Machine summary:
Now, divide the number of the complete revolutions kept in memory at the time of finding the mean place of the Sun, by 43, then the quotient will represent the seconds and further sub-divisions; deduct these from the above-mentioned mean place of the Sun, then the remainder will be the ·more accurate mean place of the Sun. This is the value of the mean place which we use for the Sun and for other planets.
EXAMPLE:- We multiplied Ahargana by 800 getting the product 17291200, deducted 290 from it getting the remainder 17290910, divided it by 292207 getting the quotient 59 which represented the complete revolutions and we kept it in memory; we multiplied the remainder 50697 by 12 and divided the product by the same divisor getting the quotient 2 signs, 2 degrees, 27 minutes, 31 seconds, 56 further sub-divisions which is the mean place of the * Mr. Sayyid Samad Husain Rizvi, Executive Engineer, Pakistan, Scholar of Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Arabic, Persian, English, Science, Arithmetic and Astr,onomy •.
:. Multiply the past tithis (upto the midnight which follows the day in question) of the month by 12, then the product will represent degrees which should be kept in memory; now turn to the first "fixed number" obtained during the calculation of the Ahargana, and to the one-eighth part of it add 1/18; deduct the sum from the second "fixed number," then the remainder will be the "corrected remainder"; divide it by 17300, then the quotient will represent degrees; multiply the remainder by 60 and divide it by the same divisor, then the quotient will represent minutes and further sub-divisions; add this complete quotient to the value already kept in memory and add the sum to the mean place of the Sun, then this sum will be the mean place of the Moon.
