835a कालाङ्गानि वराङ्गाननहृदुरो हृत्क्रोडवासोभृतो बस्तिर्व्यञ्जनमूरुजानुयुगले जङ्घे ततोऽङ्घ्रिद्वयम्। मेषादिप्रथमा नवर्क्षचरणाश्चक्रस्थिता राशयो राशिक्षेत्रगृहर्क्षभानि भवनं चैकार्थसंप्रत्ययाः ॥ बृहज्जातक I. 4 उत्पल on this quotes similar verses from बादरायण, a predecessor mentioned by वराहमिहिर in बृहत्संहिता 39 1. The लघुजातक I 4 mentions the same limbs and rāśis but in a shorter compass, the वामनपुराण (chap 5 38-42) holds that Rudra assumed the form of Kāla and identifies the rāśis from Meṣa onwards with the head and other limbs of Kāla and the Mārkaṇḍeyapurāṇa (55 75-79) assigns rāśis to the several limbs of Nārāyaṇa. कालनरस्यावयवान्पुरुषाणां कल्पयेन्नभस्काले । सदसद्ग्रहसंयोगात्पुष्टाम्लोपद्रुवांश्चापि ॥ सारावली III. 6.
