THU SINFUL DISPOSITION 31 It should be known that the sign +(plus) in the above diagram stands for the affirmative tiat, and – (munus) for its antithesis.
The rule for finding out the traits of character in any giren position (that is, the nasta) is to posit the number of the position the combination of whicha is to be ascertained and to divide it by the number 2 for the trait of the first column which will be determined by the remainder, which may be one or nil If the remainder be one, the attribute in question is of the affirmative type, otherwise its opposite. For the next column add one to the quotient if there be a remainder, but nothing if there be no remainder. The figure arrived at in this way is to be divided by 2 again, and the trait for the 2nd column to be determined as before In this way the process is to be continued till the list is complete. Suppose we wish to ascertain the nature of the combination in the 15th position (in the table of 32 types). The process will be as follows:
I remainder)=Devoted,
1=4 (no remainder)=Little lesrang,
2 (no romainder)=Without external pressure, = 1(no remainder)=Repeated Alips,
laa
1 remainder =Straightforward
