Master the traditional Base-60 (sexagesimal) calculations and linear interpolation used to determine exact planetary positions from a Nepali Patro.
Neighboring values fetched from Swiss Ephemeris (SWEPH) database for the selected date bounds:
Subtract the standard reference/sunrise time of the Patro from your target Ishtakaal time to determine the active time delta (**Chalana**).
This time difference equals **945 Pala** in total. Because target is after sunrise, it yields a positive value (Dhana Chalana).
Linearly interpolate the planet's daily velocity (**Gati**) for your active time differential (**Chalana**). The day is measured in sexagesimal parts (60 Ghati or 3600 Pala).
Combine the base planetary position with your computed daily offset. Operation (Addition vs. Subtraction) changes dynamically based on the direction vector (**Margi** vs. **Vakri**) and time differential.
Vedic astronomy uses a base-60 (sexagesimal) system for both time and celestial coordinates.
