Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
उदाहरणम् ॥ तत्र लग्नादिक्रमेण सर्वे ग्रहाः शोधितग्रहाश्च लिख्यंते अत्र सर्वखगाधिकं विवरं राश्यादि २। २४।३९।५५ सर्वभावप्रांते वर्तमानस्य चंद्रस्याधस्ताल्लिखितम् ॥ अथैषां शुद्धानां योगोराश्यादि १३।१४।२३।२५ एषामंशाः ४०४।२३।२५ सौरवर्षमानं ३६० भक्तं लब्धोदिनादिध्रुवकः०।५३।४०।५०अनेन ग्रहाणां मन्तरराश्यादीनि गुणितानि जाता दशाहास्सौराः ॥
An example. Here all the planets are written in order from the lagna (rising sign), and the subtracted planets too. The gap beyond all the planets is 2 signs 24 degrees 39 minutes 55 seconds. It is written below the Moon, which stands at the end of all the houses. The total of these cleared figures is 13 signs 14 degrees 23 minutes 25 seconds. In degrees it is 404 degrees 23 minutes 25 seconds. Divide the solar year, 360, by it. The dhruvanka (fixed multiplier) is 0 days 53 ghatikas (24-minute unit) 40 palas (24-second unit) 50 vipalas (one-sixtieth of a pala), as printed. Multiply the planets' gaps, in signs and so on, by it. These give the solar dasha (planet period) days.
Simple meaning: Yadava's worked example: the remainders total about 404 degrees. 360 divided by it gives a multiplier a little under one day.
अत्रान्तर्दशाप्रकार उक्तस्तत्रैव ॥
Yadava's sub-periods: treat each period like a small year and share it out by the same remainders, starting with its own.
राश्यादिग्रहशुद्धांशयोगेन
A note: the total used is that of the planets' remainders counted with their signs.
अथ हीनांशक्रमदशादूषणमाह स एव ॥
Yadava's objection: those who order periods by fewest degrees did not learn the foreign tradition.
