The natural characteristics of the house occupied by Rāhu are harmed at the commencement of the Daśā. If such house be 2nd, there will be loss of wealth. If the Moon and Venus be in the 12th there will be losses due to the displeasure of government. If Mars and Ketu be so disposed there will be death or danger from fire. There will be acquisition of kingdom if the Venus and Moon be in the 2nd at the commencement of the Daśā. This means that the effects (good or bad) of the house in which the Moon and Venus are posited at the commencement and end of Daśā are strengthened. Thus their disposition in the 6th, the 8th and the 12th will produce only adverse effects.

चन्द्रशुक्रौ द्वादशे चेत् राजकोपो भवेद्ध्रुवम् । भौमकेतु तत्र यदि वधोऽग्नेर्महती व्यथा ।
