Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
इति मुद्ददशाविचारे सर्वग्रहाणां मुद्दान्तर्दशा समाप्ता ॥अत्र स्वदशाफलमेव स्वान्तर्दशाफलं ज्ञेयम् ॥अथ यत्र ग्रहाणामनुक्तं तत्रार्द्धश्लोकेन पूर्वोक्तग्रहादग्रिमग्रहफलंज्ञेयमिति विशेषः॥समाप्तेयं गौरीमतदशामुद्दाभिधा महादेवमतदशाफलमेतदेवज्ञेयम्॥
So, in the study of the mudda (Gauri's yearly period system) periods, the mudda sub-periods of all the planets are complete. Here, a planet's own sub-period gives just the result of its own dasha (planet period). Next, where the planet is not named, a half-verse gives the result of the planet after the one named before. This is a special point. So ends this Gaurimata (Gauri's view, a system of nine-planet periods) dasha, called mudda. The dasha results of Mahadevamata (Mahadeva's view, the same periods counted from Ardra) are known to be the same.
Simple meaning: End of the mudda results: a planet's own sub-period gives its period's result. An unnamed half-line goes to the next planet. Mahadeva's periods give the same results.
अथ राममते दशा ताजिकमुक्तावल्याम्॥
Balarama's periods: the lords rule from Ardra, four and three stars in turn. Days: 20, 50, 27, 57, 33 and on.
त्र्यंगानि६३खाब्धयः४०पूर्णशैला७०स्तद्दिवसा मताः ॥
Balarama's periods, continued: the last days are 63, 40 and 70. Count from the star of the year entry.
बलोदिता यस्य दशा ग्रहस्य याद्या दशास्याद्भवशाद्दिनाद्या॥
Balarama's periods: divide a planet's days by the number of stars it rules. That gives each star's share.
