Hi Ernst,
The saham formula given for samartha in the Varshaphala manual doesn't seem to give the same results as Kala. In the manual you said its Mars - Lagna + Lagna with some special formula if the Mars is the Lagna Lord (assuming in the Varshaphala chart). This doesn't seem to work for me.
TIA,
Radha
Did you determine if it was day or night birth as this can change the calculation?
I will get to this soon.
THe saham is correct in kala. THe issue is that in the manual hwen it says mars - lagna plus lagna its supposed to be Mars -lagna lord +lagna. Then for this case you do need to add the 30 degrees.
Thanks Ernst its working now. But Kala is still giving a different answer to what is expected when Mars is the Lagna Lord

Lagna is Aries so should follow "If Mars happens to be the Lagna lord, always deduct Mars from
Jupiter whether day or night."
So expect the formula to be Jupiter - Mars + Lagna
Jupiter = 53
Mars = 357
Lagna = 19
So should be 75 but Kala says Aries 19 so a 55 deg difference
