O Brahmin! Now I will acquaint you with the special characteristics of the order of the Antardasas of the rasis. If the Dasa rasi be a moveable one, the Antardasas of the 12 rasis are in the onwards or reverse order. If the Dasa asraya rasi be a fixed one, the Antardasas will start from it and thereafter there will be Antardasa of every sixth rasi. If the Dasa asraya rasi be a dual one, the first Antardasa will belong to it. Thereafter there will be Antardasas of rasis in kendra to it, rasis in kendra to the 5th from it and rasis in kendra to the 9th from it in that order. In the case of all kinds of rasis, namely moveable, fixed or dual, the order will be onwards, if the Dasa asraya rasi be an odd one, and in the reverse order if it be an even one. The so called Dasa asraya rasi is known as Paka rasi. In the first order rasi which is Paka rasi is also called Bhoga rasi. Later if the Dasaprada rasi be even, then the Bhoga rasi will be that which is at the same rasi distance as the Dasa asraya rasi is from the Dasaprada rasi. For the Chara, Sthira and Trikona Dasa, the Paka and Bhoga should be determined in this manner. If Paka and Bhoga rasis be associated with malefics, there will be pain in the body and mental agony. There will be enjoyment if they be associated with benefics.

जो ग्रह अपने मित्र या अधिमित्र की राशि में हो या अपने अधिमित्रादि की उच्चराशि में हो तो उसकी दशा 'मध्यमा' कहलाती है । यह दशा भी ग्रह के बलाबलानुसार मध्यम फल तथा धन देती है ।
