This table lists Gauri's dasha (planet period) lords, their stars and their days. The lords are Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus. Their first nakshatra (star) row is Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha and Purva Phalguni. The second row is Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Mula and Purva Ashadha. The third row is Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati, Ashvini and Bharani. By Mahadevamata (Mahadeva's view, the same periods counted from Ardra), their first stars are Ardra, Ashlesha, Uttara Phalguni, Swati, Jyeshtha and Uttara Ashadha. Then come Shatabhisha, Revati and Krittika. A row of 3s follows: three stars to each lord. Their days are 18, 30, 21, 54, 48, 57, 51, 21 and 60, total 390. Their month shares are 1 1/2, 2 1/2, 1 3/4, 4 1/2 and 4. Then 4 3/4, 4 1/4, 1 3/4 and 5, total 30. Their day shares are 3, 5, 3 1/2, 9 and 8. Then 9 1/2, 8 1/2, 3 1/2 and 10, total 30. (Our text is unclear here: the last total; the day shares add to 60.)
Simple meaning: 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.
अन्यास्तदग्रिमस्थानादेवमन्तर्दशा अपि ॥
Mudda sub-periods: the rest follow in order; a bad planet's year brings sorrow, a good one's brings happiness.
