Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
उदाहरणम् ॥ लग्नं ३।४।३।८ अत्रोर्ध्वांकमितिः ३ शरघ्नी १५ स्वत्रयोदशांशेन दिनादिना १।९।१४। हीना १३।५०।४६। जाता लग्नदशा दिनादिका ॥ एवं समस्तभावानान्दशा ज्ञेया॥
Example. The lagna (rising sign) is at 3;4;3;8. Here the upper figure is 3. Times five, it is 15. Take away its own 13th part, 1;9;14 in days and so on. This leaves 13;50;46. This is the lagna's dasha (planet period), in days and so on. Know the periods of all the houses in this way.
Simple meaning: Rough house periods, example: 3 times 5 is 15. Less its 13th part, it gives 13;50;46 days for the lagna.
एते दशाहा अंशादित्यागात्स्थूलाः अत्र शून्यमिते भावोर्ध्वांके द्वादशराशयः पञ्चगुणाः कर्तव्या इति शेषः ॥ अत्र सर्वत्र भावानान्दशादियोगः षष्ट्यधिकं शतत्रयं भवति ॥
Rough house periods: they leave out the degrees. A zero sign counts as 12. All twelve add up to 360 days.
अत्र वर्षे भावदशात्रैलोक्यप्रकाशे उक्ता॥
House periods, Trailokyaprakasha: 4 days 37 ghatikas times the house number. The periods of the 6th, 8th and 12th houses are not good.
अथ वर्षे कालहोरादशा॥उक्तं च मुक्तावल्याम्॥
Kalahora periods: each planet gets one seventh of the year, in the order of the hour lords.
