दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
जन्मलग्नाद्दशावेशःषष्ठाष्टेङ्गे दशेश्वरात्॥छिद्रांशस्थोथवा रिष्टं करोति रिपुराशिगः॥
Counted from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth), the period lord may be in the 6th or 8th, or in the 1st. Or, counted from the period lord, it may stand in the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the 8th. Or it may be in an enemy's sign. Then it brings arishta (harm in the year).
Simple meaning: 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.
छिद्रात्रैराशिपः शोध्यः स शनिर्मृत्युसञ्ज्ञकम्॥
Harm in a period: a point from the 8th house, the four-sign group lord and Saturn. When it is active, harm comes.
तत्काले वीर्य्यहीनश्च विलग्नाधिपतिर्यदा॥
Harm in a period: the lagna lord weak and in the 12th, 6th or 8th.
दशाधिपो वीर्य्ययुतः प्रवेशे त्रैराशिकेशोपि युतः शुभैश्च॥
Harm removed: period lord strong at the year entry, and the four-sign group lord with good planets in the 5th, 9th or a growth house.
