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
अथोक्तानान्दशाकदम्बानां विषयविभागो निरूप्यते ॥ ग्रन्थान्तरे ॥बली यदा हीनबलो ग्रहः स्यात्तदा तु हीनांशदशा विधेया ॥सर्वग्रहालोकनलब्धवीर्य्ये तनौ तसीराख्यदशा प्रदिष्टा ॥ १ ॥
Now the use of each of the dasha (planet period) systems given above is set out. In another text: when the planet with the least degrees is strong, use the hinamsha dasha (period by least degrees). When the lagna (rising sign) gains strength from the look of all planets, the tasira dasha (period by the planets' looks on the lagna) is taught.
Simple meaning: Which period system to use: least-degree planet strong, the least-degree system. Lagna seen by all planets, the tasira system.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
लग्नस्य सबलत्वे हि भावपूर्वा तु सा मता ॥कालहोरादशा कार्या सवीर्ये द्वे च तत्पतौ ॥ २ ॥
When the lagna (rising sign) is strong, that same [tasira dasha] is held, with 'bhava' (house) before its name. The kalahora (planet ruling the hour) dasha (planet period) should be used when the two are strong, and its lord too.
Simple meaning: Lagna strong: use the house tasira periods. Hour lord strong: use the hour-lord periods.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
हद्दाख्या वर्षलग्नस्य हद्देशे बलसंयुते ॥अब्दचंद्रबलोपेते कुर्यान्नैसर्गिकी दशा ॥ ३ ॥

दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः

When the lord of the Moon's sign is strong, the one named Balarama's is held. When the planets do not see the lagna (rising sign), then use the house dasha (planet period) from the lagna.
Simple meaning: Moon sign lord strong: use Balarama's periods. No planet sees the lagna: use house periods.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
तत्र वर्षे सर्वापेक्षया हीनांशग्रहस्य सबलत्वे तदाहीनांशदशा विधेया ॥१॥ सर्वग्रहैर्दृष्टे लग्ने तसीरदशा ॥ २ ॥ लग्नस्य सबलत्वे भावतसीरदशा ॥३॥
There, in the year, the planet with the least degrees of all may be strong. Then use the hinamsha dasha (period by least degrees).

Simple meaning: Choosing a period system (1-3): least-degree planet strong, lagna seen by all, or lagna strong.

At the time of the year entry, the kalahora (planet ruling the hour) lord may be strong. Then use the kalahora dasha (planet period).

In the year, the lord of the birth sign may be strong. Then use Gauri's dasha (planet period), named mudda (Gauri's yearly period system). (7) When the lord of the Moon's sign is strong in the year, use Balarama's dasha. (8) When all are equal in strength, make the tasira dasha (period by the planets' looks on the lagna), without weighing strength. (9) When no planet looks on the lagna (rising sign), make the house dasha. This is the point. (10)
Simple meaning: Choosing a period system (7-10): birth sign lord, Moon sign lord, equal strength, or no planet seeing the lagna.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अथ दशाफले विशेषः ॥ तत्र पूर्वम्पूर्णबलस्य रवेर्दशाफले गजाश्वलाभादिफलमुक्तम् ॥ पूर्णबलरविदशा तु सर्वेषां वर्षप्रवेशे कदापि न संभवतीति नियमो न दृश्यते ॥ परन्तु तेषां गजाश्वलाभादिकन्न दृश्यते तत्र किं कारणमिति चेदुच्यते ॥
Now a special point on the results of a dasha (planet period). Earlier, in the results of a full-strength Sun's dasha, gain of elephants, horses and the like was stated. No rule is seen that a full-strength Sun's dasha can never come at anyone's year entry. Yet such people are not seen to gain elephants, horses and the like. What is the reason? It is told:
Simple meaning: Full-strength Sun's period: why few people gain elephants and horses, though the rule promises it.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
जन्मनि जातकोक्तमार्गेण रविश्चेत्पूर्णबलो वर्षेपि पूर्णबलः शुभस्थानगश्च भवति तदा गजाश्वलाभादिकमवश्यं वर्षे वक्तव्यम् ॥ जन्महीने बले सूर्ये वर्षे पूर्णवीर्येपिगजाश्वादिलाभादिकं स्वप्ने वक्तव्यम् ॥
At birth the Sun may be at full strength, by the way taught in jataka (birth chart reading). In the year too it may be at full strength and in a good place. Then gain of elephants, horses and the like must be told for the year. If the Sun was weak at birth, it may be full in strength in the year. Even so, the gain of elephants, horses and the like should be told as coming in a dream.
Simple meaning: Sun's period results: the Sun strong at birth and in the year brings big gains. Weak at birth, the gains are seen only in dreams.

उक्तञ्चवराहेण॥परिणमति फलोक्तिस्स्वप्नचिंता स्ववीर्यैरिति ॥
And Varaha has said: the stated results ripen by the planets' own strength, [or else] as dream and thought.

दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
अथदशारिष्टमुक्तं हिल्लाजदीपिकायाम् ॥दशादौ दशेशस्त्रिराशीश्वरश्च यदा नष्टवीर्योभवेद्रिष्टमुक्तम् ॥विपक्षाष्टमस्थोथवा क्रूरदृष्टयुतस्स्यादरिष्टं तदा पाककाले ॥
Now harm in a dasha (planet period), as told in the Hillajadipika. At the start of a dasha, the period lord and the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) may have lost strength. Then arishta (harm in the year) is told. Or [the period lord] may stand in the 6th or 8th. Or it may be seen by or joined with bad planets. Then there is arishta in that period.
Simple meaning: Harm in a period: period lord and four-sign group lord weak at the start, or in the 6th or 8th, or with bad planets.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
त्रिराशीश्वरश्चंद्रपाकेश्वरौ तु रिपुच्छिद्ररिःफेषु संख्यावरिष्टम्॥त्रिराशीशपाकेश्वरौ शीतरश्मेर्यदा वा तदा देशनीयन्त्वरिष्टम् ॥
The trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group), the Moon and the period lord may be placed in the 6th, 8th or 12th. That is arishta (harm in the year). Or the trirashipa and the period lord may be [there] counted from the Moon. Then too arishta should be told.
Simple meaning: Harm in a period: four-sign group lord, Moon and period lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th, or these lords so placed from the Moon.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः

Simple meaning: Harm in a period: four-sign group lord in the 22nd third-part from the lagna, the Moon or the period lord.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
जन्मलग्नाद्दशावेशःषष्ठाष्टेङ्गे दशेश्वरात्॥छिद्रांशस्थोथवा रिष्टं करोति रिपुराशिगः॥
Counted from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth), the period lord may be in the 6th or 8th, or in the 1st. Or, counted from the period lord, [it] may stand in the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the 8th. Or it may be in an enemy's sign. Then it brings arishta (harm in the year).
Simple meaning: Harm in a period: period lord in the 6th, 8th or 1st from the birth lagna, or badly placed from the period lord, or in an enemy's sign.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
छिद्रात्रैराशिपः शोध्यः स शनिर्मृत्युसञ्ज्ञकम्॥तत्काले वीर्यसंयुक्तमरिष्टं जायते ध्रुवम्॥
Take the 8th house and subtract the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) from it. With Saturn, that [point] is named mrityu (death). At that time, a strong arishta (harm in the year) surely arises.
Simple meaning: Harm in a period: a point from the 8th house, the four-sign group lord and Saturn. When it is active, harm comes.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
तत्काले वीर्य्यहीनश्च विलग्नाधिपतिर्यदा॥व्ययारिच्छिद्रगश्चेत्स्यात्तदा रिष्टं प्रजायते॥
At that time the lord of the lagna (rising sign) may lack strength. If it is in the 12th, 6th or 8th, then arishta (harm in the year) arises.
Simple meaning: Harm in a period: the lagna lord weak and in the 12th, 6th or 8th.
दशानयनाधिकाराध्यायः
दशाधिपो वीर्य्ययुतः प्रवेशे त्रैराशिकेशोपि युतः शुभैश्च॥दृष्टिस्त्रिकोणोपचयस्थितश्चेत्तदाशु रिष्टं विलयम्प्रयाति॥
At the year entry the period lord may have strength. The trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) too may be joined with good planets and have their drishti (a planet's look). If it stands in a trikona (luck house) or an upachaya (growth house), the arishta (harm in the year) soon goes away.
Simple meaning: Harm removed: period lord strong at the year entry, and the four-sign group lord with good planets in the 5th, 9th or a growth house.
Thus ends the chapter on finding the dasha (planet period), in the Hayanaratna made by Shri Balabhadra.
Simple meaning: End of the chapter on the year's planet periods.
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.
