Multiply that figure by 2 and divide the degrees by 12. Add 1 to the remainder, which will indicate the Rāśi, in which the Ṣaṣṭiāṁśa falls. The Lord of that Rāśi is the Graha, ruling the said Ṣaṣṭiāṁśa.

In the Ṣad-Varga classification the Varga designations are Kimshuk, Vyanjan, Chamar, Chatr and Kundal, according to a Graha being in 2 to 6 combinations of good Vargas.

Next is the Sapta-Varga, in which these classifications continue in the same manner up to six combinations of good Vargas, the 7th additional Varga getting classified as Mukut.
