Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
तद्वद्यत्किञ्चिद्भावस्थो ग्रहोल्पांशः शुभमशुभस्वफलं दातुं समर्थ एव॥
In the same way, a planet with few degrees can give its own results. This holds in whatever house it stands. Its results may be good or bad.
Simple meaning: 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.
आदौ संपूर्णफलदम्मध्ये मध्येफलप्रदम्॥
Degrees in a sign: a lagna gives full results at its start, middling in the middle and small at its end. It is the same with everything.
सर्वस्मिन् ग्रहे भावे च यथायथा राशिसमीपवर्त्यंशस्थितत्वम्भवति ॥ तथा तथा महाफलदातृत्वमस्ति॥यथायथांशोपचयस्तथातथा तुच्छफलदातृत्वमस्ति॥प्राग्ग्रहापेक्षया किञ्चिन्यूनमितियुक्तिः॥
Degree and results: a planet or house near the start of its sign gives big results. As its degrees grow, its results get smaller.
