Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
दशानयनमुक्तं मुक्तावल्याम्॥जन्मनक्षत्रतः प्रोक्ता दशा गौरीमताह्वया ॥सूर्येन्दुकुजराह्विज्यशनिज्ञशशिभार्गवाः ॥१॥
Finding the dasha (planet period) is told in the Muktavali. The dasha called Gaurimata (Gauri's view, a system of nine-planet periods) is counted from the birth nakshatra (star). The lords are Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Moon and Venus. (Our text is unclear here.)
Simple meaning: Gauri's periods: counted from the birth star, with nine lords from the Sun to Venus.
दशेशा वह्निभा ज्ञेयाः क्रमात्रिः परिवर्तनात्॥
Gauri's period lords: counted from Krittika, three rounds of nine stars; days begin 18, 30, 21.
वेदेषवो ५४ नागकृता ४८ मुन्यर्थाः ५७ क्षितिसायकाः५१॥
Gauri's period days, continued: 54, 48, 57, 51, 21, 60; for a month, take a twelfth.
षडंशतुल्यास्त्वेतासां नाडिकाद्याः फलं दशाः ॥
Day periods: a sixth of the days, in ghatikas. Mahadeva's view: count from Ardra, three stars to each lord.
