खवेदांशं चाक्षवेदं च शोधयेत् क्रमशो बुधः । दशमेकादशे भागे फलं तेषां विधीयते ॥
khavedāṁśaṁ cākṣavedaṁ ca śodhayet kramaśo budhaḥ | daśamekādaśe bhāge phalaṁ teṣāṁ vidhīyate ||
The learned compute Khavedamsha (D40) and Akshavedamsha (D45) successively; their results are determined in the tenth and eleventh divisions.
विष्णुश्चन्द्रो मरीचिश्च त्वष्टा धाता शिवो रविः । यमो यक्षश्च गन्धर्वः कालो वरुण एव च ॥ ३०॥
viṣṇuś candro marīciś ca tvaṣṭā dhātā śivo raviḥ | yamo yakṣaś ca gandharvaḥ kālo varuṇa eva ca || 30||
Vishnu, Chandra, Marichi, Tvashta, Dhata, Shiva, Ravi (the Sun), Yama, Yaksha, Gandharva, Kala and Varuna are, in order, the deities presiding over the successive Khavedamsha (D40) divisions.
तथाक्षवेदभागानामधिपाश्चरभे क्रियात् । स्थिरे सिंहाद् द्विभेचापात् विधीशविष्णवश्चरे ॥ ३१॥
tathākṣavedabhāgānām adhipāś carabhe kriyāt | sthire siṁhād dvibhe cāpād vidhīśaviṣṇavaś care || 31||
Likewise, the lords of the Akshavedamsha (D45) divisions: in a movable sign they are counted from Krya (Agni), in a fixed sign from Simha, and in a dual sign from Chapa — Vidhi (Brahma) and Vishnu being the presiding deities in the dual signs.
विद्याया वेदबाह्वंशे भांशे चैव बलाऽबलम् । त्रिंशांशके रिष्टफलं खवेदांशे शुभाऽशुभम् ॥ ५॥
vidyāyā veda-bāhv-aṁśe bhāṁśe caiva balābalam | triṁśāṁśake riṣṭaphalaṁ khavedāṁśe śubhāśubham || 5||
Learning is examined through the Veda-related division (vedabahu-amsha), strength and weakness through the Amsha, misfortune through the Trimshamsha (D30), and auspicious and inauspicious results through the Khavedamsha (D40).
अक्षवेदांशके चैव षष्ट्यंशेऽखिलमीक्षयेत् । यत्र कुत्रापि सम्प्राप्तः क्रूरषष्ट्यंशकाधिपः ॥ ६॥
akṣavedāṁśake caiva ṣaṣṭyaṁśekhilamīkṣayet | yatra kutrāpi samprāptaḥ krūraṣaṣṭyaṁśakādhipaḥ || 6||
One should also examine everything through the Akshavedamsha (D45) and the Shashtiamsha (D60), wherever the cruel lord of the Shashtiamsha arrives in any place.
