Verse 1

1 : The Pratyantardasa years of a planet be multiplied by the Mahadasa years of each planet separately and the product then be divided by 120 (total of the Mahadasa of all planets), the resultant will indicate the Sookshmadasa of each planet.

Sookshmadasa = No. of days of the Pratyantardasa × Mahadasa years
120

Let us take up an example which will make the method of computation quite clear.

Example: 83 : To find out Sookshmadasa of the Pratyantardasa of the Moon in the Antardasa of the Sun and in the Mahadasa of Jupiter.

Pratyantardasa of the Moon = 24 days
Mahadasa years of the Moon = 10 years
Sookshmadasa of the Moon = 24 × 10 = 2 days
120

Similarly, under the same Pratyantardasa of the Moon, the Sookshmadasas of the other planets be worked out, keeping the sequence of the dasas under Vimshottari Dasa system.

Sookshmadasa of Mars (Mahadasa = 7 years)

24 × 7 = 1.4 days 1 day 24 Gh. or 1 day 9 hrs 36 mts.
120
(Common factor is 24 » 12 = 0.2)
Sookshmadasa of Rahu (Mahadasa = 18 years)
0.2 × 18 = 3.6 = 3 days 36 Gh. or 3 days 14 hrs. 24 mts.
Sookshmadasa of Jupiter (Mahadasa = 16 years)
0.2 × 16 = 3.2 = 3 days 12 Gh. or 3 days 4 hrs. 48 mts.
Sookshmadasa of Saturn (Mahadasa = 19 years)
0.2 × 19 = 3.8 = 3 days 48 Gh. or 3 days 19 hrs. 12 mts.
Sookshmadasa of Mercury (Mahadasa = 17 years)
0.2 × 17 = 3.4 = 3 days 24 Gh. or 3 days 9 hrs. 36 mts.
Sookshmadasa of Ketu (Mahadasa = 7 years)
0.2 × 7 = 1.4 = 1 days 24 Gh. or 1 days 9 hrs. 36 mts.
Sookshmadasa of Venus (Mahadasa = 20 years)
0.2 × 20 = 4 = 4 days 0 Gh. or 4 days 0 hrs. 0 mts.
Sookshmadasa of Sun (Mahadasa = 6 years)
0.2 × 6 = 1.2 = 1 days 12 Gh. or 1 days 4 hrs. 48 mts.

These Sookshmadasas of the Pratyantardasa of the Moon in the Antardasa of the Sun and the Mahadasa of Jupiter could be shown in a tabular form both in terms of Ghatis and hours etc.

TABLE-30

Pratyantardasa, Sookshmadasa is very helpful. For putting this Dasa, which is a sub-sub-sub period of major period, into practice, we need to precisely select the houses, lord of the houses significators and 'Yogakaraka' plantes in the nativity. Prior to citing an illustration in this respect, it would help in a great deal if some niceties and important factors relating to this Dasa are discussed over here.

Suppose we need to fix the time of occurance of a disease, the Ascendant and the 6th house are to be studied in greater detail. In the event of Pratyantardasa lord being the lord of the Ascendant and Sookshmadasa lord happened to be the lord of the 6th house, the health of the native will not be good. In the reverse situation, similar effects would also surface. Further, if perchance, the Antardasa also belongs to the lords of either of these houses, the intensity of affliction would be quite severe.

In case the native is desirous to know the precise time for the birth of his child, we are then required to take into account Antar, Prityantar and Sookshma Dasas and the lords of the 5th and the 9th houses and the respective significators viz., Jupiter and the Sun. For fixing the precise timing of the marriage the required ingredients would be the 7th house, lords of 7th and 12th houses (the 12th house signifies bed comforts), lord of the Ascendant and Venus as significator. The marriage will take place in the Antar, Pratyantar and Sookshma Dasa of the combination of these lords. Similarly, service or promotion will take place during the Antar, Pratyantar and Sookshma Dasas of the lords of the 10th, the 9th houses and significators Saturn, Jupiter etc.

In the same manner, the houses, the lords and the significators related to a particular event should carefully be selected so that timing of such event could precisely be drawn with the help of their Antar, Pratyantar and Sookshma Dasas. Incidentally, the Indian ephemerides (astronomical almanac) are not based on a sigular "Ayanamsa". The ephemerides (Panchangas) are compiled with varied 'Ayanamsas'. Therefore, some variations in the longitude of the Moon are bound to take place. Consequently, this would set in different balance of Dasas at the time of birth thereby, bringing dissimilarity in the subsequent Dasas. Therefore, before giving prediction, the horoscope should be rectified, on the basis of the past incidents of the native otherwise, timing of the events would go astray.

Let us discuss a few examples on Sookshma Dasa.

This birth chart pertains to an officer from Indian Administrative Service (I.A.S.). In this horoscope of Cancer Ascendant, Jupiter being the lord of the 6th and the 9th houses is placed in the Ascendant and is in its exalted sign and from there, casting its aspect on the 9th house. Similarly, the lord of the 10th Mars being posited in the 4th house throwing its aspect on the 10th house. The native got selected in the I.A.S. on 12-9-1968 and this event took place during the Mahadasa of Rahu and in the Antardasa of Mars, Pratyantardasa of Jupiter and Sookshmadasa of Mars which was operative between 10-9-1968 and 13-9-1968.

Example-85 :

Data : Date of birth 10-10-1964; Time of birth 20-15 hrs. (IST) Place birth, Patiala (Punjab-India).

Balance of Dasa at birth, Mercury, 12 years, 1 month, 16 days:

This is a horoscope of a female who got married on 22-10 1990. At the time of marriage, the Mahadasa of Venus, Antardasa of Mars, Pratyantardasa of Venus and Sookshma Dasa also of Mars were running (from 21-10-1990 to 25-10-1990). In the instant horoscope, Mars is the lord of the 7th and the 12th houses and the

lord of the Ascendant is Venus. At the time of marriage, Venus was having Maha and Pratyantardasas while Mars had Antar and Sookshmadasas and the marriage was performed during these Dasas.

Example: 86

Data : Date of birth 10-12-1966, Time of birth 6-05 hrs (IST)

Latitude 28-43' (N); Longitude, 77°-55' (E).

Balance of Dasa: Jupiter 7 years, 9 months, 4 days.

This native met with an accident while travelling on a scooter and his one foot got crushed and also suffered a fracture. This event occured when both Mahadasa and Antardasa of Mercury were running. The Pratyantardasa was of Venus while Ketu had its Sookshmadasa from 22-7-1994 & 1-8-1994. Mercury which had its Antardasa is considered malefic for the Scorpio Ascendant because in this nativity, it owns the 8th and the 11th houses. The 11th house being the 6th from the 6th house does cause disease and accident. The significator of accident is Mars which with the ownership of the 6th house and the Ascendant is posited in the 11th house of Mercury. Therefore, Mercury being the dispositor of the significator of accident, got induced with its (Mars) prepense quality. Feet are represented by the 12th house whose lord is Venus which is under the aspect from Mars. Besides, Ketu is posited in the 12th house itself. This kind of disposition of the malefic planets, do set a pointer for a possible bodily distress during the combination of the Dasas. of there planets. The accident did take place in the Sookshmadasa of Ketu and Pratyantardasa of Venus.

However, all these incidents should also be analysed and confirmed through the transitory planets.

It may thus be seen that if someone is having an accurate time of birth and horoscope is correctly drawn and also properly rectified, it is possible to predict precise results.
