Rule (2). Tables XVI-B and XVI-C apply, as they stand, only to the first quarters (0 d. 0 gh. 0 p. to 6 d. 53 gh. 20 p.) when the equations are *negative*. For the 2nd quarter (6 d. 53 gh. 20 p. to 13 d. 46 gh. 40 p.) the equation is *negative*, and the argument should be obtained by deducting the given anomaly from 13 days 46 ghat. 40 palas. For the third quarter (13 d. 46 gh. 40 p. to 20 d. 40 gh. 0 p.) the equation is *positive* and the argument should be obtained by deducting 13 d. 46 ghat. 40 palas from the given anomaly. For the fourth quarter (20 d. 40 gh. 0 p. to 27 d. 33 gh. 17 p.) the equation is *positive* and the argument is obtained by deducting the given anomaly from 27 days 33 ghat. 17 palas.
