3$?S Ch2 <2 S-e&ia' La(na H VisheSi1a La(na
Oh excellent of the Brahmins:
I explain below again some special Lagna, viz. Bhava Lagna, Hora Lagna and
Ghati Lagna.

2-3. Bhava Lagna : From sunrise to the time of birth every 5 Ghatis (or 120
minutes) constitute one Bhava Lagna.
Divide the time of birth (in Ghatis, Vighatis etc.) from sunrise by 5 and add
the quotient etc. to Surya 's longitude, as at sunrise.
This is called Bhava Lagna.

4-5. Hora Lagna : Again from sunrise till the time of birth Hora Lagna
repeats itself every 2 Ghatis (i. e. 60 minutes).
Divide the time past up to birth from sunrise by 2 and add the quotient etc.
in Rashi, degrees and so on to the longitude of Surya, as at the sunrise.
This will yield Hora Lagna in Rashi, degrees etc.

6-8. Ghati Lagna (Ghatika Lagna)
Now listen to the method of working out Ghati Lagna.
This Lagna changes along with every Ghati (24 minutes) from the sunrise.
Note birth time in Ghatis and Vighatis.
Consider the number of Ghatis past, as number of Rashi, or Ghati Lagnas.
The Vighatis be divided by 2 to arrive at degrees and minutes of arc, past in
the said Ghati Lagna.
The product so arrived in Rashi, degrees and minutes be added to Surya 's
longitude, as at sunrise, to get the exact location of Ghati Lagna. So say
Maharishis, like Narada.

9. Use of Special Lagnas: Keeping the Graha as at birth, as it is, prepare
various Bhava Kundalis with respect to each special Lagna and analyze, as
done for the natal Lagna.
