Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अथदशारिष्टमुक्तं हिल्लाजदीपिकायाम् ॥दशादौ दशेशस्त्रिराशीश्वरश्च यदा नष्टवीर्योभवेद्रिष्टमुक्तम् ॥विपक्षाष्टमस्थोथवा क्रूरदृष्टयुतस्स्यादरिष्टं तदा पाककाले ॥
Now harm in a dasha (planet period), as told in the Hillajadipika. At the start of a dasha, the period lord and the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) may have lost strength. Then arishta (harm in the year) is told. Or the period lord may stand in the 6th or 8th. Or it may be seen by or joined with bad planets. Then there is arishta in that period.
Simple meaning: Harm in a period: period lord and four-sign group lord weak at the start, or in the 6th or 8th, or with bad planets.
त्रिराशीश्वरश्चंद्रपाकेश्वरौ तु रिपुच्छिद्ररिःफेषु संख्यावरिष्टम्॥
Harm in a period: four-sign group lord, Moon and period lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th, or these lords so placed from the Moon.
त्रिराशिकेशस्तनुतो विधोर्वा पाकेश्वराद्द्विद्वि२२मिते द्रकाणे॥
Harm in a period: four-sign group lord in the 22nd third-part from the lagna, the Moon or the period lord.
जन्मलग्नाद्दशावेशःषष्ठाष्टेङ्गे दशेश्वरात्॥
Harm in a period: period lord in the 6th, 8th or 1st from the birth lagna, or badly placed from the period lord, or in an enemy's sign.
