TRANSLATION OF
231 It is said by those well up in scriptures that the air
styled A rises in the inonths of Kattiya, Māyasiro
and the (first) twelve days of the the month of Pusa. 232 The air styled I is seen, by the omniscient, rising in
the remaining) eighteen days of Pussa as well as in the months of Māha and the (first) twenty-four days
of Phagguna. 233 The air called U rises in the (remaining) six days
of Phagguna, the whole of Citta and Vaisāla as well
as in the (first) six days of Jittha. 234 The rising of the air named E takes place in the
(remaining ) twenty-four days of Jittha, the whole of
Asādha and the (first) eighteen days of Sāvana. 235 The rising of the air designated O is known to be
taking place in the (last) twelve days of the bright half of Sāvana and the whole of Bhaddavaya and
Assajuyo. 236 The air regarding a zodiacal sign is to be known
undoubtedly in this way beginning with Libra resp
ectively in accordance with the transition of the sun. 237 Know that there are constellations, zodiacal signs, groups
and the dates. If all of these five (?) are pierced
by wicked planets, he does not live on this earth. 238_239 In the Avakahadācakka, the vowels are to be carefully
put in the corners and twenty-eight constellations in four directions etc. The respective order of the letters to be placed there is this:-A, Va, Ka, lla, Da, Ma, ?', Pa, Ra, Ta, Na, Ya, Bha, Ja, Khu, Ga, Sa, Da, Ca and La. Then all the zodiacal signs beginning with Aries and all the days of the fortnight beginning with
the Nandā are to be placed. 240 Thus the Avakahadācakka is described with a view
consistent with scriptures. Listen to the description
of the Ascendant at the time of putting a question. 241 At the time when a messenger puts a question, if the
Acendant is aspected or associated by the malefics, he, who is attacked with a disease, dies. In the case
of a work, it is frustrated, if it is so. 242 If the moon is in the eighth house aspected by or
in conjunction with malefics, predict that he, who is overtaken with a disease, dies.
