[On the verse] 'ādau cakram…': clear. [On] 'aśvinyādyam…': The diagrammatic wheel consisting of nine lunar mansions from Aśvinī to Āśleṣā is to be placed in the northern direction. The diagrammatic wheel consisting of nine lunar mansions from Maghā to Jyeṣṭhā is to be placed in the eastern direction. Likewise, the diagrammatic wheel beginning with Mūla up to Revatī is to be placed in the south, in the southern direction. When this is done, the triad of parasols is formed. From the tip of the middle line of the west, based on the division of eastern and western directions made in the tortoise diagrammatic wheel, the rulers of the regions situated up to the north-east are to be understood as the Lords of Horses. Up to the south-east are the Lords of Men; likewise, from the south-east up to the west are to be understood as the Lords of Elephants. [On] 'anyeṣām…': In whichever parasol in the parasol diagrammatic wheel the lunar mansion of the other kings—the remaining kings—is situated, that parasol bestows auspicious or inauspicious fruit upon that king. [On] 'cāmaram…': very clear.
