The Samanya Sutra is derived from the Arudha and rising Lagna; the Adhipati Sutra arises from the lords of these two signs; the Amsaka Sutra is computed from the Navamsas of Arudha and rising Lagna; the Nakshatra Sutra from the Janma Nakshatra and the query rising star; and the Maha Sutra is determined from the Arudha and the 10th sign from it.
