Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
हीनांशकानुक्रमतो यथास्थलवैक्यहन्मासमिते यदाप्तम् ॥पृथक्पृथक् तद्गुणिताश्च तेंशा दिनानि वा मासफले दशानामिति ॥
Or else: follow the order of least degrees. Divide the month's length by the total of the degrees as they stand. Multiply those degrees, one by one, by what comes out. This gives the days of the dashas (planet period) for the month's results.
Simple meaning: 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.
प्रत्येकं भुक्तांशा यो यस्यास्तिराशिसंख्यांकः॥
Periods from the degrees still to run: each planet's figure, multiplied, gives its period in days.
व्याख्या॥सर्वग्रहाणां सलग्नानां भुक्तांशान् कर्मभूमौ संस्थाप्य अंशास्त्रिंशन्मध्ये शोधिताः संतो भोग्यांशास्स्युस्तेभ्यः पूर्वोक्तप्रकारेण यो जातांकस्तेन वर्षपरिमाणं भाज्यम् ॥
Degrees still to run: take each degrees-gone figure from 30. Then use the same method as before.
