दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अथ शुभाशुभसूचकांतर्दशा वामनेनोक्ताः ॥चंद्रारजीवा १ बुधजीवशुक्रा २ दिवाकरेन्दू३रविजज्ञशुक्राः ४ ॥रवीन्दुशुक्रा ५ बुधजीवमन्दा६ जीवज्ञशुक्रा ७ रवितः क्रमात्स्युः ॥१॥
Next, Vamana tells which antardasha (sub-period) lords show good and which show bad. 1: Moon, Mars and Jupiter. 2: Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. 3: Sun and Moon. 4: Saturn, Mercury and Venus. 5: Sun, Moon and Venus. 6: Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. 7: Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. These go in order of the dasha (planet period) lords, counting from the Sun.
Simple meaning: 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, Venus; Jupiter's: Sun, Moon, Venus; Venus's: Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn; Saturn's: Jupiter, Mercury, Venus.
एवमंतर्दशायाश्च पाचकाः शुभदा ग्रहाः॥
Good and bad sub-periods: the planets listed give good results; the others bad; the same holds for smaller periods.
