48. DASA SYSTEMS

सर्वज्ञोऽसि मर्हर्षे ! त्वं कृपया दीनवत्सल !।
दशाः कतिविधाः सन्ति ! तन्मे कथय तत्त्वतः ॥ १ ॥

1: Maitreya said, O Supreme Sage! You are ominiscient and have infinite knowledge. Kindly be merciful and enlighten me, in detail, about the prevalent “Planetary Dasas”(Periods).

साधु पृष्टं स्वया विप्र ! लोकानुग्रहकारिणा ।
कथयामि तवाग्रेऽहं दशाभेदाननेकशः ॥ २ ॥

2-5: Maharishi Parasara said, O Brahmin! You have asked a most appropriate question which will benefit one and all. I now unfold the secret of the prevailing Dasa systems.

There are various types of Dasas in vogue but for a common man, Vimshottari (विंशोत्तरी) Dasa is the predominant one. Some have mentioned particularly Astottari (अष्ठोत्तरी) and Shodsottari (षोडशोत्तरी) Dasas. O Brahmin! Ancients have also referred to Dwadasottari (द्वादशोत्तरी), Panchottari (पंचोत्तरी), Shatabdika (शताब्दिका) Dasas and in the same category there are also Chaturashiti-Sama (चितुरशीति समा), Dwisaptati-Sama (द्विसप्तत्ति समा), Shashtihayani (षष्टिहायनी), Shattrishanta-Sama (षिटत्रिंगतप्तमा) Dasas. All these Dasas are based on Nakshatras.

अथा कालदशा चक्रदशा प्रोक्ता मुनीश्वरैः ।
कालचक्रदशा चाऽन्या मान्या सर्वदशासु या ॥ ६ ॥

दशाऽथ चरपर्याया स्थिराख्या च दशा द्विज ! ।

अष्टवर्गदशा सन्ध्या-दशा पाचकसंज्ञिका ।
अन्यास्तारादशाद्याश्च न सर्वाः सर्वसम्मताः ॥ ११ ॥

6-11: The Rishis have also made mention of Kala (काल) arid Chakara (चक्र)Dasas. But amongst the remaining Dasas, Kala Dasa has the greatest recognition. O Brahmin! Besides these Dasas, some have said about Chara, Sthir, Kendra, Karaka and Brahmagraha (ब्रह्मग्रह) Dasas. O Vipra! apart from these, Mandooki (माण्डूकी), Shoola (भूल), Yogardha (योगार्ध), Driga (दृग) followed by Trikona (त्रिकोण) and Rashi (राशी) Dasas are also there.

O Brahmin! Panchswara Dasa, Yogini Dasa, Pinda Dasa, Amsa Dasa, Naisargie Dasa, Ashtavarga Dasa, Sandhya Dasa, Pachaka Dasa and other Tara Dasa and the like are the different form of Dasas. However, out of these various Dasa forms, all are not acceptable by common consensus.

In some editions, Anshaja Dasa has not been mentioned but the word (तथांशी) figured in the 10th Shicka, gives aclear indication of this Dasa. As such Anshaja Dasa also needs to be considered.

In the foregoing stanzas, Maharishi Parasara has described about 32 types of Dasas. For the convenience and quick recapitulation of the esteemed readers, these Dasas are tabulated as per Table-1.

कृत्तिकातः समारभ्य त्रिरावृत्य दशाधिपाः ।
आ-चं-कु-रा-गु-श-बु.के-शुपूर्वा विहगाः क्रमात्‌ ॥ १२ ॥

वहिभाज्जन्मभं यावद्‌ या संख्या नवततष्टिता ।
शेषाद्दशाधिपो ज्ञेयस्तमारभ्य दशां नयेत्‌ ॥ १३ ॥

विंशोत्तरशतं पूर्णमायु: पूर्वमुदाहृतम्‌ ।
कलौ विंशोत्तरी तस्माद्‌ दशा मुख्या द्विजोत्तम ! ॥ १४ ॥

12-14: Commencing from Kritika, the Dasa lords in succession would be Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus; in the three cycles of Nakshatras. The number of Nakshatras between Kritika and the birth Nakshatra be divided

by 9. The remainder will indicate the Dasa lord if counted from the Sun. (Let us suppose the remainder being 5, then the Dasa lord will be Jupiter at the time of birth. The subsequent Dasas will be in the same order i.e. after Jupiter comes the Dasa of Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and so on)

O Brahmin! The full span of life of man in ‘Kalayuga’ is said to be 120 years (Purna Ayu). Therefore, amongst the various Dasas, Vimshottari Dasa is the prime Dasa system.

दशासमाः क्रमादेषां षड्‌ दशाऽश्वा गजेन्दवः ।
नृपाला नवचन्द्राश्च नगचन्द्रा नंगा नखाः ॥ १५ ॥

15: The number of years assigned to each planet (lord of the Dasa) the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus are 6, 10, 7, 18, 16, 19, 17, 7, 20 respectively. The Dasa at the time is determined from the Nakshatra in which Moon is in transit at the time of birth which is called birth (Janma) Nakshatra.

दशामानं भयातघ्नं भभोगेन हृतं फलम्‌ ।
दशाया भुक्तवर्षाद्य भोग्यं मानाद्‌ विशोधितम्‌ ॥ १६ ॥

16 : Multiply the Dasa years of the planet, in whose Dasa the birth takes place by Bhayaata [The expired (elapsed) period ot the Nakshatra] and divide it by Bhabhoga [The full period to be traversed by the Nakshatra]. The resultant value will represent the period consumed in the Dasa of the planet till the time of birth. By deducting this figure from the full duration of the Dasa of the planet, the balance Dasa of the said planet is arrived at. (For terms Bhagyaata and Bhabhoga please refer to page 65 of volume 1).

लग्नेशात्‌ केन्द्रकोणस्थे राहौ लग्नं विना स्थिते ।

एवं स्वजन्मभं यावद्‌ विगणय्य यथाक्रमम्‌ ॥ १८ ॥

सूर्यश्चन्द्रः कुजः सौम्यः शनिर्जीवस्तमो भृगुः ।

रसा: पञ्चेन्दवो नागाः सप्तचन्द्राश्च खेंन्दवः ।
गोऽब्जाः सूर्याः कुनेत्राश्च रव्यादीनां दशासमाः ॥ २० ॥

17-20: Maharishi Parasara said, O Brahmin! If Rahu excepting in the Ascendant (Lagna) is posited in an Angle (Kendra) or a Trine (Trikona) from the lord of Ascendant (Lagna lord), some learneds adopt Astottari Dasa system.

The Astottari Dasa commences with the Sun Dasa covering four Nakshatras with Aridra being the first one. Three Nakshatras thereafter are assigned to the Moon. Next four go to Mars followed by three Nakshatras for Mercury Dasa. Again, next four Nakshatras are entrusted to Saturn Dasa which is succeeded by Jupiter Dasa with subsequent three Nakshatras. Rahu Dasa comes next with four and last is the Dasa of Venus with three left over Nakshatras. (These planets are the lord of the Nakshatras which are under their fold). The ruling Dasa lord is determined through counting in the above order upto the birth Nakshatra.

O Brahmin! Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Venus are the Dasa lords. Excepting Ketu, all the other planets are covered in this system. The Dasa period starting from the Sun is 6, 15, 8, 17, 10, 19, 12 and 21 years respectively.

दशाब्दांघ्रिश्च पापानां शुभानां त्रयंश एव हि ।
एकैकभे दशामानं विज्ञेयं द्विजसत्तम ॥ २१ ॥

ततस्तद्यातभोगाभ्यां भुक्तं भोग्यं च साधयेत्‌ ।
विंशोत्तरीवदेवात्र ततस्तत्फलमादिशेत्‌ ॥ २२ ॥

21-22 : O Brahmin! "In the event of maletic planets, the span (period) of each Nakshatra is 1/4th of the prescribed period of the planet while in the case of benefic planets, each Nakshatra's spanis to the extent of 1/3rd period of the planet. The expired period of the birth Nakshatra is ascertained in the same manner as in Vimsottari Dasa system, that is the period traversed by the birth Nakshatra in Astottari Dasa be multiplied by Bhayaata and divided by Bhabhoga of the Nakshatra. The Dasa balance is also arrived at in the same fashion”.

कृष्णपक्षे दिवा जन्म शुक्लपक्षे तथा निशि ।
तदा ह्यष्टोत्तरी चिन्त्या फलार्थल्च विशेषतः ॥ २३ ॥

23 : O Brahamin! “If the birth is in the day time during Krishna Paksha or in the night in Shukla Paksha and in order to ascertain specific results, Astottari Dasa be adopted”.

चन्द्रहोरागते कृष्णे सूर्यहोरागते सिते ।
लग्ने नृणां फलज्ञप्त्यै विचिन्त्या षोडशोत्तरी ॥ २४ ॥

पुष्यभाज्जन्मभं यावद्‌ या संख्या गजतष्टिता ।

इति क्रमाद्‌ दशाधीशाः ज्ञेया राहुं विना ग्रहाः ।
रुद्राद्ये कोत्तरा: संख्या धृत्यन्तं वत्सराः क्रमात्‌ ॥ २६ ॥

24-26 : If Ascendant (Lagna) is in the Hora of the Moon in Krishna Paksha (waning Moon) or in the Sun’s Hora during Shukla Paksha (waxing Moon), Shodsottari Dasa be adopted for Prognoslication. Count the number of Nakshatras from Pushyami tothe birth Nakshatra and divide it by 8. The remainder will point out the Dasa of the planet barring Rahu, if counted in the order of the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Ketu, Moon, Mercury and Venus. The Dasa years are from 11 to 18 years with an accretion by one year for each planet in seriatim (i.e., Sun 11, Mars 12, Jupiter 13, Saturn 14, Ketu 15, Moon 16, Mercury 17 and Venus 18 Years).

शुक्रांशके प्रजातस्य विचिन्त्या द्वादशोत्तरी ।

सूर्यो गुरुः शिखी ज्ञोऽगुः कुजो मन्दो निशाकरः ।
विना शुक्रं दशाधीशा द्विचयात्‌ सप्ततः समाः ॥ २८ ॥

27-28 : Dwadashottari Dasa be pursued for those natives whose Ascendant falls in the Navamsa of Venus. Number of the Nakshatras from the birth Nakshatra to Revati Nakashatra be reckoned and divided by eight. The remainder will indicate the planet as the lord of Dasa by serially counting from the Sun, Jupiter, Ketu, Mercury, Rahu, Mars, Saturn and the Moon having period 6, 7,9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 years respectively (An addition of 2 years in the successive Dasas). The Dasa of Venus is not in this scheme.

निजार्काशगते कर्कलग्ने पञ्चोत्तरी मता ।
मित्रर्क्षाज्जन्मभं यावत्‌ संख्या सप्तविभाजिता ॥ २९ ॥

एकादिशेषे विज्ञेयाः क्रमात्सप्तदशाधिपाः ।
रविर्ज्ञोऽर्कसुतो भौमः शुक्रश्चन्द्रो वृहस्पतिः ॥ ३० ॥

एकोत्तराच्च विज्ञेया द्वादशाद्याः क्रमात्समाः ।
धृत्यन्ताः सप्तखेटानां राहु-केतू विना द्विज ! ॥ ३१ ॥

29-31 : When a native is born in the Cancer Ascendant (Lagna) and also having Cancer Dwadashamsa (1/12th Division), Panchattori Dasa be adopted. Divide the number of Nakshatras arrived at by counting from Anuradha to the birth Nakshatra by 7 digit and the remainder will indicate the planet of the ruling Dasa in the order of Sun, Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Moon and Jupiter having Dasa (years) of 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 years respectively. O Brahmin! In this Dasa system there are seven planets, leaving aside Rahu and Ketu.

वर्गोत्तमगते लग्ने दशा चिन्त्या शताब्दिका ।
पौष्णभाज्जन्मपर्यन्तं गणयेत्‌ सप्तभिर्भजेत्‌ ॥ ३२ ॥

शेषांके रवितो ज्ञेया दशा शतसमाहुया ।

क्रमादेते दशाधीशा बाणा बाणा दिशो दश ।
नखा नखाः खरामाश्च समाज्ञेया द्विजोत्तम ! ॥
३४ ॥

32-34 : in the event of Ascendent (Lagna) being Vargottama (वर्गोत्तम) i.e. having the some Ascendent in Navamsa (1/9th Division), the Shatabdika Dasa system will be suitable for prognostication. Count the number of Nakshatras from Revati to the birth Nakshatra and divide it by 7. The remainder will indicate the Dasa lord in the order of the Sun Moon, Venus Mercury, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn. The period of these Dasa lords are 5, 5, 10, 10, 20, 20 and 30 years respectively.

कर्मेशे कर्मगे ज्ञेया चतुराशीतिका दशा ।
पवनाज्जन्मभं यावद्‌ या संख्या सप्तभाजिता ॥ ३५ ॥

शेषे रवीन्दु-भौम-ज्ञा गुरु-शुक्र-शनैश्चराः ।
दशाधीशाः क्रमादेषां ज्ञेया द्वादशवत्सराः ॥ ३६ ॥

35-36 : At the time of birth, if the 10th house is occupied by the 10th lord, Chaturashiti-Sama Dasa system will be useful. Number from Svati to the birth Nakshatra be counted and the figure is divided by 7. The remainder will indicate the Dasa order reckoned from the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn in that order. Each planet has an identical Dasa of 12 years.

मूलाज्जन्मर्क्षपर्यन्तं गणयेदष्टभिर्भजेत्‌ ।
शेषाद्दशाधिपा ज्ञेया अष्टी रव्यादयः क्रमात्‌ ॥ ३७ ॥

चिन्तनीया दशा तस्य द्विसप्ततिसमाह्यया ।
विंशोत्तरीवदत्राऽपि भुक्तं भोग्यं च साधयेत्‌ ॥ ३९ ॥

37-39 : In Dwisaptati-Sama Dasa system, counting is done from the Moola to the birth Nakshatra. The figure is divided by 8 and the remainder points out the planet-Dasa lord in that order starting from the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Rahu (Ketu is ignored). All the eight Dasas are of 9 years duration. Bhayaata and Bhaboga are considered in the same manner as in the Vimsottari Dasa system. This Dasa be gainfully applied in those cases where either the 7th lordis in the Ascendant or the Ascendant is posited in the 7th house.

यदार्को लागनराशिस्थश्चिन्तया षष्टिसमा तदा ।
दास्रात्‌ त्रयं चतुष्कं च त्रयं चेति पुनः पुनः ॥ ४० ॥

गुर्वर्कभूसुतानां च दशा दश दशाब्दकाः ।
ततः शशिज्ञशुक्रार्कपुत्रागूनां रसाब्दकाः ॥ ४१ ॥

40-41: If the sun is located in the Ascendant Shasti Hayani Dasa will be most suitable for such natives. Commencing from Aswini Nakshatra, a cluster of 3 and 4 Nakshatras, taken alternatively would represent the Dasa lord in the order of Jupiter, the Sun, Mars, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Rahu. First three Dasas of the planets would each be of 10 years duration and the last five Dasas would have 6 years each.

श्रवणाज्जन्मभं यावत्‌ संख्या वसुविभाजिता ।
शेषे चन्द्र-रवीज्यार-बुधा-किं-भृगु-राहवः ॥ ४२ ॥

क्रमाद्दशाधिपास्तेषामेकाद्ये कोत्तराः समा ।
लग्ने दिनेऽर्कहोरायां चन्द्रहोरागते निशि ॥ ४३ ॥

42-43: In the event of the birth being in the day time and also the Ascendant being in the Sun's Hora or in the night birth and Ascendant happened to be in the Hora of the Moon, Shat-Trimsha Sama Dasa be adopted. Count the number of Nakshatras from Shravana the birth Nakshatra and have it divided by digit 8. The remainder number would indicate the Dasa lord in seriatim Commencing from the Moon, the Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus and Rahu. The period of the Dasa would be in the natural order i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 years respectively.

एकादि-संख्यया निघ्नं दशामानं पृथक्‌ क्रमात्‌ ।
राहुकेतुयुतानां च नवानां कालसंज्ञकम्‌ ॥ ४९ ॥

44-49 : The periods of 5 Ghatis (2 hrs.) astride the setting of the semi-disc of the sun and like wise, 5 Ghatis (2 hrs.) proceding and 5 Ghatis (2 hrs.) succeeding the Sun risei.e. aspanof 10 Ghatis (4 hrs.) each is termed as the twilight period (Sandhya) of evening and morning respectively. As such both these Sandhyas are constituted of 20 Ghatis (8 hrs.) the 20 Ghatis period (4 hrs.) of the day (i.e. the gap between morning and evening Sandhyas) is called POORNA (पूर्णा) and similarly, 20 Ghatis (8 hrs.) of the night is named as MUGDHA (मुग्धा). 10 Ghatis Sandhya of the sunrise and 10 Ghatis Sandhya of the sun set are called KHANDA (खण्ड) and SUDHA (सुधा) respectively.

lf the birth occurs in Poorna or Mugdha, multiply the period (Ghatis) consumed at birth in the said portion by 2 and divide it by 15. The product be expressed in years, months etc. and reckoned as a constant factor. Multiply this factor by 1 to 9 in natural order, the Kala Dasa of the corresponding planet starting from Sun to Rahu, again in normal planelary order is achieved. In case the birth is in the span of Khanda or Sudha, the expired period upto the birth be multiplied by 4 and then divided by 15. This product also be used as aconstant factor in calculating the Kala Dasa of the planets in the same manner.

(i)**Khanda (खण्डा) :** Day and night consist of 60 Ghatis (24 hrs). The period of 10 Ghatis i.e. 5 Ghatis (2 hrs.) prior and 5 Ghatis (2 hrs.) later to the Sun rise is called morning twilight (Sandhya). The Sandhya of the morning is called Khanda.

(ii)**Sudha (सुधा) :** In the identical fashion 10 Ghatis of the evening i.e. 5 Ghatis (2 hrs.) astride sun set time constitute the evening twilight (Sandhya).

(iii)**Poorna (पूर्णा) :**The period of 20 Ghatis (8 hrs.) between both the Sandhyas i.e. Khanda 10 Sudha is known by the name Poorna.

(iv)**Mugdha (मुग्धा) :** Similarly, the 20 Ghatis (8 hrs.) portion from Sudha to Khanda is termed as Mugdha.

The readers must have noticed from the text that the only intricacy in calculating the Kala Dasa is to first identify the segment (amongst the four above segments) in which the birth has taken place and then to figure out as to how much time has elapsed from the beginning of the said segment and the birth time.

The rest of the calculations and pin-pointing the ruling Dasa at the time of the birth is a simple affair. However, the principles set out for this purpose are reiterated as under :-

(i)It a native is born in the period between Poorna or Mugdha, it is first of all necessary to know as to how much time has been passed (in terms of Ghatis or hrs./minutes) in Poorna or Mugdha upto the birth. The said time be multipied by 2 and then divided by 15, The resultant value shall be multiplied by the numbers assigned to the planet (Sun-1; Moon-2; Mars-3; Mercury-4; Jupiter-5, Venus-6; Saturn-7; Rahu-8 and Ketu-9) to arrive at the Dasa of the respective planet.

(ii)The procedure for calculating Dasas of the planet if the birth is in the duration of Knanda or Sudha, except the elapsed period upto birth is multiplied by 4 instead of 2 and then divided by 15, rest ofthe steps remain unchanged.

(iii)It may also be understood that if the birthis on Sunday, the first Dasa will that be of the Sun and if Monday, the Dasa cycle will start from the Moon and so on. Since Dasa of Rahu and Ketu are also in the scheme, their Dasas will figure at 8th and 9th portion,

Example - 6:

Suppose the birth is at 2 Gh. 25 Pal. after the sunrise on Monday. Since it s less then 5 Gh., the birth is reckoned in ‘Khanda’(Sandhya). In order to find out the time elapsed from the commencement of Khanda, 5 Gh. (period prior to the sunrise) be added which comes to 7 Gh., 25 Pal.- period and since has been passed in Kanda segment.

Calculations :

7 Gh. - 25 Pal = 7.416 Gh. × 4 = 29.66 [25 +100/66]

29.66 + 15 = 1.977 = 1 yr. + 0.977

0.977 × 12 = 11.724 = 11 months + 0.724

0.724 × 30 = 21.72 = 22 days (Day)

= 1 yr, 11 months, 22 days call it factor "A" =

= Sun Dasa = A × 1 = 1 yr. months 22 days

= Moon Dasa = A × 2 = 3 yrs. 11 months 14 days

= Mars Dasa = A × 3 = 5 yrs. 11 months 6 days

Likewise, the Dasas of the other planets could be worked out. Since the birth being on Monday, the first Dasa would be of the Moon.

The method of calculating Kala Dasa enunciated in the similar books published by M/s. Khemchand Shrikrishan Das Publications (Bombay) and Thakur Prashad & Sons Booksellers (Varanasi) is at variance. According to them, if the native is born in Poorna segment, the elapsed period in Poorna [time from sunrise to birth-5 Gh.] shall be multiplied by 6 instead of 2. Similar treatment de given in the event of the birth being in part of Mugdha. Similarly, for Khanda and Sudha segments the elapsed period in their respective portions is to be multiplied by 12 rather by 4.

Further, the product in respect of all the above cases need to be divided by 45 (against 15). The resulting figure should be taken as a constant factor (Dhruanka). The procedure for calculating individual planetary Dasa remained the same i.e. the factor is to be multiplied by the serial number 1,2,3........... 8, 9 to ascertain the Dasas order of Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Ketu respectively as illustrated in example-6.

Here the common feature is that the multiplieres are three times in both the cases and so is the division. Since multiplier and divisor are enhanced by the same denomination, the net result will remain the same. However, the reason for such divergent opinions could not possibly by figured out through any classical works known to this humble author.

रात्रौ लग्नाश्रिताद्राशेर्दिने लग्नेश्वराश्रितात्‌ ।

दशा वर्षाणि राशीनामेकैकस्य दशामितिः ।
क्रमाच्चक्रस्थितानाञ्च विज्ञातव्या द्विजोत्तम ॥ ५१ ॥

50-51 : In the event of birth taking place in the night, the Dasa will originate from the sign of the Ascendant (Lagna Rasi). If the birth happened to be in the day, the Dasa will start from the sign which tenants the lord of the Ascendant (Lagna Lord). When the birth occurs in the period of twilight (Sandhya), the sign of the second house will initiate the Dasa. Each Dasa of the sign is of 10 years duration. Since the pattern of these Dasas is compatible with the twelve zodiacal signs, it is appropriately called as Chakra Dasa system.

52-53: Maharishi Parasara asserted - O Vipra! Prostrating before Lord Shiva, I now perorate Kalachakra Dasa, as it was narrated to Goddess Parvati by Lord Shiva in the ancient time, for the savants to enable them to give righteous interpretations to the populace.

द्वादशारं लिखेच्चक्रं तिर्यगूर्ध्वसमानकम्‌ ।

द्वितीयादिषु कोष्ठेषु राशीन्‌ मेषादिकान् लिखेत्‌ ।
एवं द्वादशराश्याख्यं कालचक्रमुदीरितम्‌ ॥ ५५ ॥

54-55: Outline two charts of twelve compartments each by drawing vertical and horizontal lines for Savya (clockwise) and Apsavya (anti-clockwise). Affix sign Aries in the second compartment of each chart. This is called Dwadash-Rashiatmaka Kalachakra.

अश्विन्यादित्रयं सव्यमार्गे चक्रे व्ययस्थितम्‌ ।

56-58: A group of first three Nakshatras viz., Aswini, Bharani and Kritika be placed in Savya Chakra (Chart) and the next group of these Nakshatras starting from Rohini in the Apsavya Chakra (Charts). Similarly, the next three nakshatras will go to the Savya Chakra followed by anotherthree Nakshatras in the Apsavya Chakra, and soon, With this pattern of distribution of the Nakshatras, the Savya Chakra will house 15 and the Apsavya Chakra 12 Nakshatras. The four quarters (Padas) of Aswini, Punarvasu, Hasta, Moola, Poorva Bhadra; Kritika, Ashelsha Swati, Uttara Bhadra and Revatibe identifiedin the same fashion as of 4 quarters (Padas) of Aswini Nakshatras.

Description of DEHA (Body), JEEVA (Life) etc.

देहजीवौ कथं वीक्ष्यौ नक्षत्राणां पदेषु च ।
विशदं तत्प्रकारं च मैत्रेय ! कथयाम्यहम्‌ ॥ ५९ ॥

59: O Maitreya: now I enumerate how the quarters (Padas of the Nakshatras are made compatiable with Deha (body) and Jeeva (life).

78-81: In the first quarter (Pada) of Mrigshira Nakshatra Cancer is assigned to Deha and Pisces as Jeeva. The lord of the signs from Pisces sign to Cancer sign in the anticlockwise are the lords of the Dasas (Cancer and Pisces are Deha and Jeeva respectively in the 1st quarter of Mrigshira, counting the signs from Pisces in the reverse order i.e. Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Virgo, Leo and Cancer and the lords of these nine signs are nominated as the Dasa lords in seriatim).

Taurus represents Deha and Gemini Jeeva in the second quarter of the Mrigshira Nakshatra and the Dasa lords are the lords of the signs 3, 2, 1, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1 and 12 in that order.

TABLE-15

SIGN-DASA YEARS AND DASAS’ LORDS

नरस्य जन्मकाले वा प्रश्नकाले यदंशकः ।
तदादि-नवराशीनामब्दास्तस्यायु रुच्यते ॥ ८५ ॥

सम्पूर्णायुर्भवे दादावर्धमंशस्य मध्यके ।
अंशान्ते परमं कष्टमित्याहुरपरे बुधाः ॥ ८६ ॥

85-86: The life span of a native or a querist, is reckoned from the quarter (Pada) of the Nakshatra effective at birth time or atthe time the query is raised. Whatever number of years ascribed tothe signs (representing the said quarter) happened tobe the lite span ofthe individual. Many Astrological scholars opined that if the birth is in the first part (beginning) of the quarter, the native is bestowed fullife span (पूर्णायू) and ifin the middle of the quarter, the person wil! have half the span of his life. Ifthe birth is at the tag end of the quanter, the native may undergo deathlike sufferings.

ज्ञात्वैवं स्फुटसिद्धान्तं राश्यंशं गणयेद्‌ बुधः ।
अनुपातेन वक्ष्यामि तदुपायमतः परम्‌ ॥ ८७ ॥

गततारास्त्रिभिर्भक्ताः शेषं चैव चतुर्गुणम्‌ ।
वर्तमानपदेनाढयं राशीनामंशको भवेत्‌ ॥ ८८ ॥

87-88: The learneds may make themselves acquainted with the terms quarter (Pada) of the Nakshatras through these fundamentals. Now I describe the method of apportioning the quarters of the Nakshatras. Divide the number of Nakshatras Passed from Aswini by three. Ignoring the quotient, multiply the remainder by four and there after add the number of the quarters (Padas) of the operating Nakshatra. The resultant figure will indicate the Navamsa sign on counting it from the Aries sign,

मेषे शतं वृषेऽक्षाष्टौ मिधुने त्रिगजाः समाः ।
कर्कटेंऽगजाः प्रोक्तास्तावन्तस्तत्‌-त्रिकोणयोः ॥ ८९ ॥

89 : In the Kalachakra Dasa, the full life span (Poornayu) for the Aries-Amsa will be of 100 years, Taurus-Amsa 85, Gemini- Amsa 83 and Cancer-Amsa 86 years, The 5th and 9th signs from these signs will also have the same number of years.

जनो यत्रांशके जातो गतानाडीपलादिभिः ।
तदंशस्य हताः स्वाब्दाः पञ्चभूमिविभाजिता: ॥ ९० ॥

एवं महादशारम्भो भवेदंशाद्यथा क्रमात् ।
गणयेन्नवपर्यन्तं तत्त्दायुः प्रकीर्तितम्‌ ॥ ९१ ॥

90-91: The elapsed period (in Gh, and Pal.) of the quarter (Pada) of the birth Nakshatra be multiplied by the Dasa period and then divided by 15. The resultant value represents the expired Period. After substracting if from the total number of years, the balance Dasa period is arrived at. Mahadasas be calculated commencing from this balance of Dasa period.

पदस्य भुक्तघट्याद्यैः स्वाब्दमानं हतं ततः ।
भभोगांध्रिहृतं भुक्तं, भोग्यं मानाद्‌ विशोधितम्‌ ॥ ९२ ॥

92:The consumed Ghatis and Palasof the current Nakshatra quarter (Pada) be multiplied by the total number of years of the said quarter (Pada) and the resultant value is divided by the 1/4th part of the Bhabhoga and this net product is deducted from the Dasa period and the Dasa balance could be obtained at birth.

Alternative method:

चन्द्राङकाशकला भुक्ताः स्वाब्दमानहताः हृताः ।
द्विशत्या भुक्तवर्षाद्यं ज्ञेयं भोग्यं ततो बुधैः ॥ ९३ ॥

93: The expired portion ofthe Moon's Navamsa be mu itiplied by the value (in terms of years) of the running quarter (Pada) of the Nakshatra and divide it by 200° (30°-20°) the consumed period (in year, months etc.) could be obtained. By deducting this value trom the full Dasa span, the balance Dasa al the time of birth is so ascertained.

सब्याख्ये प्रथमांशो य: स देह इति कथ्यते ।
अन्त्यांशो जीवसंज्ञः स्याद्‌ विलोममपसव्यके ॥ ९४ ॥

देहादि गणयेत्‌ सव्ये जीवादिमपसव्यके ।
एवं विज्ञाय दैवज्ञस्ततस्तत्फलमादिशेत्‌ ॥ ९५ ॥

94-95 : In Savya Chakra (Chart) , the first Amsa(अंश) is named as Deha (दिह) and last one as Jeeva (जीव) Reverse is the pattern for Apsavya Chakra (i.e. last one is called Deha while the firstone as Jeeva). The counting in respect of Savya chakra should commence from Deha etc. and for Apsavya from Jeeva and predictions are made accordingly.

**Different types of motions of the sign (राशी गति) :**

कालचक्रगतिः प्रोक्ता त्रिधा पूर्वमहर्षिभिः ।
मण्डूकाख्या गतिश्चैका मर्कटीसंज्ञकाऽपरा ॥ ९६ ॥

सिंहावलोकनाख्या च तृतीया परिकीर्तिता ।
उत्प्लुत्य गमनं विज्ञा मण्डूकाल्यं प्रचक्षते ॥ ९७ ॥

पृष्ठतो गमनं नाम मकटीसंज्ञकं तथा ।
बाणाच्च नवपर्यन्तं गतिः सिंहावलोकनम्‌ ॥ ९८ ॥

96-98: The ancient Sages have described three types of movements of the signs (राशी गती) in the Kalchakra Dasa system. There are known as Mandooki (मण्डूकी), Markati (मर्कटी) and Simhaviokan (सिंदवलोकन). Dasa-sign (Rasi) moving to next sign by leaping over asigniscalled Mandookimotion. A sign moving back tothe previous sign is known as Markati motion, The sign when jumps over the 5th or 9th sign (Trines) is termed as Simhaviokan motion.

कन्या-कर्कटयोः सिंहयुग्मयोर्मडूकी गति: ।
कर्किकेसरिणोरेवं कथ्यते मर्कटी गतिः ॥ ९९ ॥

मीन-वृश्चिकयोश्चापमेषयोः सैंहिकी गतिः ।
इति सञ्चिन्त्य विज्ञेयं कालचक्रदशाफलम्‌ ॥ १०० ॥

99-100: The motion of Virgo’s Dasa to Cancer and Dasaof Leo sign to Gemini are the Mandooka types of movements. The motionof the Dasa of Leo sign to Cancer is Markatimovement. The Jumping of Pisces over to Scorpio and from Sagittarius to Aries are Simhavlokana movements.

After a proper acquaintence of these three kinds of motions, prognostication through Kalachakra Dasa could be attempted.

**Consequence of these motions (गती) during Dasas:**

मण्डूकगतिकाले हि सव्ये बन्धुजने भयम्‌ ।
पित्रोर्वा विषशास्त्राग्ज्विरचोरादिजं भयम्‌ ॥ १०१ ॥

केसरीयुग्ममण्डूके मातुर्मरणमादियेत्‌ ।
स्वमृतिं राजभीतिं वा सन्निपातभ्यं वदेत्‌ ॥ १०२ ॥

101-102:The sign-Dasa having Mandookimotions in Savya cycle, causes fear and mental pains amongst friends and acquaintances. Father will develop fear or feel distressed from poison, weapons, fire, fever, thieves etc. Mandooki formed in Leo and Gemini sign-Dasa, death of mother be predicted and besides, self-death, fear from the authorities and chances of dreaded disease be indicated.

मर्कटीगमने सब्ये धनधान्य-पशुक्षयः ।
पितुर्मरणमालस्यं तत्समानां च व मृतिः ॥ १०३ ॥

103: Dasas with Markati motion occurring in Savya cycle will bring about loss of wealth, prosperity and animals, death of father or elders and laziness.

सव्ये सिंहावलोके तु पशुभीतिर्भवेन्नृणाम्‌ ।
सुहृत्स्नेहादिनाशश्च समानजनपीडनम्‌ ॥ १०४ ॥

पतनं वापि कूपादौ विषशस्त्राग्निजं भयम्‌ ।
वाहनात्‌ पतनं वापि ज्वरार्तिः स्याननाशनम्‌ ॥ १०५ ॥

104-105: During Simhavlokana Dasa in Savya-cycle; trouble to the animals, loss of affections or mockry amongst friends, pain from dear ones etc. Drowning in a well and possibility of harm through poison, weapon and fire and chances of falling from the moving objects (animals, chariot, vehicle etc.), pains from fever, and destruction of house, dwelling etc. will be caused.

मण्डूकगमने वामे स्त्री-सुतादि-प्रपीडनम्‌ ।
ज्वरं च श्वापदाद्‌ भीतिं वदेद्‌ विज्ञः पदच्युतिम्‌ ॥ १०६ ॥

मर्कटीगमने वाऽपि जलभीतिं पदच्युतिम्‌ ।
पितुर्नाशं नृपक्रोघं दुर्गारण्याटनं वदेत्‌ ॥ १०७ ॥

सिंहावलोकर्ने वामे पदभ्रंशः पितुर्मृतिः ।
तत्समानमृत्तिर्वाऽपि फलमेवं विचिन्तर्गत्‌ ॥ १०८ ॥

106-108 : In the Apsavya cycle, Mandooka type of Movements will set in trouble to wife, children etc., possibility of fever and fall in status. Dasas of the signs in Markati motion produces; fear from water, loss of position, death of father, punishment from the authorities (Govt. etc.) and wandering in the forest be expected. In sign-Dasas with Simhaviokana motion in Apsavya cycle, service-loss or reduction in rank, death of father or near relation be considered.

**Special effects of the Motions (गति) :**

मीनात्‌ हु वृश्चिके याते ज्वरो भवति निश्चितः ।
कन्यातः कर्कटे याते भ्रातृबन्धुविनाशनम्‌ ॥ १०९ ॥

सिंहात्तु मिथुने याते स्त्रिया व्याधिर्भवेद्‌ ध्रुवम्‌ ।
कर्कटाच्च हरौ याते वधो भवति देहिनाम्‌ ॥ ११० ॥

पितृबन्धुमृतिं विद्याच्चापान्मेषे गते पुनः ।
भयं पापखगैर्युक्ते शुभखेट्युते शुभम्‌ ॥ १११ ॥

109-411: The movement of the sign-Dasa fram Pisces to Scorpio signs will definitely cause fever to the native. Succession of Virgo Dasa by Cancer Dasa will bring destruction of the brothers and friends. Shifting to Gemini Dasa from Leo Dasa brings illness to the wife. Movement frorn Cancer Dasa to Leo Dasa will cause death to the native. When Sagittarius Dasa precedes to Aries Dasa, death of the brother or the father occurs. Onthe basis of the Dasas of the signs occupied by the malefic planets or benetic planets, the auspicious or inauspicious results be predicted during the currency of the said Dasa.

शुभं वाऽप्यशुभं वापि कालचक्रदशाफलम्‌ ।
राशिदिगभागतो वापि पूर्वादिदिग्नभश्चरात्‌ ॥ ११२ ॥

तद्दिगावभागे वक्त्तव्यं तद्दशासमये नृणाम्‌ ।
यथोपदेशमार्गेण सर्वेषां द्विजसत्तम ! ॥ ११३ ॥

112-113: In the Kalachakra Dasa system, the favourable or unfavourable results be predicted on the basis of the sign of the Dasa. O learned Brahmin ! During the pericd of the ruling Dasa of the sign, the predictions be made through the medium of the directional movements of the said Dasa sign.

कन्यातः कर्कटे याते पूर्वभागे महात्फलम्‌ ।
उत्तरं देशमाश्रित्य शुभा यात्रा भविष्यति ॥ ११४ ॥

सिंहात्तु मिथुने याते पूर्वभागं विवर्जयेत्‌ ।
कार्यान्तेऽपि च नैऋत्यां सुखं यात्रा भविष्यति ॥ ११५ ॥

कर्कटात्‌ सिंहभे याते कार्यहानिश्च दक्षिणे ।
दक्षिणां दिशमाश्रित्य प्रत्यगागमनं भवेत्‌ ॥ ११६ ॥

मीनात्तु वृश्चिके याते उदग्‌ गच्छति संकटम्‌ ।
चापाच्च मकरे याते संकटं जायते ध्रुवम्‌ ॥ ११७ ॥

चापान्मेषे तु यात्रायां व्याधिर्बन्धो मतिर्भवेत्‌ ।
वृश्चिके तु सुखं सम्पत्‌ स्त्रीप्राप्तिश्च द्विजीत्तम ! ॥ ११८ ॥

सिंहाच्च कर्कटे याते पश्चिमां वर्जयेद्दिशम्‌ ।
शुभयोगे शुभं ब्रूयादशुभे त्वशुभं फलम्‌ ॥ ११९ ॥

114-119 : If the movements is from Virgo Dasa to Cancer travelling towards easternly direction be favourable and journey towards North at that time will also be beneficial.

Travelling to eastern direction is prohibited during the movement of Leo Dasa to Gemini Dasa. The journey to south- western direction willhoweverbe fruitful and the native returns after accomplishing the task. When Cancer Dasa moves to Leo Dasa and if the native undertakes the journey, the mission will not be accomplished and he will have to proceed to west instead of south. On the movement of Pisces Dasa to Scorpio Dasa, trouble be felt in the Norther side. The movement of Sagittarius Dasato Capricorn Dasa undoubtedly creates obstacles in north direction. When Sagittarius Dasa jumps over to Aries Dasa, it denotes illness, imprisonment, death etc., during the journey.

O Brahmin ! When the Dasa of the Sagittarius sign retreats to Scorpio Dasa, the native is bestowed with comforts, fame, woman (marriage). During the period when Dasa of Leo moves back to Cancer Dasa, journey to west be avoided. The combinations (Yogas) of the benefic planets render favourable results while malefics combinations denote unfavourable results

Results of the Navamsas of Kalachakra Dasa :

शूरश्चौरश्च मेषांशे लक्ष्मीवांश्च वृषांशके ।
मिथुनांशे भवेजूज्ञानी कर्काशे नृपतिर्भवेत्‌ ॥ १२०॥

सिंहांशे राजमान्यश्च कन्यांशे पण्डितो भवेत्‌ ।
तुलांशे राजमन्त्री स्याद्‌ वृश्चिकांशे च निर्धनः ॥ १२१ ॥

चापांशे ज्ञानसम्पन्नो मकरांशे च पापकृत ।
कुम्मांशे च वणिक्कर्मा मीनांशे धनधान्यवान्‌ ॥ १२२ ॥

120-122: According to the Kalachakra Dasa system, if the birth is in the Navamsa of Aries, the native will be brave but a thief. Ifthe birth be in the Taurus Navamsa, the native willbe wealthy and the Gemini Navamsa makes the native learned, The Cancer Navamsa’s birth, wil get him kingship. The native will be honoured by the king (authorities) if birth is in Leo Navamsa, If the birth bein the Navamsa of Virgo, the native becomes scholar. The birth in Libra Navamsa gets him ministership (a very high Government Position) while in Scorpio Navamsa makes him pauper. If birth is in Sagittarius Navamsa, the native willbe highly educated but birth in the Navamsa of Capricorn makes him commit sins. The native becomes businessman if born in the Aquarius Navamsa and if the birth be in the Pisces Navamsa, he becomes wealth.

सुखसम्पत्कराः सर्वे रोग-शोक-विनाशनाः ॥ १२८ ॥

मिश्रग्रहैशच संयुक्ते मिश्रं फलमवाप्नुयात्‌।

123-128 : If Deha and Jeeva signs are occupied by any of the planets, Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu death may be anticipated. If more than one of these planets are the occupant, the damages get beyond redemption (in otherwords the results will be disastrous). If Deha sign is afflicted by the malefic planets, disease will set in, and if Jeeva sign is tenanted by the maletics, sufferings through mental illness are predictable. Ifthe affliction is by the three malefic planets, early death will take place while if it is afflicted by the four maletic planets, the death is inevitable.

In case, both Deha and Jeeva signs are conjoined with the malefic planets, there will be lurking apprehension of persecution by the king (authorities), fear of theft, occurrence of death. If Deha or Jeeva signs are occupied by the Sun, tear from fire: if by the waning Moon, fear of drowning; if by Mars, injury from weapons; Mercury's occupation in these signs causes inflammatory diseases and Saturn's afflictions produces disease related to spleen. Rahu and Ketu it posited in the Deha or Jeeva will indicate fear of being poisoned.

In case, Deha or Jeeva signs are conjoined with Mercury, Jupiter or Venus (the benefic planets), these planets will afford comforts, good fortune, happiness etc. to the native and also redemption trom disease and sorrows. The occupation of mixed planets in Deha or Jeeva sign i.e. both benefic and malefic planets, mixture of good and bad events be anticipated.

पापक्षेत्रदशाकाले देहजीवौ तु दुःखित्तौ ।
शुभक्षेत्रदशाकाले शुभं भवति निश्चितम्‌ ॥ १२९ ॥

शुभयुक्ताशु भक्षेत्रदशा मिश्रफला स्मृता ।
क्रूरयुक्तशुभक्षेत्रदशा मिश्रफला तथा ॥ १३० ॥

129-130 : During the Dasa period of the Deha and Jeeva signs having lordship of malefic planets, the native remains in distress and discomforts. The Dasa-sign of the benefic planets, undoubtedly, will be auspicious. If malefic Dasa-sign is posited with a benefic planet or benefic Dasa-sign is conjunct with malefic planet, mixed results be expected.

Interpretation of kalachakra Dasa-signs in relation to Ascendant and other houses

जनानां जन्मकाले तु यो राशिस्तनुभावगः ।
तस्य चक्रदशाकाले देहारोग्यं सुखं महत्‌ ॥ १३१ ॥

शुभे पूर्णसुखं, पापे देहे रोगादिसम्भवः ।
स्वोच्चादिगतखेटाढये राज्य-मानधनाप्तयः ॥ १३२ ॥

131-132" The Kalachakra Dasa-sign being the Ascendant, the body remains healthy and the native enjoys the consequential comforts. If it happens to be a benefic sign, the results will be favourable and in the case of a malefic sign, the possibility of illness be anticipated. If it is exalted or in its own sign, honour, high status (through government) and accretion of wealth and property be expected.

धनभावे च यो राशिस्तस्प चक्रदशा यदा ।

155-156 : The methad of calculating Chara Dasa : Now | explain the Chara Dasas from the Ascendant to the 12th house. inthis Dasa system, the number of signs fromthe sign of the house upto the lord of the sign will denote the number of years of the Dasa ofthe said sign, Three signs put together in succession from Aries constitute one quarter (Pada). In order to ascertain the period (years) of Chara Dasa, the counting of the signs of odd quarters (1,3) be done in forward order, while for signs of even quarters (2, 4) it should be in the reverse order.

वृश्चिकाधिपती दौ च केतु-भौमौ स्मृतौ द्विज ! ।
शनि-राहु च कुम्भस्य स्वामिनौ परिकीर्तितो ॥ १५७ ॥

157 : Scorpio sign has the lordship of two planets viz., Mars and Ketu and Saturn and Rahu are the lords of Aquarius sign. O Brahmin! This aspect should be borne in mind.

Procedure of ascertaing Dasa in respect of signs of dual lordship :

तथैव नीचखेटस्य वर्षमेकं विशोधयेत्‌ ॥ १६५ ॥

एवं सर्वं समालोच्य जातकस्य फलं वदेत्‌ ॥ १६६ ॥

158-166 : Now I explain how to decide the Dasa-years of the signs having the dual lordship. O Brahmin! If both the lords are conjunct and located in their own signs, 12 years be assigned, otherwise Dasa-years be ascertained on the basis of single lord- ship. Incase, one lord is in its own sign and other one is ina different sign, the counting of years be restricted upto the latter one (if the lords are posited in different signs). in the event of both the lords being located in different signs, O-Brahmin, the forward or reverse counting should be in respect of the planet which is stronger. The concept of relative strength over here means that the lord which is accompanying a planet is stronger than the one without it. If both have equal number of planets, the decision will rest on the basis of the strength of the signs. The sequence is that the fixed sign from the movable sign and the dual sign from the fixed sign is more powerful. If the signs also be of the same type, the sign rendering higher number of years be considered for Chara Dasa. Here, if one planet is in the exaltation sign and the other one is contributing higher number of years, the former (the one of exaltation sign) be considered. Besides, one year be added for the planet in the exallation and one yearbe deducted if it is in the state of debilitation.

The results of the Chara Dasa be analysed after due deliberation on these lines.

क्रमादुत्क्रमतो वाऽपि घर्मभावपदक्रमात्‌ ! ।
लग्नणशिं समारभ्य विज्ञश्‍चरदशां नयेत्‌ ॥ १६७ ॥

167: Depending upon the sign of the 9th house being in the odd or even group, the Dasa of the sign is fixed by counting in forward or reverse order respectively from the Ascendant.

**तस्मात्‌ तदीशपर्यन्तं संख्यामत्र दशां बिन्दुः**

It deciphers like this; from the logitudinal difference of Dasa sign andits lord, the years of the Dasa will be denoted by the resultant sign, months, days ete. be ascertained in decifraction i.e. to express in propor- tionto the fraction ofthe sign. However, the dictum ofthe ancient scholars, to find Dasa years by counting from sign to the lard of the sign is ever since being followed.

अथाऽहं संप्रवक्ष्यामि स्थिरसंज्ञां दशां द्विज ! ।
चरे सप्त स्थिरे चाऽष्टौ द्वन्द्वे तत्र समाः स्मृताः ॥ १६८ ॥

स्थिरत्वाच्च दशाब्दानां स्थिराख्येति निगद्यते ।
ब्रह्मखेटाश्रितर्क्षादिर्दशेयं परिवर्त्तते ॥ १६९ ॥

168-169 : Maharishi Parasara said : O Brahmin! Now I divulge Sthira type of Dasa. The movable signs are ascribed 7 years, fixed signs 8 years and dual signs 9 years of Dasas. Since the Dasa years are of fixed nature, this systemis called Sthira Dasa system. The sequence of twelve sign Dasas commences from Brahma-Graha Sign. The order of counting for odd signs is forward and for even signs is backward

योऽसौ ब्रह्मग्रहः प्रोक्तः कथं ल ज्ञायते मुने ! ।
इति स्पष्टतरं ब्रूहि कृपाऽस्ति यदि ते मयि ॥ १७० ॥

170 : Maitreya said, O Supreme Sage! You have just mentioned about Brahma-Graha, be kind and shed some more tight on this subject.

चष्ठाष्टव्ययनाथेषु यो बली विषमर्क्षगः ।
पृष्ठस्थितो भवेद्‌ ब्रह्मा बलिनो लग्नजाययोः ॥ १७१ ॥

कारकादष्टमेशो वा ब्रह्माऽप्यष्टभावगः ।
शनौ पाते च ब्रह्मत्वे ब्रह्मा तत्षष्ठखेचरः ॥ १७२ ॥

बहवो लक्षणाक्रान्ता ज्ञेयस्तेष्वधिकांशकः ।
अंशसाम्ये बलाधिक्याद्‌ विज्ञेयो ब्रह्मखेचरः ॥ १७३ ॥

171-173 : Maharishi Parasara replied; “The strongest lord amongst 6th, 8th or 12th house reckoned from the Ascendant or 7th house (the house holding more strength) and posited in an odd sign and also located within 6 signs from the Ascendant or 7th house (the one being considered) is called Brahma-Graha. The lord of the 8th house from Karaka (Atmakarka) and posited in 8th house is also taken as Bramha. Amongst the Saturn, Rahu or Ketu which ever is being picked up as Brahma-Graha and 6th lord there from is also called Brahma. If more than one planets is getting approved as Bramha, the one with greater longitude be reckoned as Bramha- Graha. in the event of longitude being identical, the stronger one be considered.

योगार्घे च दशामानं द्वयोर्योगार्धसम्मितम्‌ ।
लग्नसचप्तमप्राण्यादिर्दशेयं च प्रवर्तते ॥ १७४ ॥

174 : Half the sum total periods of Chara and Sthira Dasas constitute the span of Yogardha Dasa. The Dasas of the twelve signs are commenced from the Ascendant or 7th house whichever is the stronger and with the forward counting for the odd signs and backward counting for the even signs.

लग्नसप्तमयोर्मध्यो यो राशिर्बलवान्‌ भवेत्त्‌ ।
त्ततः केन्द्रादि-संस्थानां राशीनाञ्च बलक्रमात्‌ ॥ १७५ ॥

कारकादपि राशीनां खेटानां चैवमेव हि ।
दशाब्दाश्चरवज्ज्ञेयाः खेटानां च स्वभावधि ॥ १७६ ॥

175-176 : From the Ascendant or 7th house whichever is stronger, the Dasa of the signs of Angles (Kendra) etc., in their relative strength order are reckoned. [If the sign of the Ascendant or 7th house (what ever will be the case) is ocd, the sequence of the Dasas will be in progression and if it is an even sign, the 08585 sequence will be ina reverse manner forthe signs locatedin Kendra (Angles), Panapharas (Succedent), Apoklimas (Cadent) houses. The Dasa order will be in accordance to the comparative strength of the sign.] in the same manner, the Dasa of the signs and planets be considered from Atmakarka also. The scheme of fixing the span of Dasa in Chara Dasa system as weil be adopted in this case. The Dasa period (years) of the planets is ascertained through counting upto their respective signs.

This Dasa is of two kinds (i) Kendradi Dasa (iI) Karka-Kendraci Dasa. Eveninthis, some kind of ditfarence exists between Kendradi-Sign Dasa and Kendra-Planet Dasa. Appropos procedure relates to Kendra sign Dasa. The pattern of Kendra-Planat Dasais also near about the same as planets instead of signs are taken into consideration over here. For fixing the period (years) of the Dasas, Maharishi Parasara described it by saying “दशाब्दाश्चरवज्हेयाः” which means that the Dasa period (years) be identical to Chara Dasa years.

Example : 13

In the illustrated horoscope, the 7th house is stronger than the Ascendant (for logic, please see example 11). Consequently, the serial of Dasas will begin from the 7th house and in reverse order, as the 7th sign is even sign. In that order, the first Angle sign is Aries then Capricorn and lastly Libra sign. Since, 7th lord Moon is located in Aries, the Dasa will commence from Aries. Between Capricorn and Libra signs, the Dasa of the sign will come next whose lord has higher longitude.

The signs of the Panaphara houses from the 7th house are (in severse arder) Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius and Virgo. The Dasas of these signs will be serlaled on the basis of these comparative strength. It comes to Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius and Gemini. The sign Dasas of the Apoklima houses with respect to the 7th house are Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio and Leo and in the sequence of Taurus, Aquarius, Leo, Scoprio Dasas.

The total number of years in respect of each Dasa shoutd be determined on the basis of Chara Dasa system. The Cancer sign being of even group, the total years will be 3 (4-1) i.e. by counting in the reverse _ order from the 7th house to the sign in which the 7th lord Moon is posited. Similarly, the Dasa periods (years) of the other signs may be determined.

In the same manner, amongst Atmakarka, the Moon, lord of Aries and the 7th sign, the Aries sign is more powerful. This is an odd sign, hance, the Dasa will start from Aries sign itself. Thereafter, the Dasas of the signs of Kendra, Panaphara and Apoklima houses be determined.

Karaka-Kendradi Graha (Planet) Dasa :

Atmakaraka Moon is posited in Aries sign which is an odd sign. Therefore, forward sequence will start from Aries in the context of Kendra, Panaphara and Apoklima houses and the Dasas of the planets located in these houses will follow the sequence depending upon their comparative strength.

Like, the Moon is in Aries, hence first Dasa will be that of the Moon and next planet in Angle from Aries, is only Venus and the Dasa of Venus will come next. The planets located in the Panaphara houses from the Moon (in the direct order) are Sun, Mercury, Mars, Ketu and Rahu. Since first three planets are together, the determination of three order will be on the longitudinal basis and the sequence will be Sun, Mars and Mercury. This will be followed by Ketu and Rahu Dasas.

The planets in Apoklima house from the Moon are only Saturn and Jupiter. On the basis of their strength, Jupiter comes first succeeded by Saturn.

The span of the Dasas of these planets is equal to the number (in terms of years) between the planets and their respective signs. Hence, the Dasa-span of Moon is 3 (4-1) years when counted in the reverse order upto Cancer (even sign). On the same lines, the Dasa-span in respect of planets may be measured. However, the sequence of the Dasas will remain the same.

As stated earlier, in the determination of the Dasa ofa planet, the counting should always commence from the planet to its respective sign. However, some astrological scholars are of the opinion that the counting should be from the sign to its planet (lords). This concept does not seem to hold water because the exposition of Kendradi-Dasa over here is purely in context with the maxim of Maharishi Parasara which is at variance with the Jaimini's aphorism.

दिराश्यधिप-खेटस्य गर्णयेदुभयादधि ।
उभयोरधिका संख्या कारकस्य दशा समा: ॥ ९७७ ॥

177 : The counting of the Dasa period (years) in respect of planets having lordship over two signs should be done upto both the signs and which ever sign attributes longer period shall be reckoned as the Dasa-span of the planet.

आत्मकारकमारभ्य कारकाख्यदशा क्रमात्‌ ।
लग्नात्‌ कारकपर्यन्तं संख्यामत्र दशां विदुः ॥ १७८ ॥

178 : Karaka Dasa commences from Atmakaraka and has the same sequence as that of the Karakas (eight Karakas). In this Dasa system, the span of each Dasa is equal the number (years) between the Ascendant and the respective Karaka.

मण्डूकापरपर्याया त्रिकूटाल्यदशा द्विज ! ।
लग्नसप्तमयोर्मध्ये यो राशिर्बलवान्‌ भवेत्‌ ॥ १७९ ॥

ततः क्रमेणौजरशो समे नेया सथोत्क्रमात्‌ ।
त्रिकूटानां च विज्ञेयाः स्थिरवच्च दशा समाः ॥ १८० ॥

179-180 : O Brahmin! The ancient Astrologers used the name of Trikoota Dasa for Mandooka Dasa. Dasa in this system, emanates from the strongest amongst the Ascendant and the 7th house and sequence of the Dasas is in the forward or in the reverse order depending upon the sign being of odd or even nature. The period (years) of the Dasa are in line with the Sthira Dasa system (i.e., for movable signs-7 years, fixed signs 8 years and for dual signs 9 years). In this Dasa scheme, the counting pattern is to relinquish two signs in between every time (i.e. Jumping over two signs) and for this very reason it is called Mandooka Dasa.

निर्याणस्य विचारार्थं कैश्चिच्छूलदशा स्मृत्ता ।
लग्नसप्तमतो मृत्युभयोर्यो बलवान्‌ भवेत्‌ ॥ १८१ ॥

तदादिर्विषमे विप्र ! क्रमादुत्क्रमतः समे ।
दशाब्दाः स्थिरवत्तत्र बलिमारकभे मृतिः ॥ १८२ ॥

181-182 : Some astrological Savants consider Shoola Dasa for ascertaining the timing of death. The eighth house fromthe Ascendant or the 7th house i.e. the 2nd house, which ever is stronger will lead the Dasa order into motion. The sequence of the twelve signs will be in the forward or in the reverse order depending upon the leading sign being odd or even. The Dasas years are identical to those in the Sthira Dasa system. Death possibly occurs in the Dasa of strong Capricorn sign.

जन्मलग्नत्रिकोणेषु यो राशिर्बलवान्‌ भवेत्‌ ।
तमारभ्य नयेद्‌ धीमान्‌ चरपर्यायवद्‌ दशाम्‌ ॥ १८३ ॥

क्रमादुतक्रमतो ग्राह्यं त्रिकोणं विषमे समे ।
त्रिकोणाख्यदशा प्रोक्ता समा नाथावसानका: ॥ १८४ ॥

183-184; Trikona Dasa emanates from the Ascendant or from of the Trinal houses (5th or 9th) which ever is the stronger one and is like Chara Dasa. Forward count for odd and reverse count for the even sign, be adopted. The Dasa years equals to the difference of the number of signs between the concernd Trinal house to the lord of its sign. This Dasa-system since confined tothe Trinal houses (1,5,9) it is called Trikona-Dasa system.

लग्नाद्‌ धर्मस्य तद्दृष्टराशीनां च दशास्ततः ।
दशमस्य च तद्दृष्टरशीनां च नयेत्‌ पुनः ॥ १८५ ॥

एकादशस्य तद्दृष्टराशीनां स्थिरवतु समाः ।
प्रवृत्ता दृग् वशाद्यस्माद्‌ दुगुदशेयं ततः स्सूता ॥ १८६ ॥

चरे व्युत्क्रमतो ग्राह्या दुगयोग्याः स्थिरभे क्रमात्त्‌ ।
विषमे क्रमतो द्वन्दे राशयो व्युत्क्रमात्‌ समे ॥ १८७ ॥

185-187 : First, the 9th sign from the Ascendant, and then signs aspected by the 9th sign followed by the 10th sign and the signs aspected by 10th sign and thereafter 11th sign, the signs aspected by the 11th sign are the Dasas of the signs under Driga Dasa system. The sequence of the Dasa are decided on the basis of aspects and that is why it is called Driga-Dasa system.

The signs 9th, 10th, 11th from the Ascendant are respectively movable, fixed and dual. In the event of movable signs the count toward aspected signs be forward and in that of fixed signs, the counting upto the aspected sign be in the reverse order. Incase of dual sign, if it is odd sign, forward counting and even sign backward counting, upto the aspected signs be resorted to.

ऋक्षे लनादिराशीनां दशा राशिदशा स्मृता ।
भयातं रविभिर्निघ्नं भभोगविहृतं फलम्‌ ॥ १८८ ॥

राश्याद्यं लग्नराश्यादौ योज्यं द्वादशशेषितम् ।
तदारभ्य क्रमादोजे दशा जेयोत्क्रमात्‌ समे ॥ १८९ ॥

188-189 : Every Nakshatra consists of Dasas of 12 signs including the Ascendant in Lagnadi-Rasi Dasa system. Multiply Bhayaata at birth by 12 and divide it by the Bhabhoga and the remainder sign degree etc., be added to the Ascendant’s longitude and the sum be divided by 12 and Rasi-Dasa is thus obtained. The Dasa sequence will commence there from upto the 12 signs. For odd sign forward and for even sign reverse counting will be resorted to.

Example : 15

The Bhagaata of the birth Nakshatra Kritika is 0 Ghati, 36 Palas, 20 Vipalas (432 Pallas) [Vipala be ignored as being inconsequential] and Bhaghoga 65 Gh. 22 Pal. (3922 Pal.)

Bhayaata + Bhabhoga = 432 Pal. + 3922 Pal.

= 0 Sign, 3 Deg., 18 Mts. and 16 Sec.

[It the sum of the signs is more the 12 signs, dispense with 12 signs and balance signs be reckoned]. In the instant case, the resultant sign is lass than 12 signs and henca Capricorn Dasa will be the first Dasa and the sequence of the Dasaswillbe in the reverse order (Capricorn being even sign). The period (years) of the Dasa will be inline with the SthiraDasa system,

Method to find out the Balance of Dasa:

दशाब्दा भुक्तभागघ्ता त्रिंशता विहृताः फलम्‌ ।
भुक्तं वर्षादिकं ज्ञेयं भोग्यं मानाद्‌ विशोधितम्‌ ॥ १९०॥

190 : The expired longitude of the Dasa (so obtained) be multiplied by the total year of the said Dasa and then divided by 30. The product will indicate the expired period. By deducting the Product from Dasa (years), the balance of Dasa be obtained.

191-194 : Write the sequence of Akaradi (अकारादि) 5 Swaras (अ, इ, उ, ए, औ) and beneath, write the Varana (वर्ण) in natural seriatim. The words ‘ड’, 'ञ', 'ण' are to be ignored as there Varana are not put to use in any individual name. The Varana are written in six rows and five

coloumns. However, if these Varanas are figured in any name, the same may be replaced by another Varana such as ड by ग, ञ,by च and ण by ड्. Identify the “Swara’from the column in which Varana of the name of the individual is placed. Commencing from that Swara, the Dasas are determined. All the five Dasas are of 12 years duration. Every Swara Dasa contains Antardasa of the five Swara in the same sequence.

195-199 : Maharsh Parasara said; O learned Savant, I have already described Varana Dasa, now | explain to you Yogini Dasa an enunciated be Lord Mahadeva. There are eight Yogini Dasas viz., 1.
