दशाफलाध्यायः
निजोच्चगामिनो यदा तदा तता यशोलतानवाम्बरादिभूषणैः सुखं वराङ्गनागमः ।उपेन्द्रतुल्यता मता गजेन्द्रवाजिराजिकारथोवृषाश्च वैरिणः कृशा वशा दशा भवेत् ॥ १४ ॥
When a planet is in its high sign, its period tends to bring fame that spreads like a creeper. There is comfort from new clothes and ornaments. Fine women may come. The person is held to be like Upendra Vishnu. There are herds of great elephants and horses, chariots and bulls. Enemies become weak and come under control.
Simple meaning: A planet in its high sign tends to give fame, comfort, fine things and weak enemies in its period.
दशा निजागारगतस्य यस्य
A planet in its own sign tends to give new clothes, a house, a wife, land, fame and weak enemies.
कलत्रपुत्रैरपि मित्रपुत्रै
A planet in a friend's sign tends to give comfort, gifts from a king and more honour.
मनोजवेगो रिपुवर्गभीतिः
A planet in an enemy's sign tends to give a restless mind, fear of enemies, weakness and loss of money.
