Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अत्रान्तर्दशाप्रकार उक्तस्तत्रैव ॥शुद्धांशयोगेन भवेत्स्वकीयं दशादिनाद्यश्च बलेन हन्यात् ॥शुद्धांशकांस्तन्निजतः क्रमेण चान्तर्दशाथोविदशापि चैवम् ॥ १ ॥
Here the way of the sub-periods is told in the same place. Take one's own dasha (planet period), in days and so on. Divide it by the total of the shuddhamshas (cleared degrees). By that figure, multiply the cleared degrees in order, starting from its own. These give the apahara (sub-period). The vidasha (still smaller period) is found the same way too.
Simple meaning: 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.
तथा हि योल्पांशखगोंत्यगोस्य पूर्वा दशा तत्फलदा कथं स्यात् ॥
Yadava's objection: a far planet should not get the first period just for having few degrees.
