Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अयमर्थः ॥ गतिसाम्येपि सूर्य्यवशेन प्रथमोदितस्य पूर्वादशा तस्यापि साम्ये लग्नसूर्य्यचंद्रभौमेत्यादिपाठक्रमाद्दशा स्यात् ॥
This is the meaning. If the motion too is equal, the planet that rose first, counted from the Sun, has the earlier dasha (planet period). If that too is equal, the dasha goes by the order of listing. That is lagna (rising sign), Sun, Moon, Mars and so on.
Simple meaning: 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.
गतेरपि साम्ये उक्तवल्लग्नेशग्रहयोर्मध्ये पूर्वोदितस्याद्या दशा उदयसाम्येपि कथितपाठक्रमेण दशाक्रमो ज्ञेय इति ॥
Lagna and a planet still tied: the one that rose first comes first; then the usual listing order.
