Chapter 8 · Month Chart and Monthly Results
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ मद्गुरुचरणकृता दिनदशा लिख्यते ॥जन्मभाद्दिनभं गण्यं वेद ४ भतिथिवारयुक् ॥नवा ९ तं भू १ रसां ६ का ९ क्षि २ वेदा ४ ष्टा ८ द्वि ७ गुणे ३ षुभिः ५ ॥
Now the day dasha (planet period) made by my teacher is written. Count from the birth sign or star to the day's sign or star. Add 4 (veda), the sign or star, the tithi (moon day) and the weekday. Then 'nava' (9) and 'tam' stand. Then the numbers 1, 6, 9, 2, 4, 8, 7, 3 and 5 follow. (Our text is unclear here: what is done with nine and with these numbers is not said.)
Simple meaning: Day periods by the author's teacher: count from the birth star or sign to the day's, add 4, the tithi and the weekday, then use nine and a list of nine numbers.
शेषे सूर्यादिखेटानां दशा ज्ञेया दिनोद्भवा ॥
Day periods run from the Sun on: happiness in good planets' periods, sorrow in bad ones.
अथ विशेषफलम् ॥
Sun's day period: headache, loss of money, quarrel and useless travel. Moon: wealth and sweet food.
राजपूजा सुखं वस्त्रं भौमे दुःखं भयं व्ययम् गोधूमयवमुद्गादिभोजनं शशिनंदने ॥
Moon also: honour and clothing. Mars: sorrow, fear, expense. Mercury: meals of wheat, barley and mung.
