Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
सुरार्चनं ब्राह्मणदेवभक्तिं सुखार्थलाभन्नृपतेस्सुहृत्त्वम् ॥ ॥शौक्री दशा सूर्यसुतस्य पाके करोति पुंसां विविधांश्चभोगान् ॥ ६ ॥इति शनावन्तर्दशाफलम् ॥
In Saturn's dasha (planet period), Venus's antardasha (sub-period) brings worship of the gods. There is devotion to Brahmins and gods. Comfort and money come, and the king is friendly. It gives the person many pleasures. This ends the antardasha results in Saturn's dasha.
Simple meaning: Venus's sub-period in Saturn's period: worship, comfort, money, a friendly ruler, many pleasures.
अथ लग्नेशस्यान्तर्दशाफलमेव लग्नदशांतर्दशाफलं ज्ञेयमिति ॥
Sub-periods in the lagna's period: read them as the lagna lord's sub-periods.
अथ शुभाशुभसूचकांतर्दशा वामनेनोक्ताः ॥
Good sub-period lords: in the Sun's period Moon, Mars, Jupiter; Moon's: Mercury, Jupiter, Venus; Mars's: Sun, Moon; Mercury's: Saturn, Mercury…
एवमंतर्दशायाश्च पाचकाः शुभदा ग्रहाः॥
Good and bad sub-periods: the planets listed give good results; the others bad; the same holds for smaller periods.
