Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
गतेरपि साम्ये उक्तवल्लग्नेशग्रहयोर्मध्ये पूर्वोदितस्याद्या दशा उदयसाम्येपि कथितपाठक्रमेण दशाक्रमो ज्ञेय इति ॥
If the motion too is equal, then, as said, compare the lagna (rising sign) lord and the planet. The one that rose first has the first dasha (planet period). If the rising too is equal, know the dasha order by the order of listing told before.
Simple meaning: Lagna and a planet still tied: the one that rose first comes first; then the usual listing order.
अथमासप्रवेशे दशानयनमुक्तं मुक्तावल्याम् ॥
Month periods: divide the month's length by the total of remainders, then multiply each remainder by it.
हीनांशकानुक्रमतो यथास्थलवैक्यहन्मासमिते यदाप्तम् ॥
Month periods, another way: divide the month by the total of the degrees as they stand, then multiply each by the result.
समरसिंहेन सर्वग्रहाणां भोग्यांशेभ्यो दशानयनमुक्तम्॥
Periods from the degrees still to run: Samarasimha's method. The year is divided by the total found from these degrees.
