Verse 1–4

1-4: Position of Rahu in Cancer, Scorpio or Sagittarius sign delivers, felicitation from the king, clothes, vehicles, ornaments, copious profits in the business; gains of animals and acquisition of clothes and vehicles during the visits to the West, in the Antardasa of Rahu.

Placement of Rahu in the Upachaya houses (3,6,10,11) from the Ascendant, having conjunction or aspects of auspicious planets or in the friendly Navamsa or exaltation sign, its Antardasa and also Mahadasa will bestow gain of kingdom, high degree of enthusiasm, affection of the king, auspiciousness, comforts from wife, feeling of exaltation due to increment in children, accretion of assets etc.

लग्नाष्टमे व्यये राहौ पापयुक्तेऽथ वीक्षिते ।
चौरादिव्रणपीडा च सर्वत्रैवं भवेद् द्विज ! ॥ ५ ॥

राजद्वारजनद्वेष इष्टबन्धुविनाशनम् ।
दारपुत्रादिपीडा च भवत्येव न संशयः ॥ ६ ॥

Verse 5–6

5-6 : If Rahu is posited in the 8th or the 12th house from the Ascendant, in its own Mahadasa and Antardasa, there will undoubtedly, be grief from theft, injury etc., conflicts with the administratives of the king; destruction of co-borns; trouble to wife and children.

द्वितीयद्यूननाथे वा सप्तमस्थानमाश्रिते ।
सदा रोगो महाकष्टं शान्तिं कुर्याद्यथाविधि ।
आरोग्यं सम्पदश्चैव भविष्यन्ति तदा द्विज ! ॥ ७ ॥

Verse 7

7 : Rahu be the lord of the 2nd or the 7th house or located in these houses, will cause perpetual disease and extensive distress. By undertaking worships in a pescribed manner, O Brahmin ! sound health and assets will be attained.

It is also a firm conviction of the learned astrologers, that since Rahu, has no base of its own, it acquires the characteristic of a planet in whose sign it is posited but at the same time, it also gives effect of the conjunct planets.

Whatever might be the position of Rahu, it does administer the effect of mental tension, irritation, callousness, lethargy, strife, obstacles in work, enmity, disappointments, depression etc. in its Antardasa.

However, depending upon its placement in the birth chart, the degree of intensity will vary. Let us take an example to bring home this point.

Example: 33

Data : Date of birth 8/9-10-1970; time of birth 5-02 hrs. (IST); Latitude 28°-43' (N); Longitude 77°-47' (E).

In the birth chart, Rahu is placed in Upachaya House (i.e. 6th), duly aspected by Mars and Jupiter and is also in its own Nakshatra Satbisha. The native completed medical education (M.B.B.S.). Although in the Antardasa and the Mahadasa of Rahu, which operated between 28-5-1991 and 2-2-1994, the native had good success in the education, he encountered series of difficulties in the period. He also faced disappointments, depression, hindrances etc. So much so, he reached to a stage where he was almost failing in the examination. Position of Rahu in the Upachaya house, both in the birth and Navamsa charts saved the situation and the native could ultimately achieve success.

In Chaturamsa, Rahu is at a benefic position i.e. in the 5th house duly aspected by the Moon. Saturn is in the 9th house. The disappointment in the education was on account of Rahu's aspects on Saturn and the Ascendant.

Here is another very interesting example of Rahu's Antardasa in. the Mahadasa of Rahu.

Example : 34

Data : Date of birth 15-7-1943; Time of birth 16-50 Hrs (IST). Latitude 28°-42' (N), Longitude 77⁰-41 (E)

Balance Dasa: Mercury 0 year - 5 months 10 days.

Trouble through the wrath of the king (Government); loss of elder brother, distress to parents etc. are the type of malefic results that will be felt in the last two months of the Antardasa.

For the alleviation of the ill effects of the planets, Lord Shiva be worshipped and Golden image be given in chairty which will appease the planets and sound health will be granted.

A very good example of benefic Jupiter is cited herewith, which will depict inheritance of huge property by the native from his mother's side in the Rahu's Mahadasa and in Jupiter's Antardasa.

Jupiter Antardasa in Rahu's Mahadasa operated from 17-10 1983 to 11-3-1986.

Jupiter having acquired the lordship of the 4th and the 7th houses is located in the 11th house, in its sign of exaltation and is placed at Angle to Rahu, the lord of the Mahadasa. Although, Jupiter is the lord of the 7th house, its exaltation position is protecting the health of the native and as such, he did not suffer any kind of ailment in this period.

राहोरन्तर्गते मन्दे लग्नात्केन्द्रत्रिकोणगे ।
स्वोच्चे मूलत्रिकोणे वा दुश्चिक्ये लाभराशिगे ॥ २१ ॥

तद्भुक्तौ नृपतेः सेवा राजप्रीतिकरी शुभा ।

प्रयाणं पश्चिमे भागे प्रभुमूलाद्धनक्षयः ।
देहालस्यं फलाल्पत्वं स्वदेशे पुनरेष्यति ॥ २४ ॥

Verse 21–24

21-24 : Placement of Saturn in Angle, Trine; sign of exaltation, Moolatrikona; in the 3rd or the 11th house will bring results such as, pleasure of serving the king, marriage festivity or other auspicious functions, development of garden and pond (water tank), accomplishment of the desired objectives of the Sudra King and accumulation of cows, visit to West and destruction of wealth denoted by the king, lethargy, depletion of income, visit back to home country, etc., in the Antardasa of Saturn of the Mahadasa of Rahu.

नीचारिक्षेत्रगे मन्दे रन्ध्रे वा व्ययगेऽपि वा ।
नीचारिराजभीतिश्च दारपुत्रादिपीडनम् ॥ २५ ॥

आत्मबन्धुमनस्तापं दायादजनविग्रहम् ।
व्यवहारे च कलहमकस्माद्भूषणं लभेत् ॥ २६ ॥

Verse 25–26

25-26 : Should Saturn be in the sign of debilitation, in the enemy's sign, placed in the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house or the conjunction with malefic planets, its Antardasa will cause hostility from menials, danger from the king, physical distress of wife and children, mental agony of the co-borns, conflict with the co-heir, complications and disputes in the business but there will be sudden gain of ornaments.

दायेशात्षष्ठरिष्फे वा रन्ध्रे वा पापसंयुते ।
हृद्रोगो मानहानिश्च विवाद: शत्रुपीडनम् ॥ २७ ॥

अन्यदेशादिसञ्चारो गुल्मवद्व्याधिभाग् भवेत् ।
कुभोजनं कोद्रवादि जातिदुःखाद्भयं भवेत् ॥ २८ ॥

द्वितीयद्यूननाथे तु ह्यपमृत्युर्भविष्यति ।
कृष्णां गां महिषीं दद्याद्दानेनारोग्यमादिशेत् ॥ २९ ॥

Verse 27–29

27-29: If the position of Saturn from the Mahadasa lord (Rahu) is at the 6th, the 8th or the 12th house and in conjunction with the malefic planets, the Antardasa of Saturn will produce heart ailments, disrepute, danger from the enemy, visits to other countries, disease of boils, bad food, fear of grief of the people from ones own caste. If Saturn is the lord of the 2nd or the 7th house, there will be untimely (early) death. During this time, charity of black cow or buffalo will bring sound health and alleviate the ill effects..

Saturn being the lord of the Ascendant, if posited in the 2nd or other Maraka house, it does not bring any kind of affliction to the native's body. However, if there is any other malefic influence, it many creat some health problems.

Saturn's position in the 2nd house bestow assets to be inherited by the descenders of the native. There results are more pronounced in the Ascendant of Capricorn. No doubt, native also accumulates assets in Sagittarius Ascendant, but this wealth is shared amongst the brothers, since Saturn takes over the lordship of the 3rd house in such a nativity.

If Saturn is in the sign of exaltation, in the Ascendant of Scorpio, such native purchases fixed assets in other places. In case of Taurus Ascendant, an exalted Saturn (in the 6th house) will harm the business (10th house). Auspicious Saturn, by and large, renders benefic results in Libra Ascendant.

We now analyse a horoscope of a person who achieved extra ordinary wealth, fixed assets and self marriage in the Antardasa of Saturn in the Mahadasa of Rahu.

Example: 36

Data : Date of birth: 29-5-1965; Time of birth, 23-24 hrs. (IST) Latitude 28°-30' (N); Longitude 77°-49' (E)

Balance Dasa: The Sun 4 years, 9 months, 5 days

In the birth chart, Saturn is placed in its Mooaltrikona house and is also at Angle to Rahu. The native inherited huge property from father's side which was immediately utilised in the purchase of agricultural land. He also got married in this period, though one alliance was got annulled in May 1994. For this, the debilitated position of Saturn and placement of Jupiter in the 12th house in the Navamsa chart are responsible. The sub period of the Saturn of the main period of Rahu was in operation between 11-4 -1992 and 15-2-1992.

Example: 37

Data : Date of birth 30-12-1959; Time of birth, 14-45 hrs. (IST) Latitude 29° 0 (N); Longitude 77°-1' (E).

Balance Dasa at birth : Venus 4 years, 7 months, 14 days.

Diagram from BPHS chapter 57
Diagram from the source text, BPHS chapter 57.

In the birth chart, Saturn is posited in the 8th house with two malefic planets (the Sun, the Moon) and also having the lordship of the 10th house. As such, the native suffered heavy losses in his business and he had to change his profession. Native's son also died by drownings under mysterious conditions in the sub-period of Saturn of the main period of Rahu (from 19-9-1992 to 27-7-1995). The Kastha Phala of Saturn is 33.40 and Ishta Phala 1.84.

Although Saturn has the lordship of two auspicious houses (Yogakaraka), it is placed in a Trik house and its Ista Phala is also quite less. The 10th house represents 'work place' and the 9th house is also related to son (5th from 5th, and also having aspect of Rahu). Therefore, signification of both these houses have been affected in the Antardasa of Saturn.

तद्दोषपरिहारार्थं विष्णुसाहस्रकं जपेत् ॥ ३९ ॥

Verse 39

In the birth chart Mercury is placed in the 9th house along with the Sun (lord of the 9th house) and Rahu is also in the Sun's Nakshatra (Poorva Phalguni) since Mercury is the lord of the Angle house (10th), it forms a Yogakaraka combination with the Sun. Although Mercury is combust, still the native made an excellent progress in earning his livelihood during the Antardasa of the Mercury. The Dashamsa chart needs to be analysed to confirm the results. In this chart, Mercury is located in the 2nd house forming an exchange with Saturn, posited in the 10th house. Therefore, connection between the income house and the profession house is responsible in delivering such beneficial results in the Antardasa of Mercury.

Mars in the Mahadasa of Rahu with Mars in the 9th house is given below:

Data : Date of birth, 2-11-1954; Time of birth, 18-30 hrs. (IST). Latitude 28°-50' (N); Longitude 78°-45' (E).

The native received a very big export order in this period which operated from 21.11.1992 to 9.12.1993, and was followed by many more orders but in the Antardasa of Saturn in the Mahadasa of Rahu, the condition of the business was rather bad.

Mars the lord of the 7th (Business) and the 12th house (export) and is posited in the 9th house (fortune) is in exaltation. In Navamsa chart, Mars having been located in the 4th house, is casting aspect on the 9th house. The Dashamsa will further confirm the position.

In Dashama, Mars is again posited in its sign of exaltation in the 12th house. On account of connection of the 12th house of the birth and Dashamsa charts and also the business house, the export business could get greater degree of acceleration thereby yielding sizable amount of profits in the sub-period of Mars in the Main, Dasa of Rahu.
