multiply this by 1800 and divide the product by the asus of rising of the 6*
sign, i.e , by 2024. Thus we get
232x1800 =202' or 3"22' approx .
2024
Thus we see that in 14 gla!ऽ 25"10" of the 4" sign, the whole of the 5७ sign
and 3°22'of the sixth sign have risen above the horizon of Lucknow. Adding
the७e to the Sun's longitude, we get 53°22' as the tropical longitude of the
rising point of the ecliptic.
A rule for obtaining the time elapsed since sunrise with the
help of the tropical longitude of the rising point of the ecliptic
and the tropical longitude of the Sun :
20. One who desires to know the time (elapsed after sum
rise) obtains that time on adding together, in the reverse order
the times of rising at the local place of the signs (and parts
thereof, if any) traversed by the horizon-ecliptic point up to the
untraversed portion of the Sun's (tropical) sign.!
This rule is the converse of the preceding one .
A rule for calculating (the Rsine of) the Sun's graः
21. The result obtained on dividing the Rsine of the bhaga
of the Sun's (tropical) longitude as multiplied by the Rsine of the
Sun's greatest declination, by the Rsine of the c6latitude is
known as (the Rsine of ) the Sun's agra.*
That is,
where x is the Sun's (tropical) longitude, e the Sun's greatest declimation
(i.e., the obliguity of the ecliptic), and # the latitude of the local place
[For the rationale of this formula, see under stanzas 22-23 below.]]

The term agra, in Hindu astronomy, has been used in two senses :
The are of the celestial horizon 1ying between the
point where the heavenly body concerned rises.
