Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अथ गतिसाम्येपि दशाक्रमज्ञानं पद्धतिभूषणे ॥गतिसमत्वे समवशात्प्रोक्ताद्यैरुदयक्रमादथ च तत्साम्ये तु पाठक्रमात् ॥
Next, in the Paddhatibhushana, the dasha (planet period) order when even the motion is equal: If the motion is equal, ... by the order of rising, as the earlier teachers said. If that too is equal, follow the order of listing. (Our text is unclear here: a few words at the start of the line.)
Simple meaning: Equal motion: the planet that rises first comes first. If that is equal too, follow the usual listing order.
अयमर्थः ॥ गतिसाम्येपि सूर्य्यवशेन प्रथमोदितस्य पूर्वादशा तस्यापि साम्ये लग्नसूर्य्यचंद्रभौमेत्यादिपाठक्रमाद्दशा स्यात् ॥
Equal motion: the planet that rose first from the Sun comes first; then the order lagna, Sun, Moon, Mars and so on.
अथ लग्नग्रहयोरंशसाम्ये पूर्वानीतलग्नबलग्रहबलयोर्मध्ये यस्याधिक्यं तस्याद्या दशा बलसाम्ये लग्नस्य गत्यभावाल्लग्नेशग्रहयोर्मध्ये यस्याऽल्पगतिस्तस्याद्या दशा ॥
Lagna and a planet tie: the stronger comes first. If equal, compare the lagna lord with the planet; the slower comes first.
उक्तञ्च ताजिकसारे ॥
Lagna and a planet tie: Tajikasara agrees. The slower of the lagna lord and the planet comes first.
