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.

The share of the two stars gone, Ardra and Punarvasu, is 10. Added to this [1], it makes 11. This is the Sun's dasha (planet period) gone. Next, Pushya's ghatikas (24-minute units) still to come, 48, are multiplied by the star's share, 5. This gives 240. Divided by the whole star's ghatikas, 60, the result is 4. This is Pushya's share to come. Added to the share of the star to come, Ashlesha, 5, it makes 9. This is the Sun's dasha to come. So first comes the Sun's dasha to come, 9 days. Then the Moon's, 50. Mars's, 26-40. Mercury's, 56-40. Saturn's, 33-20. Jupiter's, 63-20. Rahu's, 40. Venus's, 70. Then again at the end comes the Sun's dasha for the days gone, 11. So it is to be known.
Simple meaning: Balarama's periods, example continued: 11 days of the Sun gone, 9 to come. The year runs Sun 9, then the others, and ends with Sun 11.
