16. The collection of the aksaras of names is of this sort, and is accomplished by the rules which have been given; but some wish that the afore-mentioned rule should be applicable in all the cardines.
17. They multiply separately each cardine-sign by the number of the navamsa in the cardine-point and divide by nine; they know that the aksara is that of the lord of that (indicated) sign in the series of navamsas.
18. Thus one ought to find the names of objects with regard to things which are thought of or desired or lost, with regard to those who are dead or injured, to sexual intercourse with women, or to food, and with regard to the classes of such things as dreams, stars, thoughts, and men.
In the Yavanajataka: the rules relating to names.
