    [Ch. II, v.53]

    Siddhantic Proof: Spashta (True Longitudes) v.53

    Sanskrit (Devanagari):

    कृतर्तुचन्द्रवदन्द्ैः शूल्यत्येकैर्गुणाष्टिभिः । शरर्दरैश्वतुर्थेषु केन्द्रांशैभूसुतादयः ॥

    Translation (Burgess):

    Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn become retrograde at specific degrees of their anomaly.

    Modern Technical Commentary:

    Lists the Stationary Points in degrees of Sighra Anomaly: Mars (164°), Mercury (144°), Jupiter (130°), Venus (163°), and Saturn (115°). These are the critical 'turning points' in the planet's synodic cycle.
