**(a) How is this formula of Muhurta's loss - gain given here? This is a question worth considering.**
In the beginning of Surya Prajnapti, after the Uththaniika, there are five Gathaas that outline the primary subjects of the twenty Prabhrit's. Among them, the first Gatha, in the first Prabhrit, in the first Prabhrit Prabhrit, the first line of the Gatha outlining the primary subject is 'Kai Mandalaai Vacchai'. According to this, the subject is 'In one year, how many mandalas does the Sun traverse once and how many mandalas does it traverse twice'. The commentator, Shri Malayagiri, explains this line as follows: 'In the first Prabhrit - how many mandalas does the Sun traverse once and how many mandalas does it traverse twice in a year, this is to be investigated. What is said? When this question was asked by Gautam, the subsequent explanation of the subject is to be given in the first Prabhrit'. However, in the first Gatha of the two Gathaas outlining the subject matter of the eight Prabhrit Prabhrit's of the first Prabhrit, the first line is 'Vaddho'avaddhi Muhuttaanam'. According to this, in the first Prabhrit Prabhrit of the first Prabhrit, in the first formula, according to the commentator, there is an outline of the loss - gain of Muhurta in four types of months.
The commentator, Shri Malayagiri, explains this line as follows: 'In the first Prabhrit, in the first Prabhrit Prabhrit, the loss - gain of Muhurta, which is related to day - night, is to be explained'.
Before the creation of the Gathaas outlining the subject matter and before the commentator, this has been reversed.
The commentator himself ignored this reversal, so what to say about other common Shruthadharas? Where should this formula be placed according to the sequence, this will be written in detail at the appropriate place.
**(b) This formula of Muhurta's loss - gain also seems fragmented, because the question in the presented formula is about the loss - gain of Muhurta, but the answer only mentions the Muhurta of the Nakshatra months.**
