Chapter 7 · Finding the Dashas
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अन्येषामपि मतान्याहुरभियुक्तास्तु ज्योतिर्विंदः॥विहीनराशिक्रमतो दशाहान्यथास्थिताक्षैंजगुरित्थमेके ॥केचित्तु युक्तायनभामकेभ्यो राश्यादिकेभ्यस्त्वपरेंशकेभ्यः ॥ १ ॥
Learned astrologers also state the views of others. Some taught the days of the dasha (planet period) in the order of least signs. They used the positions as they stand. Others counted from the signs and so on, with the ayanamsha (the zodiac shift) added. Still others counted from the degrees alone.
Simple meaning: Other views on the order: some count least signs, some add the zodiac shift, and some use degrees alone.
यतरवत्तखुत्तवरखिन्धिकरोमकाद्याम्लेच्छास्तथा च कृतिनस्समरसिंहपूर्वाः ॥
Least-degree order: the foreign teachers and Samarasimha dropped the signs. A planet near the start of its sign is stronger, so it comes first.
अथ ग्रहाणान्तासीरदशा मुक्तावल्याम् ॥
Tasira periods: only planets that look at the lagna get a period. The stronger the look, the earlier its period.
पृथक्पृथग्दृष्टिकलादिकेन वर्षादिसंख्याद्युमुखन्निहन्यात् ॥
Tasira periods, working: each planet's look times the year's days, divided by the total of the looks, gives its days.
