Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
यो जन्मनीह सबलो विबलोब्दकाले तत्कालमध्यमबलश्च दशा तदीया ।आद्ये स्मृता लघुफला विफला परार्द्धे ज्ञेया विपर्ययफला बलवैपरीत्ये ॥
A planet may be strong at birth, weak in the year, and of middle strength at the period's time. Then its dasha (planet period) gives small results in the first half. It gives no result in the second half. If the strengths are the other way round, the results are the other way round.
Simple meaning: Strong at birth, weak in the year: the period gives small results first, none later. Reverse strengths give reverse results.
वर्षेच जन्मनि बली विबलो विपाके पाके बली च विबलः प्रसवाब्दकाले ॥
Mixed or middling strength at birth, in the year and in the period: the period gives little.
यो वीर्यवान् जनुषि मध्यबलश्च वर्षे वीर्योपिताश्रितदशासमये दशायाः ॥
Strong at birth, middling in the year: full results early in the period, small results later.
वीर्योज्झितस्त्रिसमये बहुदुःखदायी यावद्बलं तु खचरस्य फलं तु तावत् ॥
Weak at birth, in the year and in the period: much sorrow. Results follow the planet's strength.
