ARGALĀ EFFECTS ON DAŚĀ-RĀŚI: Similarly the learneds have described the effects of the house with Argalā. If there be an auspicious Argalā-causing benefic or malefic planet of rāśi and the Ascendant be aspected by him, that rāśi will prevail. Here Ascendant is the secondary condition. If the planet causing uninterrupted Argalā aspects a rāśi, that rāśi will prevail — good effects will be derived in the Daśā of that rāśi. The Daśā of the rāśi which is not aspected by auspicious Argalā or of a rāśi with Viparīta Argalā will not be favourable. The Daśā of that rāśi which is aspected by a benefic will also be favourable.
