If Chandra (at the time of commencement of a Dasha)
be in Shimha, the native lives in impeccable
forests, feels inclined to torture others and
quarrel with wife and son.
At the commencement of a Dasha, if the Dasha lord is
in a friendly Bhava, or exalted, or in an Upachaya
Bhava, in a Kon, or in Kalatra (7th house) Bhava,
there will be generally good results.
If Chandra is in adverse Bhava (at the commencement
of a Dasha) the lord of the Dasha, though placed in
exaltation (in the natal horoscope) will not give
good effects.
Authors, like Manitha, Keshava Daivagna, Mahadeva
etc., suggest, that Chandra’s good position at the
moment of the starting of a Dasha is necessary, in
order that the Dasha Lord, Bhukti Lord etc. bestow
good results. This is in spite of the fact, that the
Grah concerned in the natus may not be that good.
Conversely, if Chandra is not well placed at Dasha
Prarambha Kala, or Bhukti Prarambha Kala (i.e.
commencement of Dasha, or Bhukti), with well placed
Dasha·Lord/Bhukti·Lord with reference to the
nativity, only adverse results will be felt. Keeping
this in mind, Prithu Yasas also suggests, that
Chandra should be well placed at the commencement of
a Dasha period. Unfortunately, direct and sufficient
stress is not made in this work on Udu Dasha, or
Vimshottari Dasha, as the Ch. concerned has only a
couple of Slokas and is placed at the end of the
work. However, Mantreswara attaches more and due
significance to Udu Dasha and places the particular
Ch. at the head of the various Dashas in his Phala
Deepika. Does Prithu Yasas also feel otherwise, that
Udu Dasha is the most reliable, vide ch.31, Sloka
11? As Udu Dasha is found more useful and is very
popular, we ought to know the mechanism of Dasha
bhuktis and the method of finding out Dasha/Bhukti
Prarambha Kala. After finding out the exact moment,
when a Dasha, or Bhukti starts, a chart mapping the
Grahas should be erected, which should be read with
the natus to get more informative clues. Hence, I
explain the same in this Ch. itself, so that the
reader can couple it with instructions from all
other sources. Without knowing commencing time of a
period, one cannot arrive at exact results.
Only after analysis of the said rules, a wise person
should predict good, or bad results.
Thus ends the 8th Ch. called Dasha Phala Nirupana in
Horashara of Prithuyasas, son of Varah Mihira.
