Source: INSA Digital Repository: Determination of Ascensional Difference in the LagnaprakaranaKrāntimaurvikā (क्रान्तिमौर्विका) refers to the “Rsine of the declination”, according to verse 23 of the Lagnaprakaraṇa (lit. “treatise for the computation of the ascendant), an astronomical work in eight chapters dealing with the determination of the ascendant (udayalagna or orient ecliptic point).—Accordingly, “The Rsine of the declination (krāntimaurvikā) multiplied by one-lambath part of the product of the radius and [the Rsine of] the latitude and divided by the day-radius would be the Rsine of the ascensional difference. Indeed, its arc would be the ascensional difference in arc-minutes”.
