Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
एते दशाहा अंशादित्यागात्स्थूलाः अत्र शून्यमिते भावोर्ध्वांके द्वादशराशयः पञ्चगुणाः कर्तव्या इति शेषः ॥ अत्र सर्वत्र भावानान्दशादियोगः षष्ट्यधिकं शतत्रयं भवति ॥
These period days are rough, because the degrees and the rest are left out. Here, when a house's upper figure is zero, use twelve signs times five. This is the part left unsaid. Here the periods of all the houses always add up to three hundred and sixty.
Simple meaning: 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.
वारप्रवृत्तेर्गतनाडिकास्तु द्विघ्नाशरा५ प्तागतकालहोरा ॥
Kalahora at the year start: ghatikas since the weekday began, doubled and divided by five, give the hours passed.
