c15.t8.2

The duration of Jupiter’s stay in a particular zodiacal sign is called Jupiter’s year which lasts for 361 days, 2 ghaṭikās or daṇḍas and 5 palas. This year is thus shorter than the solar year by 4 days, 13 ghaṭikās or daṇḍas and 26 palas. That is why one Jupiter’s year becomes suppressed in 85 solar years.
