CALCUTING GULIKA

By dividing Dinamanna i.e. the diurnal period by 8, we get eight parts of the time between
sunrise and sunset. The first part of the time is ruled by the lord of the day like Sun for Sunday,
Moon for Monday. The part of time which falls after the time ruled by Saturn belongs to Gulika.
Similarly for fixing Gulika in night birth, we take Ratrimanna i.e. the nocturnal period and divide
in equal eight parts. Here the eighth part too belong to Saturn and is called Gulika. However, the
usage method of finding out the Gulika is based on a day and night of 30 ghatis = 12 hours each.
Rising time for Gulika during the day for seven days for Sunday to Saturday is at 26, 22, 18, 14,
10, 6 and 2 ghatis from the time of sunrise. For night, the order from Sunday onwards is 10, 6, 2,
22, 18, and 14 ghatis from sunset.
Rishi Parasara in the following sloka has described the commencement of Gulika as follows:

Here the cusp of the sign rising at the beginning of the Gulika segment is considered as Gulika.
