​Kheṭa is a word made up of the noun, kha, meaning ‘sky,’ and the past
passive participle, ​iṭa, meaning ‘gone.’ The word in an astrological context
would be translated as ‘gone in the sky,’ which usually alludes to a planet
within the ​jyotis​ canon. In this verse, it would be better to translate ​kheṭa as
an astrological placement since the word is referring to the ​navāṃśa
position of the Ātmakāraka and the ​lagna​ in the nativity, which are not
planets in themselves.
