"sūryamuktāḥ..." [The planets] beginning with Mars, when released by the Sun, [that is,] released and abandoned by the Sun, or having gone outside the Sun by advancing into the next zodiacal sign, rise, [that is,] become risen. When eclipsed by the Sun, [that is,] situated in the same zodiacal sign with the Sun, within the prescribed degrees of time—

if they are within the degrees of time cited [in the verse]: "[The degrees of setting] from the Moon onward for the celestial beings are the suns (12), mountains-earth (17), qualities-moon (13), earth-earth (11), and tithis (15)"—then they are set. When the Sun is situated in the second sign from a planet, the planets situated in the previous sign have radiant discs, [that is,] they become swift-moving. When the Sun is in the third sign from a planet, they are mean, [that is,] they have their normal motions; when the Sun is in the fourth sign from a planet, they are slow, [that is,] they have slow motions. When the Sun is situated in the fifth or sixth, they are retrograde, [that is,] they have retrograde motions; when the Sun is in the seventh or eighth, they become highly retrograde. When the Sun is in the ninth or tenth, the motion becomes crooked, [that is,] natural. Thus, when the Sun is in the twelfth or eleventh from a planet, swiftness, [that is,] a swift state, arises again. Again, the planets that have reached the Sun pass into invisibility in the world, [that is,] on earth. "rāhuketū..." Rāhu and Ketu are always retrograde, and the Moon and Sun are swift; therefore,
