atha spaṣṭabalam vakṣye sthānakālādisaṃbhavam
nīconām khacaram bhārdhādhika cakrāt viśodhayet
nīconām khacaram bhārdhādhika cakrāt viśodhayet
1.
Now, I shall explain the specific strength (spaṣṭabala) arising from position (sthāna), time (kāla), and so forth. One should subtract the planet's (khacara) longitude from its debilitation point (nīconām). If the resulting difference is greater than half the zodiac (bhārdhādhika), one should then subtract it from the full zodiacal circle (cakra).
