Verse 1 — Movable, Fixed and Dual Signs Decide Pace
चरे स्थाने चरं कार्यं स्थिरे स्थिरमुदीरितम् । द्विस्वभावे तु संदेहः पुनरावृत्तिरेव च ॥
care sthāne caraṃ kāryaṃ sthire sthir-am udīritam | dvi-svabhāve tu saṃdehaḥ punar-āvṛttir eva ca ||
In a movable sign the affair is quick, in a fixed sign it is stable and lasting; in a dual sign there is doubt and repetition of the matter.
