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
@ernst It is a day birth
Here is an example 27/12/1979 13:15:38 age: 46
Sunset is at 18:57 chart is for 17:09 so daytime
Solar lagna is Gemini so Mars Lagna rules don't apply
Kala Samartha = Cancer 28:49 = 90 + 28 = 118
Mars - Lagna + Lagna = 278 - 70 + 70 = 278
160 degree difference
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
