                                                 will  be  equal  to  8

             The figures in first part of column 3,  that is  in column 3 (a),
          show the  number of additional Nak~hatras, arising out of the  ~~
         in each case. Thus  for  the  first  paksha  the~ does  not  amount
          to complete Nak~hatra ;  for the second it gives rise to one complete
          Nak~hatra; for the fifth (omitting one half) to 2 complete Nak~ha­
         tras and so on. Or, generally speaking, we may say that the  number
          of complete  Nak~hatras arising  out  of  the  ~~ is  equal  to  the
          integral  part  of half the  number  of pakshas;  e.  g.  for  the  fifth
         pakshas, it is equal to 2,  the  integral part  of 2;  and  so  on.  There
         is,  however,  an  important  exception  to  this  rule.  If the  amshas
         given  in  column  3 ( b )  exceed  62  or  half  a  Nak~hatra,  these
