दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
Dashas in varshaphal are the planet periods that spread the year's results over time. This chapter starts by saying why they are needed.
It then teaches the main method, which lists the planets by their degrees, and shows how to find the start day of each period. It also gives other ways to set the periods, such as by the planets that look at the lagna. Then it gives the results of each planet's period and sub-period, and Gauri's mudda periods from the birth star, and ends with a guide on which system to use.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अत्र लग्नस्यैव सर्वापेक्षया मुख्यत्वात् तत्समीपवर्तिनो ग्रहस्याद्या दशा दूरवर्तिनः पश्चादितिसयुक्तिकविचाराभावाद्धीनांशमार्गदशावश्यं त्याज्येति यादवोक्तिः ॥
Here the lagna (rising sign) matters most of all. So the planet near it should have the first dasha (planet period), and the far one later. The least-degree method lacks this sound reasoning. So it must be dropped. This is what Yadava says.
Simple meaning: Yadava's point: the planet nearest the lagna should get the first period.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
न तु यादवोक्तदशा सावने किंमूलम्पूर्वोक्तसमरसिंहवाक्ये राशिशब्दोपादानात्समरसिंहवाक्यमेव मूलमिति यतो राशिशब्दो मेषादिराशिवाचकः संघवाचकश्च द्वौ राशीपुंजमेषाद्यावित्यमरसिंहोक्तेरत्रराशिशब्दः संघवाची संपन्नः कथं अंशकशब्दस्त्रिंशद्भाववाचकोस्ति राशिशब्दस्य मेषादिवाचकत्वे सत्यपि अंशात्मकत्वात्तेषां राशीनां पृथगंशशब्दोपादानं व्यर्थं स्यात् ॥
But what is the root of Yadava's dasha (planet period)? [He may say:] Samarasimha's words, told before, use the word rashi. So Samarasimha's words are the root. [The reply:] the word rashi means a sign like Aries, and also a heap. Amarasimha says it. 'Rashi has two senses: a heap, and Aries and the rest'. Here the word rashi has come to mean a heap. How? The word amsha means the thirty parts of a sign. If rashi meant a sign like Aries, those signs are made of degrees. So naming the degrees separately would be pointless.
Simple meaning: Balabhadra's reply: in Samarasimha's verse rashi means a heap of degrees, not a zodiac sign. So Yadava's method has no root.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अत एव सर्वग्रहभुक्तांशानेवं संस्थाप्येति पद्यद्वयेन समरसिंहेन भोग्यभागेभ्य एव दशानयनं स्वीयमतांतरेणाभ्यधायि न भोग्यराशिभ्य इति ॥ अमुमेवाभिप्रायं मनस्यभिधाय समरसिंहाभिप्रायज्ञैस्तेजस्सिंहवामनादिभिः साक्षादंशादिग्रहणमेवाकारि ॥
That is why Samarasimha, in his own other view, gave the dasha (planet period) from the degrees still to run. He did so in the two verses that begin 'set out the degrees gone of all the planets'. He did not give it from the signs still to run. With this very meaning in mind, those who knew Samarasimha's intent took the degrees directly. These are Tejahsimha, Vamana and others.
Simple meaning: Samarasimha counted only degrees, not signs. Tejahsimha, Vamana and others followed him.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
कैश्चिद्राशित्यागोपि ॥ तद्यथा तेजास्सिंहः ॥स्पष्टांशादीन्सप्त खेटान्सलग्नान्कृत्वांशाद्यं भुक्तमादाय तेषाम्॥योल्पांशः स्यात्तद्दशायास्तु पूर्वं स्थाप्यास्तस्मादप्यधो योधिकांश इति॥
Some also drop the signs. For example, Tejahsimha: Make the seven planets and the lagna (rising sign) exact, in degrees and so on. Take the degrees gone of each. The one with the fewest degrees: its dasha (planet period) is set first. Below it, set the one with more degrees.
Simple meaning: Tejahsimha: drop the signs. The planet with fewest degrees gets the first period.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
वामनोपि ॥भुक्तभागादिकाः खेटाः कर्तव्यालग्नसंयुता इति ॥
Vamana too: The planets, with the lagna (rising sign), should be taken by their degrees gone and so on.
Simple meaning: Vamana: use only the degrees gone of the planets and the lagna.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
मुक्तावल्यामपि ॥न्यूनांशस्य दशादिना तदनु बह्वंशस्य चेति क्रमादिति ॥
In the Muktavali too: The dasha (planet period) of the one with the fewest degrees comes first. Then that of the one with more degrees, in order.
Simple meaning: Muktavali: fewest degrees first, then more.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ताजिकभूषणेपि ॥आदौ हीनलवस्ततोधिकलवस्तस्मादनल्पांशक इति ॥
The Tajikabhushana says it too. First the one with the fewest degrees, then the one with more, then the one with still more.
Simple meaning: Tajikabhushana: fewest degrees first, then more.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ताजिकसारे॥सांगेषु खेटेषु लवादिनाथो हीनस्तदेशान् प्रथमं विलिख्येति ॥
In the Tajikasara: Among the planets with the lagna (rising sign), find the one lowest in degrees and so on. Write it first.
Simple meaning: Tajikasara: the planet with fewest degrees is written first.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ताजिकालंकारेपि ॥आदावल्पलवस्ततोधिकलव इति ॥
In the Tajikalankara too: First the one with the fewest degrees, then the one with more degrees.
Simple meaning: Tajikalankara: fewest degrees first.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ताजिकतिलकेपि ॥स्पष्टीकृतांगयुतसप्तदिवौकसां यो भागादिनालघुतरः किल तद्दशादाविति ॥
In the Tajikatilaka too: Make the seven planets exact, with the lagna (rising sign). The one that is smaller in degrees and so on: its dasha (planet period) comes first.
Simple meaning: Tajikatilaka: the planet with fewest degrees gets the first period.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ग्रहज्ञाभरणेपि ॥सलग्नसप्तग्रहहीनभुक्तभागान्विलिख्य प्रथमश्चेति ॥
The Grahajnabharana says it too. Write the degrees gone of the seven planets and the lagna (rising sign), fewest first. And the first ...
Simple meaning: Grahajnabharana: write the planets by fewest degrees gone.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ताजिकरत्नमालायामपि ॥सलग्नसूर्यादिषु खेचरेषु योल्पांशकः स प्रथमं विधेय इति ॥
The Tajikaratnamala says it too. Among the planets from the Sun, with the lagna (rising sign), the fewest degrees come first.
Simple meaning: Tajikaratnamala: fewest degrees first.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
इत्यादिबहूनि वचांसि राशिराहित्यप्रतिपादकानि संति ॥
These and many other sayings teach that the signs are left out.
Simple meaning: Many texts agree: the signs are dropped.
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.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
पूर्वोक्तवाक्येषु स्वल्यांशग्रहक्रमेण दशानयनाभिधानात् ॥ अथ च लग्नादित्योडुपानामधिकबलवतस्स्याद्दशाघाततोन्येति जातकपद्धतौ श्रीपत्युक्तेर्लग्नात् द्वादशस्थस्य सूर्यचंद्रमसोरन्यतरस्य बलिष्ठस्यादौ दशाफलदा भवेन्न वेति संदेहः कस्यापि मनसि न जागर्तितराम् ॥
For in the sayings told above, the dasha (planet period) is worked out by the order of planets with the fewest degrees. Also, Shripati says this in the Jataka Paddhati. 'Of the lagna (rising sign), the Sun and the Moon, the strongest has the first dasha. The others follow'. Suppose the Sun or the Moon is the strongest and stands in the 12th house from the lagna. Does it give the first dasha's results or not? No such doubt rises in anyone's mind.
Simple meaning: Shripati's rule: the strongest of lagna, Sun and Moon gives the first period, wherever it stands. No one doubts it.
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.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ननु हीनांशादिग्रहाणामाद्या दशोक्ता ततोन्येषामिति तत्राल्पांशानां प्रथमतः फलदातृत्वमुच्यते॥
Indeed, the first dasha (planet period) is given to the planet with the least degrees. Then come the others. So the planets with few degrees are said to give results first.
Simple meaning: Least degrees first: the planet with the least degrees gets the first period, so it gives results first.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
आदौ संपूर्णफलदम्मध्ये मध्येफलप्रदम्॥अन्ते तुच्छफलं लग्नं सर्वस्मिन्नेवमेव हीति नारदकश्यपोक्तेः ॥
A lagna (rising sign) gives full results at its start. In the middle, it gives middling results. At its end, it gives small results. It is the same with everything. So say Narada and Kashyapa.
Simple meaning: 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.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
सर्वस्मिन् ग्रहे भावे च यथायथा राशिसमीपवर्त्यंशस्थितत्वम्भवति ॥ तथा तथा महाफलदातृत्वमस्ति॥यथायथांशोपचयस्तथातथा तुच्छफलदातृत्वमस्ति॥प्राग्ग्रहापेक्षया किञ्चिन्यूनमितियुक्तिः॥
For every planet and house, the nearer it stands to the start of its sign, the bigger its results. The more its degrees grow, the smaller its results. Compared with the planet before it, each gives a little less. This is the reasoning.
Simple meaning: Degree and results: a planet or house near the start of its sign gives big results. As its degrees grow, its results get smaller.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
एवंजीर्णताजिकशास्त्रमूलभूतं हीनांशक्रमेण दशानयनं श्रीमन्नीलकण्ठदैवज्ञैर्नवीनमतताजिककर्तृभिश्चोक्तम्॥
So the order of periods by least degrees has its root in the old Tajika science. The revered astrologer Nilakantha taught it. The authors of the new Tajika school taught it too.
Simple meaning: Least-degree order: it rests on the old Tajika texts. Nilakantha and the newer writers teach it too.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
एतत्स्पष्टं मुक्तावल्याम्॥राश्यादिहीनक्रमतो गृहादेः केचिद्वदन्त्याध्वनिका दशाहान् ॥राशीनयास्येति पुरातनोक्तीरमन्यमानास्तु दुराग्रहेण ॥
This is made clear in the Muktavali. Some passers-by say this. The days of the dasha (planet period) follow the order of least signs, degrees and so on. They count from the lagna (rising sign) and the rest. They do not accept the old sayings that drop the signs. They hold this view out of stubbornness.
Simple meaning: Counting signs is wrong: some count the periods by least signs. They ignore the old rule that the signs are dropped.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
इत्यलमतिप्रसगेन ॥
Enough of this long side-talk.
Simple meaning: End of the argument: no more needs to be said.
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.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
यतरवत्तखुत्तवरखिन्धिकरोमकाद्याम्लेच्छास्तथा च कृतिनस्समरसिंहपूर्वाः ॥राशीनपास्य जगुरल्पलवाद्दशाद्यं तद्भादिगस्य खचरस्य बलाधिकत्वादिति ॥
Foreign teachers named Yatara, Vatta, Khutta, Varakhindhi, Romaka and others dropped the signs. So did skilled men led by Samarasimha. They taught that the first period comes from the least degrees. This is because a planet near the start of its sign is stronger.
Simple meaning: 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.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
ये वर्षमासदिनलग्ननिरीक्षकाः स्युस्ते तत्र तन्मितदशापतयो न चान्ये ॥आद्या दशाधिकदशाश्च ततस्तदूनस्येतिक्रमेण विदुषः प्रवदंति वर्षे ॥
Next, the tasira dasha (period by the planets' looks on the lagna) of the planets, in the Muktavali. Planets that look at the lagna (rising sign) of the year, month or day rule the periods there. Their periods are measured by that look. No other planets rule. The first period goes to the planet with the stronger look. Then come the ones with less, in order. So the learned say for the year.
Simple meaning: Tasira periods: only planets that look at the lagna get a period. The stronger the look, the earlier its period.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
पृथक्पृथग्दृष्टिकलादिकेन वर्षादिसंख्याद्युमुखन्निहन्यात् ॥भजेद्दगैक्येन च तन्मतेन लब्धं दशाहाद्युफलेननाड्यः ॥
Write each planet's look separately, in minutes and so on. Multiply it by the count of days in the year, and so on. Divide by the total of all the looks. By this rule, the result is the period in days. For the day's result, it comes in ghatikas (24-minute units).
Simple meaning: Tasira periods, working: each planet's look times the year's days, divided by the total of the looks, gives its days.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अत्र लग्ननिरीक्षका ग्रहा हीनांशक्रमेण दशाप्रदास्स्युरिति ताजिकसारोक्तिर्न युक्तिसहा यतस्तासीरदशा दृष्टिमूलभूता दृष्टिरहितस्याल्पांशखेटस्य सबलस्यापि दशाभावात् ॥
Here the Tajikasara says this. The planets looking at the lagna (rising sign) give periods in the order of least degrees. That does not stand up to reason. The tasira dasha (period by the planets' looks on the lagna) is rooted in the look. A planet with few degrees but no look gets no period, even if strong.
Simple meaning: Tasira periods: they go by the look on the lagna, not by least degrees. A planet with no look gets no period.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
उदाहरणम् ॥ वर्षलग्ननिरीक्षकाः सूर्येन्दुबुधगुरुशनयः संति तेषां दृष्टिः कलादिका सू५० चं४०बु३० शु२०श१० वर्षसंख्यासौरी ३६० स्वस्वदृष्ट्या गुणिता दृष्ट्यैक्येन भक्ताल्लब्धा दशाहाः सू१२० चं ९६ बुध७२ शु४८ श २४ अनेनैव क्रमेण सूर्यादीनां वर्षदशाः स्युः
An example. The planets looking at the lagna (rising sign) of the year are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn. Their looks, in minutes and so on, are: Sun 50, Moon 40, Mercury 30, Venus [as printed] 20, Saturn 10. The year count is 360 solar days. Multiply it by each look. Divide by the total of the looks. The dasha (planet period) days are: Sun 120, Moon 96, Mercury 72, Venus [as printed] 48, Saturn 24. In this same order, the Sun and the others have their periods in the year.
Simple meaning: Tasira periods, year example: looks of 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 share 360 days as 120, 96, 72, 48 and 24.

The table lists the periods by degrees still to run (Samarasimha's way). The planets are in order of least degrees. Jupiter: degrees 3;0, still to run 27;0, patyamsha (degrees left after subtracting) 5;20, period 71 days 6 ghatikas (24-minute units) 40 palas (24-second units). Saturn: degrees 8;20, still to run 21;40, patyamsha 3;10, period 42;24;20. Mars: degrees 11;30, still to run 18;30, patyamsha 4;15, period 53;30;0.

Venus: degrees 22;50, still to run 7;10, patyamsha 4;0, period 53;20;0. Moon: degrees 26;50, still to run 3;10, patyamsha 2;10, period 28;53;0. Sun: degrees 29;0, still to run 1;0, patyamsha 1;0, period 13;20;0.
Simple meaning: Table of periods by degrees: eight rows, Jupiter to the Sun, with degrees, degrees left, deducted degrees and the days of each period.

Next, the planets looking at the lagna (rising sign) of the month are the Sun, Mars, Venus and the Moon. Their looks, in minutes and so on, are: Sun 4 [as printed], Mars 25, Venus 15, Moon 10. Here the month count is 30. In the same order, multiply it by each look. Divide by the total of the looks, 90. The month dasha (planet period) days are: Sun 13;20, Mars 8;20, Venus 5;10, Moon 3;21. (Our text is unclear here: the Venus and Moon figures do not match the rule.)
Simple meaning: Tasira periods, month example: 30 days are shared by the looks of the Sun, Mars, Venus and the Moon.

Now the day entry. The planets looking at its lagna (rising sign) are the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mars. Their looks, in minutes and so on, are: Moon 45, Jupiter 30, Venus 20, Saturn 15, Mars 10. The time between two day entries is taken as 60 ghatikas (24-minute units). Multiply it by each look. Divide by the total of the looks, 120. The dasha (planet period) ghatikas are: Moon 22;30, Jupiter 15, Venus 10, Saturn 7, Mars 30. (Our text is unclear here: the Saturn and Mars figures do not match the rule.)
Simple meaning: Tasira periods, day example: 60 ghatikas are shared by the looks of the Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mars.

शोध्यलग्नादयो भावास्स्वीयस्वीया प्रभावतः ॥पृथक् पृथक् शेषांशास्ते कल्प्यादिवसाः क्रमात् ॥ २ ॥
Next, the house tasira (a Tajika word for a planet's influence) dasha (planet period), in the same text. Take the houses, from the lagna (rising sign) on. Take each one away from the next, each by its own. The degrees left for each are taken as its days, in order.
Simple meaning: House periods: the degrees between one house and the next give that house's days.
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.

Here another way is given in the same text. Take the degrees between the houses in this way. Multiply each by 300. Divide by its own rising time. The results are the tasira (a Tajika word for a planet's influence) periods, in order.
Simple meaning: House periods, another way: the degrees between houses, times 300, divided by the sign's rising time.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
दिनाद्या लग्नपूर्वाणां स्वस्वामिफलदायकाः॥सौरसावनतश्चासाम्प्रकर्तव्यानिरुक्तवत् ॥ २ ॥
These periods are for the lagna (rising sign) and the other houses, in days and so on. Each gives the results of its own lord. Make them solar-civil too, as stated.
Simple meaning: House periods: each house's period gives the results of that house's lord.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अत्र भावस्वामिनां बलेन शुभमशुभं वा दशाफलं भावदशादिषु वाच्यम् ॥
Here, in the house periods and the like, tell the period's result by the strength of the house lords. The result may be good or bad.
Simple meaning: House periods: a strong house lord gives good results in its period; a weak one, bad.

So, a rule of three for solar-civil days. Suppose 30 solar days of a month give 30;26;10;37;10 solar-civil days. Then how many do the solar days of each house give? So multiply the month's solar-civil days by the house's solar days. Divide by thirty. The result is the period's solar-civil days.
Simple meaning: Solar to solar-civil days: house days times 30;26;10;37;10, divided by 30.

Next, a special point in the house tasira (a Tajika word for a planet's influence) dasha (planet period), by another way, stated in the same text. The lagna (rising sign) less the junction of the 12th house gives the 1st house's degrees already run. The lagna's junction less the lagna gives its degrees still to run.
Simple meaning: House periods by junctions: the lagna less the 12th junction is degrees run; the lagna junction less the lagna is degrees to run.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
लग्नसंधिविहीनार्थसंध्यंशास्तेर्थभावजाः ॥परत्राप्येवमेवांशास्साध्याःसफलभावजाः ॥ २ ॥
The 2nd house's junction less the lagna's (rising sign's) junction gives the degrees of the 2nd house. Beyond that, find the degrees of every house the same way. Each house gives its results by them.
Simple meaning: House periods by junctions: each junction less the one before gives that house's degrees.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
सौरसावनतो वैषां विधायोक्तविधानतः ॥अयं दशाक्रमो यदा भवेद्भावक्रमाभिधः ॥ ३ ॥
Make these solar-civil by the method stated. This order of periods is then called the house order.
Simple meaning: House order: make the periods solar-civil. This is called the house order.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
तत्र लग्नैष्यभागोत्थदशाद्या कीर्तिता तनोः॥तदुक्तभावदिनजा रिःफान्ते स्यात्पुनस्तनोः ॥४॥
There, the first dasha (planet period) is said to be the lagna's (rising sign's), from its degrees still to run. Then come the periods from the stated house days. At the end of the 12th house, the 1st house comes again.
Simple meaning: House order: the 1st house's period starts the year, from its degrees left. After the 12th house, the 1st house comes again.

Here is an example. The lagna (rising sign) house is at 3;4;3;8. The 2nd house is at 4;1;19;4. Taken from the 3rd house, it gives 4;7;15;56. This is the lagna's dasha (planet period) in solar days. Next comes the 2nd house's period, in days and so on. Do the same everywhere.
Simple meaning: House periods, example: the 2nd house less the lagna gives the lagna's period in solar days.

Next, the degrees between the houses, 27;15;56, are multiplied by 300. Each place is carried up by sixty. This gives 81;79;40. Divided by the rising time of Cancer, 343, it gives 23;23;50;50. These are the days of the lagna's (rising sign's) tasira (a Tajika word for a planet's influence) period.
Simple meaning: House periods, other way, example: 27;15;56 times 300, divided by Cancer's rising time 343, gives about 23 days 50 ghatikas.

Do this everywhere. On the days from the year entry on, know the results of the lagna (rising sign) lord, the Moon. They may be good or bad. Do the same elsewhere too.
Simple meaning: House periods: on these days, judge by the lagna lord, here the Moon.

Next, the junction of the 12th house is 3;17;4;36. Taken from the lagna (rising sign) house, 3;4;3;8, it leaves 16;22;2. These are the lagna's degrees run. Next, take the lagna house, 3;4;3;8, from the lagna's junction, 3;17;4;16. This leaves 13;17;58, the lagna's degrees still to run. Next, take the lagna's junction, 3;17;4;16, from the 2nd house's junction, 4;14;57;2. This leaves 27;15;56. This is the 2nd house's dasha (planet period), in solar days and so on. It is the same as found before. Here, at the first year entry, the lagna's period equals the days of its degrees still to run. Then come the periods of the 2nd house and the rest. At the end of the 12th house's period, the lagna's period comes again. It equals the days of the lagna's degrees run.
Simple meaning: House periods by junctions, example: the lagna's degrees left start the year, the 2nd house follows, and the lagna's degrees run close the year.

Next, these dasha (planet period) days, 27;15;56, are multiplied by gomutrika (cross-wise multiplication) with the month's solar-civil days, 30;26;17;37. This gives 8;30;34;54;35. Divided by thirty, it gives 2741;9;59. These are the period's days in solar-civil days. Do the same everywhere.
Simple meaning: Solar-civil days, example: 27;15;56 times 30;26;17;37, divided by 30, gives the period in solar-civil days.

Next, at the month entry, divide the degrees between the houses by twelve. This gives the days of the house tasira (a Tajika word for a planet's influence) periods at the month entry. At the day entry too, divide the degrees between the houses by six. This gives the ghatikas (24-minute units) of the house tasira periods at the day entry. This is the special point.
Simple meaning: House periods in the month and day: degrees between houses divided by 12 give month days; divided by 6, day ghatikas.

Next, the rough house tasira (a Tajika word for a planet's influence) dasha (planet period), in the Tajikasara. Take the upper figure of a house and multiply it by five. Take away its parts by 130. This gives days and so on. These are the clear periods of the lagna (rising sign) and the other houses. The wise should know their results from the houses' own nature.
Simple meaning: Rough house periods: the house's sign number times five, less a small part, gives its days.

Example. The lagna (rising sign) is at 3;4;3;8. Here the upper figure is 3. Times five, it is 15. Take away its own 13th part, 1;9;14 in days and so on. This leaves 13;50;46. This is the lagna's dasha (planet period), in days and so on. Know the periods of all the houses in this way.
Simple meaning: Rough house periods, example: 3 times 5 is 15. Less its 13th part, it gives 13;50;46 days for the lagna.

These period days are rough, because the degrees and the rest are left out. Here, when a house's upper figure is zero, use twelve signs times five. This is the part left unsaid. Here the periods of all the houses always add up to three hundred and sixty.
Simple meaning: Rough house periods: they leave out the degrees. A zero sign counts as 12. All twelve add up to 360 days.

In the year, the house periods are stated in the Trailokyaprakasha. Multiply 4 days and 37 ghatikas (24-minute units) by the sign number of each house from the 1st. These are the periods, from the 1st house on, by its degrees. Of these, the period of a house in the 12th, 6th or 8th is not good in the year. So Dhishana said plainly.
Simple meaning: House periods, Trailokyaprakasha: 4 days 37 ghatikas times the house number. The periods of the 6th, 8th and 12th houses are not good.

Next, the kalahora (planet ruling the hour) dasha (planet period) in the year. And it is said in the Muktavali. Some say this: each planet's period in the year is a seventh of its days. They run in the order of the kalahora lords. Now I give the way to work it out.
Simple meaning: Kalahora periods: each planet gets one seventh of the year, in the order of the hour lords.

Take the ghatikas (24-minute units) passed since the weekday began. Double them and divide by five. This gives the kalahoras (planets ruling the hour) passed. Count from the day's lord, each time to the sixth. The one you reach is the current one.
Simple meaning: Kalahora at the year start: ghatikas since the weekday began, doubled and divided by five, give the hours passed.

Its period comes first. Then come the others, each the sixth from the one before, for all. The remainder after dividing by five is called the passed part. Five less that remainder is the part to come.
Simple meaning: Kalahora order: the current hour lord first, then every sixth planet. The remainder gives the parts passed and to come.

परा परेषान्तु यथास्थितास्स्युर्गतोन्मिता चेति दशा हि तस्य ॥गतैष्यमासान्तरतस्तु मासे यातैष्यघस्रान्तरतो दिनेपि ॥ ५ ॥
The others' periods stay as they are. And his period, equal to the passed part, [comes last]. In the month, use the gap between the passed and coming month entries. In the day, use the gap between the passed and coming day entries.
Simple meaning: Kalahora periods: the others keep their full share; the first lord comes back at the end. Month and day use their own spans.

अत्रोदाहरणम् ॥ तत्र श्रावणवदि नवर्म्यां शुक्रवासरे उदयाद्गतघटीपलेषु ५।३६ वर्षप्रवेशः । तत्र रविः ३।९।३६ दिनमानं ३३।३०
Here is an example. The year entry falls on the 9th tithi (moon day) of the dark half of Shravana, a Friday. It falls 5;36 after sunrise, in ghatikas (24-minute units) and palas (24-second units). There the Sun is at 3;9;36. The length of the day is 33;30.
Simple meaning: Kalahora example: the year starts on a Friday in Shravana, 5 ghatikas 36 palas after sunrise. The day is 33;30 long.

Here is an easy way, made by Mishra, to find the kalahora (planet ruling the hour) lord and the start of the weekday. Take the yojanas between your place and the meridian line. Count them as palas (24-second units), less their own quarter. For a place to the east, add them to 45 ghatikas (24-minute units). For a place to the west, take them away. Then add half the day. This gives the true start of the weekday.
Simple meaning: Start of the weekday: distance from the meridian, less a quarter, is added to 45 ghatikas, then half the day is added.

There, Kashi lies 64 yojanas (a measure of distance) east of the meridian town named Gargarata. Less their own quarter, 16, they make 48. These are the longitude palas (24-second units) at Kashi. Kashi is to the east, so these palas are added to 45 ghatikas (24-minute units). Kashi's dhruvanka (fixed multiplier) is 45;48. Add its half-day, 16;45, to get 62;33. Take away the 60 ghatikas of a day and night. The weekday starts 2 ghatikas 33 palas after sunrise.
Simple meaning: Weekday start at Kashi, example: 64 less 16 is 48 palas. 45;48 plus 16;45 less 60 gives 2;33 after sunrise.

Next, the weekday start, 2;33 ghatikas (24-minute units), is taken from the chosen time, 5;36. This leaves 3;3. These are the ghatikas since the weekday began. Doubled, they are 6;6. Divided by five, the kalahoras (planets ruling the hour) passed are 1. Count from the day lord, Venus, one by one. The second planet's kalahora is running in the year. Its period comes first. Then, each time to the sixth, come those of the Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun and Venus. In the solar year of 360 days, each gets a seventh part: 51;25;42;41;25 in days and so on. In the solar-civil year of 365;15;31;31;24, each gets a seventh part: 52;10;47;21;25. So each has one period in the year.
Simple meaning: Kalahora example: one hour has passed, so the second hour lord starts the year. Each lord gets a seventh of the year, about 51 or 52 days.
Verse 7.1 says a dasha is the time when good and bad results ripen. Verse 7.3 adds that it is the time in which a planet gives the results of the houses.
Verse 7.10 says Hillaja puts the stronger planet's period first. So the weaker planet still gets a period, after it.
Verse 7.295 says that at the month entry the periods are found from the star of that day, and at the day entry from the star of the lagna. These are called the mudda periods.
