Where it sits
The locative pattern without the ablative repeated. 3.28 is the pole star. When the ablative disappears, do not think the practice changed. Anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
Split: candre (चन्द्रे) + tārā (तारा) + vyūha (व्यूह) + jñānam (ज्ञानम्)

The phrases
On the moon, knowledge of the arrangement of the stars. saṃyamāt (संयमात्) is understood from 3.26. tārā-vyūha-jñānam (ताराव्यूहज्ञानम्) is read from the end: knowledge, of the arrangement, of the stars.
Sanskrit in this line
Anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति) of saṃyamāt (संयमात्). The locative alone now carries “this is the object.” vyūha (व्यूह) means an ordered arrangement, not a pile.
Say it back
Say the object and the knowledge. Supply “from saṃyama (संयम)” from the previous line.
