Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
आधारमिन्दुजबलं निखिलग्रहाणामाहुर्बलस्य खलु दैवविदः पुराणाः ॥तस्माच्छुभाशुभशशाङ्कबलादिनोत्थं दद्युः फलं निजदशासु शुभाशुभञ्चेति ॥
The old daivajnas (astrologers) say this. The strength that comes from the Moon is the base of every planet's strength. So planets give results in their own dasha (planet period) from the Moon's strength and the like. If that strength is good, the results are good. If bad, they are bad.
Simple meaning: Moon's strength in the periods: it is the base of all planets' strength. Good or bad period results follow it.
अथ दशाफलविचारे विशेषमाहसमरसिंहः ॥
Year lord rules the year's periods: tell its results by its own nature.
तेजःसिंहोपि ॥
Year lord rules all the year's periods: good or bad by its strength at birth, in the year and in the period.
अयमर्थः॥वर्षे वर्षेश्वरस्यैव दशाफलं ज्ञेयम् ॥ अन्येषां ग्रहाणान्निजदशामितैर्दिनैर्वर्षेशदशायामंतर्दशाफलं ज्ञेयम् ।
Year lord's period: only the year lord gives the year's period result. Other planets give sub-period results inside it.
