Hayanaratna · Chapter 7
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.

This is a special point. So ends this Gaurimata (Gauri's view, a system of nine-planet periods) dasha, called mudda.

Simple meaning: End of the mudda results: a planet's own sub-period gives its period's result. An unnamed half-line goes to the next planet. Mahadeva's periods give the same results.

त्र्यंगानि६३खाब्धयः४०पूर्णशैला७०स्तद्दिवसा मताः ॥वर्षप्रवेशनक्षत्राद्दशेयं रामसम्मता ॥२॥
... 63, 40 and 70. These are held to be their days. This dasha (planet period), agreed by Rama, starts from the nakshatra (star) of the year entry.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods, continued: the last days are 63, 40 and 70. Count from the star of the year entry.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
बलोदिता यस्य दशा ग्रहस्य याद्या दशास्याद्भवशाद्दिनाद्या॥चतुस्त्रिनक्षत्रपतेर्भजेतां स्वभप्रमित्येकक्रमस्य भुक्तिः ॥३॥
Balarama gives each planet a dasha (planet period) in days and parts. The first dasha comes from the star [of the year entry]. Each lord rules four or three nakshatras (stars). Divide its days by its own number of stars. That gives the share of each star in turn.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods: divide a planet's days by the number of stars it rules. That gives each star's share.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
यावर्तमानास्य तु भस्य भुक्तिः सा तद्भभक्तैष्यघटी विनिघ्ना॥भाज्याथ तद्भस्य गतैष्यनाडी योगेन लब्धो गतगम्यके ते ॥ ४ ॥
Take the share of the star now running. Multiply it by that star's ghatikas (24-minute units) gone, and again by those still to come. Divide each by the star's ghatikas gone and to come added together. The results are the part gone and the part to come.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods: split the running star's share by how much of the star has gone and how much is left.

युते विधेये गतगम्यभानां भुक्त्या दिनाद्ये गतगम्यके स्तः ॥प्राक्पाकनाथद्युचरस्य तस्य गम्यप्रमाणादिदशा दिनाद्या ॥ ५ ॥पराः परेषां द्युसदां यथा स्यात्प्रान्तेपुनर्जातमितादिमस्येति ॥६॥
Add these to the shares of the stars gone and to come. Then they become the gone and to-come parts, in days and parts. The planet whose period comes first has its first dasha (planet period) equal to the part to come. The other planets' dashas follow in turn. At the end, the first planet comes again, for the part gone.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods: the first lord's remaining part opens the year. The others follow. The first lord's gone part closes it.

उदाहरणम् ॥ वर्षप्रवेशे पुष्यनक्षत्रन्तेनादौ सूर्यदशा जाता दिनाद्या २०॥ अथेयं दशा चतुर्नक्षत्रेशा अतो दशादिनानि चतुर्भुक्तानि लब्धा ५ एकैकनक्षत्रस्य दिनाद्या भुक्तिः ॥ अथ पुष्यनक्षत्रस्य भुक्तघटीभि १२ र्भस्य भुक्ति ५ र्गुणिता ६० सर्वर्क्षघटी ६० भक्ता लब्धा पुष्यस्य गता भुक्तिर्दिनात्मिका १ ॥
An example. At the year entry the star is Pushya. So the Sun's dasha (planet period) comes first: 20 days. This dasha's lord rules four stars. So its days divided by four give 5. That is each star's share in days. Next, Pushya's ghatikas (24-minute units) gone, 12, are multiplied by the star's share, 5. This gives 60. Divided by the whole star's ghatikas, 60, the result is 1. This is Pushya's share gone, in days.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods, example: year entry in Pushya, Sun first with 20 days. Each star 5 days. 12 of 60 ghatis gone gives 1 day gone.
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.
