Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अथ दशाविचारः ॥ तत्र दशाशब्देनशुभाशुभफलपाककाल उच्यते ॥ अथ पूर्वोक्तानां फलादीनां विभागज्ञानन्दशाज्ञानेन विना दुर्ज्ञेयमिति दशानयनमवश्यं वक्तव्यम् ॥
Now the study of the dasha (planet period) begins. Here the word dasha means the time when good and bad results ripen. Knowing how the results told before are shared out in time is hard without the dashas. So the way to work out the dashas must be told.
Simple meaning: What a dasha is: the time when good and bad results ripen. Without it, the year's results cannot be timed.
यदाह सूर्य्यसूरीः ॥
Why dashas are needed: the year's results from the planets in the houses can only be timed by dividing the year into days.
यादवोपि ॥
What a dasha is: the time in which a planet gives the results of the houses. Yadava will teach how to find it.
अथ दशानयनप्रकार उक्तो वर्षतन्त्रे ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 4.1; see its meaning there.
