groups called trikonas, each bound to a trio of signs; the expert in trine reduction should deduct from each of the three the least number of bindus among them.
राशिद्वयमेकाधिपं युग्मं परिगण्य तु । उभयोरल्पतः शोध्यं शेषं द्विभिरुद्धरेत ॥
rāśi-dvaya-mekādhipaṃ yugmaṃ parigaṇya tu | ubhayor alpataḥ śodhyaṃ śeṣaṃ dvibhir uddaret ||
Having reckoned a pair of signs ruled by a single lord, one should deduct the smaller count from both, and then remove half of what remains from each of the two.
