An example in illustration of the rule) in the latter half
(of the stanza). 141. The shadow of a pillar, 12 hastas (in height), is 24 hastas in measure. At that time, O arithmetician, of what measure will the human shadow be ?
The rule for arriviug, at the period (of the day elapsed or to elapse), in places having the equinoctiul shadow, when the measure of the shadow at any time is known :
151. To the measure of the known shadow (of the style) the measure of the style is added ; (this sum is) diminished by the measure of the equinoctial shadow, and (the resulting difference is doubled. The measure of the style divided by the quantity (80 arrived at) gives rise to the value of the portion of the day (elapeed) in the forenoon, or (to elapse) in the afternoon, (as the case may be).
An example in illustration thereof.
164-17. In the case of a style of 12 angulas, the (equinoctial) noon-shadow is 2 angulas, and the known shadow (at the time of observation) is 8 angulas. What portion of the day is gone, or what portion (yet) remains ? If the portion of the day (elapoed or to elapse) happens to be , what are the ghatis (ourresponding to it), the duration of the day being 80 ghatis !
