(In the case of the planets, Mars, etc.) the determina- tion of the direct and inverse Rsines (relating to the kendra, i.e., mandakendra and sighrakendra) as also the calculation of the bhuja and koti etc. is to be made as in the case of the Sun. The differences (in the case of Mars, etc.) will now be stated.
