दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
लग्नादीनामथैतेषां सौरसावनतोक्तवत्॥अयं दशाक्रमो भावदशाक्रमणिकाभिधः ॥१॥
For the lagna (rising sign) and these other houses, turn the days into solar-civil days, as stated. This order of periods is called the house-period order.
Simple meaning: House periods: turn their solar days into solar-civil days. This is called the house order.
अत्र प्रकारांतरंतत्रैवोक्तम्।
House periods, another way: the degrees between houses, times 300, divided by the sign's rising time.
दिनाद्या लग्नपूर्वाणां स्वस्वामिफलदायकाः॥
House periods: each house's period gives the results of that house's lord.
अत्र भावस्वामिनां बलेन शुभमशुभं वा दशाफलं भावदशादिषु वाच्यम् ॥
House periods: a strong house lord gives good results in its period; a weak one, bad.
