Should the signs representing the Rasi and other Vargas (Hora, Drekkana, Saptamsa, etc.) occupied by the Karaka under consideration happen to be strong either by the association of, or aspect by, benefics, one may predict good results at the year signified by the number of years allotted to the lord of the respective sign representing the Varga according to the Udu dasa system, increased by 6. But if the sign happens to be either the debilitation or inimical house of the karaka planet, or be also occupied or aspected by a malefic planet, one has to divine only evil during the said years.
