Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
यादवेन तु किं मूलमंगीकृत्य राश्यादिग्रहदशानयनमभाणि तदभिप्रायं वयन्न जानीमः ॥ अथ च तथाहीत्यादिपद्येन त्वया युक्तिरुक्ता सा चिंत्या न हि वाचनिकेऽर्थे युक्तिः प्रभवेत् ॥
But on what root did Yadava rely when he told the dasha (planet period) of planets by signs and so on? We do not know his intent. Also, you gave a reason in the verse that begins 'For ...'. That reason needs thought. A reason cannot overrule a point that a text states in words.
Simple meaning: Balabhadra on Yadava: his method has no text behind it, and reasoning cannot override what a text says.
पूर्वोक्तवाक्येषु स्वल्यांशग्रहक्रमेण दशानयनाभिधानात् ॥ अथ च लग्नादित्योडुपानामधिकबलवतस्स्याद्दशाघाततोन्येति जातकपद्धतौ श्रीपत्युक्तेर्लग्नात् द्वादशस्थस्य सूर्यचंद्रमसोरन्यतरस्य बलिष्ठस्यादौ दशाफलदा भवेन्न वेति संदेहः कस्यापि मनसि न जागर्तितराम् ॥
Shripati's rule: the strongest of lagna, Sun and Moon gives the first period, wherever it stands. No one doubts it.
तद्वद्यत्किञ्चिद्भावस्थो ग्रहोल्पांशः शुभमशुभस्वफलं दातुं समर्थ एव॥
Least degrees: a planet with few degrees can give its own good or bad results from any house.
ननु हीनांशादिग्रहाणामाद्या दशोक्ता ततोन्येषामिति तत्राल्पांशानां प्रथमतः फलदातृत्वमुच्यते॥
Least degrees first: the planet with the least degrees gets the first period, so it gives results first.
