दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
मुद्ददशानयने सुगमोपायो मिश्रकृतः ॥जन्मर्क्षसंख्यासहितागताब्दाद्दृगूनिता नंद ९ हृतावशेषाः ॥आचंकुराशीशबुकेशुपूर्वा ग्रहा दशास्वामिन इत्थमब्दे ॥
An easy way to find the mudda (Gauri's yearly period system) dasha (planet period), made by Mishra. Take the years passed and add the number of the birth nakshatra (star). Take away 2. Divide by 9 and keep the remainder. The remainder gives the dasha lord for the year. The planets go in this order: Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus.
Simple meaning: 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, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus.
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.
अत्रांतर्दशाः सुगमोपायेनसामुद्रिकग्रन्थे उक्ताः ॥
Mudda sub-periods: each planet has a multiplier, 4, 8, 5, 7, 10, 6, 9, 5, 6, from the Sun on; multiply the period by it.
षष्ट्याप्तान्तर्दशा तस्य जायतेतिपरिस्फुटा ॥
Mudda sub-periods: divide by 60; the year's own planet takes the first sub-period.
