Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
एवं मासप्रवेशकालयोरन्तरसप्तमांशमिता मासप्रवेशहोरेशादिदशा ज्ञेया ॥ तथैव दिनप्रवेशे होरेशादितो दिनप्रवेशकालयोरन्तरसप्तमांशमिता घटिकादिदशा दिनप्रवेशे ज्ञेया ॥ अत्रापि वर्तमानहोरेशस्य गतगम्यम्पूर्ववत् साध्यमिति ॥
In the same way, at the month entry, each period is a seventh of the span between two month entries. They start from the kalahora (planet ruling the hour) lord at the month entry. Likewise at the day entry. Each period is a seventh of the span between two day entries, in ghatikas (24-minute units). They start from the kalahora lord at the day entry. Here too, find the passed and coming parts of the current kalahora lord as before.
Simple meaning: Kalahora periods in the month and day: each lord gets a seventh of the month or day, starting from the hour lord then.
अथ देवकीर्तिमतेन वर्षप्रवेशादौ हद्दादशा ताजिकमुक्तावल्याम् ॥
Hadda periods: in the year, each hadda's degrees times 12 give days. In the month the degrees are days; in the day, doubled degrees are ghatikas.
लग्नेंकग्रहहद्दांशभुक्तभोग्यांशसंगुणा॥
Hadda periods: the lagna's hadda lord's period is split into passed and coming parts by its degrees.
मे वृ मि क सिं क तु वृ ध म कुं मी
Table of hadda days in the year: for each sign, its five hadda lords and their days.
