Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
वामनेन तु मुन्थाफलज्ञानार्थं लग्नवन्मुन्थादशापि कर्तव्येत्युक्तम् ॥सर्वग्रहाणां मुन्थाया भुक्तांशान् स्वाँश्च पीडयेदिति ॥
Vamana says this about the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). To know its results, a dasha (planet period) of the muntha should be made too. It is made like the lagna's (rising sign). 'Take the degrees gone of all the planets and of the muntha, and their own, and work them.'
Simple meaning: Muntha period: Vamana says to give the muntha a period too, found like the lagna's.
यत्रयत्र द्वयोर्बहूनां वा ग्रहाणामंशादिसाम्यन्तत्र दशाक्रमज्ञानमुक्तम् हिल्लाजेन ॥
Equal degrees: the stronger planet's period comes first. If strength is equal too, the slower planet's comes first.
वर्षतंत्रेपि ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 4.4; see its meaning there.
अत्र शुद्धांशानाम्पात्यांशानां साम्येऽधिकबलग्रहस्याद्यदशा नैतद्युक्तम् ॥ शुद्धांशसाम्ये यतो दशाक्रमज्ञानंहीनांशक्रमेणोक्तम्॥अत्र हीनांशसाम्याभावे पात्यांशसाम्याभावे पात्यांशसाम्यं भवति॥
What 'cleared degrees' means: not the remainders. Equal remainders do not change the fewest-degree order.
