Hora Sara
Chapter - 8. DashaPhal Nirupana

The Dasha of the strongest comes first among Lagna, Surya and Chandra. Then comes the Dasha of the Grah, that is angular, while the third Dasha is of that, which is non-angular. Should all the three be of equal strength, then the order is based on larger number of years contributed. Should even the years be not different, then the one rises after next conjunction will be predominant. Finally, if these risings are similar, then the Dasha of the one, that has risen first will lead the scheme. Based on the strength of the above mentioned trinity, the three various stages of life will be effective in order. The strength, or otherwise of these three will decide the effects of the three stages of life. Should the dispositor of Chandra be exalted, in a friend’s Bhava, in his own Varg/Rasi and have no Drishti of malefics, then she will powerfully reveal the qualities of Lagna’s lord and prove auspicious to the native from the very birth. Should all the benefics be in Sahaj, Shatru (6th house) and Labha (11th house) Bhava, the subject will be happy in his early part of life. Malefics in these Bhavas will give issues in the second part of one’s life. Should the Dasha of Lagna be not open at birth, then some other Dasha may occur. However, some do not subscribe to this viewpoint. The right way should be conceived per mercy of the preceptor. The Dasha of a Grah leaving its exaltation Rasi is called Avarohini Dasha and the good results gradually diminish. Similarly, when a Grah is approaching its exaltation Rasi, its Dasha is called “Arohini” and it will give full effects. As regards the Dasha of a Grah in exaltation, friend’s Rasi, or own Rasi, such Amsh, its debilitation, or inimical Rasi, or, when a Grah is eclipsed, it will give mixed effects and prove auspicious in the second half. Surya gives vitality to the Dasha effects, while Chandra regains the same. All other Grahas are known, as starry Grahas and remain under the influence of Surya and Chandra. In the system of Nisargika Dasha, the Dashas of Grahas follow, as under: Chandra, Kuja, Budha, Sukra, Guru, Surya and Sani and these prove auspicious in their turns. Though a Grah may be in evil Rasi, or evil Amsh, or eclipsed by Surya, he will yield good results, if he has potency to bestow. If he is in enemy’s Bhava, or Amsh, he will under the circumstances, yield kingdom. Notes: “Nisarga” means bestowing, or granting and hence a liberal translation, as above is made. It has also been translated, as Naisargika Dasha elsewhere. The reader is the best judge. The Grah placed in the Hora, or Navamsh of Surya will give full effects, while the one in Chandra’s Navamsh, or Hora, it is only in a pipe dream, that the results mature. Notes: Refer to Brihat Jataka, Ch. XXI, Slokas 4 and 5. Malefic in solar Horas in odd Rasis make one famous, engaged in big undertaking, powerful, wealthy and bright. Similarly benefics in lunar Horas in even Rasi make the person mild in disposition, brilliant in form, happy, lucky, intelligent and sweet spoken. If malefics are in lunar Horas in odd Rasis, or benefics in solar Horas in even Rasis, the native is devoid of the respective effects. The Dasha of a Grah in Lagna, exaltation Bhava, own Rasi, or own Dreshkan will be fully beneficial. The effects of such a Grah placed in any Navamsh, as above will only be mixed. If at the start of a Dasha, Chandra is posited in Karkataka, the person will be harmed by a lady and kill cattle. In the Bhava of Kuja, he will kill the landlord. Notes: The details to work out the starting movements of Dasha, or Bhukti are elaborately dealt with in the notes under Sloka 18 of this Ch.. Should Chandra (at the time of a commencement of a Dasha) be in a Rasi owned by Budha, learning, proficiency in Shastras and making new acquaintances are indicated. If it is Guru’s Rasi, one begets comforts, residence and respect. In the Bhava of Sukra, Chandra gives (at the time of commencement of a Dasha) enjoyment of food and drink galore, comforts and destruction too. Should Sani be the owner of such a Bhava, the person derives pleasure through the woman he married and does menial acts.
