Calculate the Deshantara correction (Longitudinal adjustment).
[Ch. I, v.60-61]
Siddhantic Proof: Madhyama (Mean Motions) v.60
Sanskrit (Devanagari):
तेन देशान्तराभ्यस्ता ग्रहभुक्तिर्विभाजिता ॥
Translation (Burgess):
Multiply the planet's daily motion by the distance in yojanas between the Prime Meridian and the observer's location.
Modern Technical Commentary:
Defines the Deshantara correction (Longitudinal Correction). It adjusts the planetary position calculated for the Prime Meridian to the local observer's longitude based on Earth's circumference.

Normalizes mean astronomical positions to the observer's
local longitude. The rule of 'Deshantara' translates the distance
from the Prime Meridian into a time correction for Ahargana.
