Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
छिद्रात्रैराशिपः शोध्यः स शनिर्मृत्युसञ्ज्ञकम्॥तत्काले वीर्यसंयुक्तमरिष्टं जायते ध्रुवम्॥
Take the 8th house and subtract the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) from it. With Saturn, that point is named mrityu (death). At that time, a strong arishta (harm in the year) surely arises.
Simple meaning: 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.
इति श्रीबलभद्रकृते हायनरत्ने दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः॥
End of the chapter on the year's planet periods.
