6. uccaceṣṭākarān vyekān digbhirhatvā tu yojayet .
tadardhamiṣṭasaṃjñaṃ syāt kaṣṭaṃ tatṣaṣṭitaścyutam.

6. ucca-ceṣṭā-karān vi-ekān digbhiḥ hatvā tu yojayet
tat-ardham iṣṭa-saṃjñam syāt kaṣṭam tat-ṣaṣṭitaḥ cyutam

6. One should multiply the factors indicating high activity (each reduced by one) by ten (the number of directions) and then add them. Half of that sum would be designated as the 'iṣṭa' (favorable) value. The 'kaṣṭa' (unfavorable) value is what remains when that 'iṣṭa' value is subtracted from sixty.
