Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
तत्र लग्नैष्यभागोत्थदशाद्या कीर्तिता तनोः॥तदुक्तभावदिनजा रिःफान्ते स्यात्पुनस्तनोः ॥४॥
There, the first dasha (planet period) is said to be the lagna's (rising sign's), from its degrees still to run. Then come the periods from the stated house days. At the end of the 12th house, the 1st house comes again.
Simple meaning: House order: the 1st house's period starts the year, from its degrees left. After the 12th house, the 1st house comes again.

House periods, example: the 2nd house less the lagna gives the lagna's period in solar days.
अथ भावांतरांशाः २७। १५। ५६ त्रिंशत्या ३०० गुणिताःषष्ट्योपर्युपरिलब्धेन युताः ८१।७९।४० कर्कोदयेन ३४३ भक्तालब्धानि २३।२३।५०।५० लग्नतसीरदशादिनानि ॥
House periods, other way, example: 27;15;56 times 300, divided by Cancer's rising time 343, gives about 23 days 50 ghatikas.
एवं सर्वत्र वर्षप्रवेशकालादिषु दिवसेषु लग्नेशस्य चंद्रस्य फलं शुभमशुभं वा ज्ञेयम् ॥ एवमन्यत्रापि ॥
House periods: on these days, judge by the lagna lord, here the Moon.
