दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
प्रांते पुनर्भुक्तघटीसमुत्थं दिनाद्यमाद्यस्य लिखेत्स्वगस्येति ॥ उदाहरणम् ॥ कस्यापि रोहिणी जन्मनक्षत्रं सा रोहिणी चंद्राधःस्था अतः प्रथमवर्षे चंद्रस्य दशा द्वितीयवर्षे भौमस्य तृतीयवर्षे राहोर्दशा एवमग्रेपि ज्ञेयम् ॥ अथास्य जन्मनिरोहिणीनक्षत्रस्य भुक्तघटिकाः ४० भोग्यघटिकाः २० तत्राष्टमवर्षप्रवेशे शुक्रदशा जाता ॥ तस्या दिनानि ६० भोग्य २० घटीगुणानि १२०० सर्वर्क्षघटी ६० भक्तानि जातानि शुक्रदशादिनानि तत्राष्टमवर्षे आदौ शुक्रदशा भोग्यदिनमिता २० ततो रवेः १८ ततश्चंद्रस्य ३० भौमस्य २१ राहोः ५४ गुरोः ४८ शनेः ५७ ज्ञस्य ५१ केतोः २१ पुनः प्रान्ते शुक्रदशा भुक्तदिनमिता ४० ज्ञेया ॥
...At the end, write again the days of the first planet, made from the ghatika (24-minute unit) passed, in its own place. Here is an example. Someone's birth nakshatra (star) is Rohini. Rohini stands under the Moon. So in the first year the dasha (planet period) is the Moon's. In the second year it is Mars's. In the third year it is Rahu's. Go on in the same way. For this person's birth star Rohini, 40 ghatikas had passed and 20 were still to run. At the entry of the 8th year, Venus's dasha came. Its days are 60. Multiply by the 20 ghatikas still to run: 1200. Divide by 60, the ghatikas of the whole star. This gives Venus's dasha days. So in the 8th year, Venus's dasha comes first, for the 20 days still to run. Then come the Sun 18, the Moon 30, Mars 21 and Rahu 54. Then Jupiter 48, Saturn 57, Mercury 51 and Ketu 21. At the end, Venus's dasha comes again, for the 40 days already passed.
Simple meaning: Gauri's periods, example: birth star Rohini, 8th year in Venus's period; Venus 20 days, then the others, Ketu 21 days, then Venus 40.
अत्र गौरीमतमहादेवमतदशा बलराममतदशा च मासप्रवेशे मासप्रवेशदिननक्षत्राज्ज्ञेया ॥ दिनप्रवेशे दिनप्रवेशस्पष्टलग्ननक्षत्राज्ज्ञेया ॥ यथा मेषे त्रयोदशांशविंशतिकलापर्यन्तमश्विनीनक्षत्रमेव ज्ञेयम् ॥ अस्या एव नामान्तरं मुद्दादशेति ॥
Month and day periods: at the month entry use that day's star; at the day entry use the star of the lagna. These are the mudda periods.
मुद्ददशानयने सुगमोपायो मिश्रकृतः ॥
Mudda period lord of a year: years passed plus the birth star number, less 2, divided by 9; the remainder counts Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter…
सू चं मं रा बृ श बु के शु ग्रहाः
Table of Gauri's periods: the nine lords with their stars, days in the year, shares in a month and shares in a day.
