Rule (1) Table IX gives *equated anomalies* (as explained in sec. 251) for mean *tithis*, i.e., each anomaly given in Table IX-*a*, *b* and *g*, for the moon, contains the equation which has to be separated before applying the equation to the mean *tithi*, whereas the anomaly given in Tables XVI-B and XVI-C is a *mean anomaly* for the actual moment of the *tithi*. The principle of the method is to work until the equation obtained from the *equated anomaly* of Tables IX-*a*, *b* and *g*, is equal to the equation obtained from the *mean anomaly* in Tables XVI-B and XVI-C. Accordingly, Table XVI enables us to ascertain an ending moment *not per saltum*, but gradually and by successive approximations, using the *equated anomalies* of Tables IX *a*, *b* and *g*, as our base.
