D60 — ṣaṣṭyaṃśa
The ṣaṣṭyaṃśa (D60) divides every sign into 60 equal parts of 0°30′ and gives each part a sign of its own, so a graha's D60 position is a sign in a second chart. Parāśara names it among the sixteen vargas, gives the rule for assigning its signs, and in the viveka chapter says it is consulted for everything. SIA computes it for every kundli, with whole-sign houses from the D60 lagna, and reads it alongside the rāśi chart for that matter.

Parāśara's rule and office
राशीन् विहाय खेटस्य द्विघ्नमंशाद्यमर्कहृत्। शेषं सैकं च तद्राशिनाथ षष्ठ्यंशपाः स्मृताः।।३९।।
RenderingFor the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, set the sign aside and double the degrees; divide by twelve; add one to the remainder; the sign so many from the graha's own is the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, whose lord is its lord.
अक्षवेदांशभागे च षष्ठ्यंशेऽखिलमीक्षयेत्। यत्र कुत्रापि सम्प्राप्तः क्रूरषष्ठ्यंशकाधिपः।।६।।
RenderingFrom the akṣavedāṃśa and the ṣaṣṭyaṃśa, everything is to be examined.
