— per finger-breadth ; — five lunar days ; — the division into day and night ; — in inhalation ; — the southern course (of the sun) ; — being in the womb ; — the will to arise ; — the desire about to arise ; — being about to arise ; — the commencement of arising ; — the state of arising (birth) ; — the six modifications beginning with birth ; — in the signs beginning with Capricorn

Therein there are five lunar days per finger-breadth, and there too the division into day and night holds. Thus in inhalation there is the southern course of the sun; and the six modifications beginning with birth — being in the womb, the will to arise, the imminent desire, the state of being about to arise, the commencement of arising, and the state of actual arising — occur in order in the signs beginning with Capricorn.
