11 24 b. The Meridian ecliptic point, with its Right ascensional difference applied, is its time, (when corrected). 25. This plus three signs is the Kahlagna. Using the declination moon etc. of this Kalalagna time, the Meridian ecliptic point is to be found repeatedly, till there is no difference (between the previous result and the next). 26-27. To the Orient ecliptic point got (in verse 24a), cara and also Right ascensional difference are to be applied to get its corresponding trme. The Occident ecliptic point got, plus six signs, is its correspond- ing Orient ecliptic point. From its corresponding time (got by applying its cara and Right ascensional difference), the moon, Zdn, the ecliptic point etc. are to be computed, and this Orient ecliptic point time is to be made correct by successive approximation. The difference between this time got and the time of the sun (with the cara and the Right ascensional difference applied to it also) is the time of the moon etc. (in their own rising, transiting and setting) day or night.
