YOGINĪ DAŚĀ: The Sage said — O Brahmin! I have already given you the description of Pañcasvara Daśā. Now I will acquaint you with the Yoginī Daśā as described by Lord Mahādeva. There are 8 Yoginīs namely 1. Maṅgalā, 2. Piṅgalā, 3. Dhānyā, 4. Bhrāmarī, 5. Bhadrikā, 6. Ulkā, 7. Siddhā and 8. Saṅkaṭā. The Moon, the Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus and Rāhu are born from Maṅgalā, Piṅgalā, Dhānyā, Bhrāmarī, Bhadrikā, Ulkā, Siddhā and Saṅkaṭā in that order. Add 3 to the Janma nakshatra and divide it by 8. The remainder 1 etc. will indicate the Yoginī Daśā of Maṅgalā etc. The Daśās of Maṅgalā, Piṅgalā, Dhānyā, Bhrāmarī, Bhadrikā, Ulkā, Siddhā and Saṅkaṭā are of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 years respectively, totaling 36 years. The balance of Daśā at birth should be worked out from the Bhayāt and Bhabhog etc. as already explained earlier.

मङ्गला, पिङ्गला, धन्या, भ्रामरी, भद्रिका, उल्का, सिद्धा और संकटा — ये आठ योगिनियाँ हैं।
