Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
दिनप्रवेशे दिनप्रवेशलग्नवर्तमानहद्देशस्यादौ निसर्गवशाद्दशा तत्क्रमेणान्येषान्दशादिनानि ज्ञेयानि ॥
At the day entry, the first dasha (planet period) belongs to the lord of the hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign). This is the hadda in which the lagna (rising sign) of the day entry falls. The first period is by the natural method. After it, the period days of the other planets follow in that order.
Simple meaning: Natural periods for one day: start with the lord of the hadda where the day-entry lagna falls. The other planets follow in order.
अथ दशाफलविचारस्तत्र दशाफलविचारे विशेषफलमाह तेजास्सिंहः ॥
Period results: first judge the year lord and the period lord, then the birth chart. Weigh strength at birth, in the year and in the period.
सूतौ च वर्षसमये च दशाविपाककाले चयो बलयुतस्सकलापि तस्य ॥
Strong at birth, in the year and in its period: the whole period is best. Otherwise judge looks, joinings, place and the Moon's strength.
यो जन्मनीह सबलो विबलोब्दकाले तत्कालमध्यमबलश्च दशा तदीया ।
Strong at birth, weak in the year: the period gives small results first, none later. Reverse strengths give reverse results.
