1. Maitreya said. O Venerable Maharishi Parashar!
You are omniscient. There is no subject, with which
you are not conversant. Therefore now please favour
me with guidance about the different kinds of Dashas
(periods) of the various Grahas.
2-5. Maharishi Parashar replied. O Brahmin!
Dashas are of many kinds. Amongst them Vimshottari
is the most appropriate for the general populace.
But the other Dashas, followed in special cases, are
Astottari, Shodshottari, Dwadashottari, Panchottari,
Shatabdik, Chaturashiti-sama, Dwisaptati-sama,
Shastihayani, Shat-trimshat-sama. Our ancients have
described these different kinds of Dashas, based on
Nakshatras.
6-11. O Brahmin! Some Maharishis have made a
mention of Kala and Chakr Dasha, but they have
recognized the Kala Chakr Dasha, as supreme. The
other kinds of Dashas, propagated by the sages, are
Char, Sthir, Kendr, Karak, Brahma Grah, Manduk, Shul,
Yogardh, Drig, Trikon, Rashi, Panchswara, Yogini,
Pind, Nausargik, Asht Varg, Sandhya, Pachak, Tara
etc. But in our view all these Dashas are not
appropriate.
Vimshottari
12-14. Beginning from Kritika, the Lords of
Dashas are Sūrya, Candr, Mangal, Rahu, Guru, Śani,
Budh, Ketu and Śukr in that order. Thus, if the
Nakshatras from Kritika to the Janm Nakshatr are
divided by nine, the remainder will signify the Lord
of the commencing Dasha. The remaining Dashas will
be of the Grahas in the order, given above. In Kali
Yuga the natural life-span of a human being is
generally taken, as 120 years. Therefore Vimshottari
Dasha is considered to be the most appropriate and
the best of all Dashas.
15. The periods of Dashas of Sūrya, Candr, Mangal,
Rahu, Guru, Śani, Budh, Ketu and Śukr are 6, 10, 7,
18, 16, 19, 17, 7 and 20 in that order.
16. To find out the remainder of the Dasha,
operating at the time of birth, first find out the
expired portion of the Dasha of the concerned Grah.
This is done, as follows. Multiply the Dasha period
of the Grah concerned by the period of the stay of
Candr in Janm Nakshatr, that has expired and divide
that amount by the total period of the stay of Candr
in that Nakshatr. The figure in years, months etc.
so arrived at will be the expired period of the
Dasha. If this figure is deducted from the total
period of the Dasha, we will get the balance of
Dasha at the time of birth.
Ashtottari
17-20. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin, the
sages have recommended the adoption of Ashtottari,
when Rahu not being in Lagn, in any other Kendr, or
Trikon to the Lord of the Lagn. From 4 Nakshatras
from Ardra commences the Dasha of Sūrya, from 3
after that begins the Dasha of Candr, 4 after that
will bring the Dasha of Mangal, 3 after that the
Lord of Dasha will be Budh, 4 therefrom will have
Śani, as the Dasha Lord, 3 thereafter the Lord will
be Guru, Rahu will be the Lord of the Dasha 4
Nakshatras after that and then Śukr will take over
the lordship of the Dasha 3 Nakshatras from the last
one mentioned above. The Lord of the Dasha at birth
will be determined by counting in this order up to
the Janm Nakshatr. The duration of Ashtottari Dasha
for Sūrya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Śani, Guru, Rahu and
Śukr are 6, 15, 8, 17, 10, 19, 12 and 21 in that
order. Thus in this Dasha system only 8 Grahas play
the role of Dasha Lords, Ketu having been denied
this privilege.
21-22. The Dashas of the various Grahas have been
specified above. In the case of malefic Grahas the
Dasha span of one Nakshatr is ¼ of the Dasha of the
Grah. It is 1/3rd in the case of benefics.
Thus the expired portion of the Dasha is calculated,
according to the method, followed for Vimshottari
Dasha, by multiplying the Bhayat, i.e. the expired
period of the stay of Candr in the Janm Nakshatr, by
the Dasha portion of the Janm Nakshatr and dividing
it by Bhabhog, i.e. the total period of the stay of
Candr in the Janm Nakshatr. Then the balance of
Dasha at birth can also be ascertained. If
Uttarashadha happens to be the Janm Nakshatr, the
duration of its first three Padas is taken, as
Bhabhog and the Dasha calculations should be done
accordingly. The Dasha and calculations for Abhijit
Nakshatr are done by taking the 4th Pad
of Uttarashadha plus the 15th part of the
beginning of Shravan. For Shravan the Bhabhog would
be the total of its duration in Ghatikas minus the
1/15th part of the beginning of Shravan.
Shodshottari
23. It will be advisable to adopt the
Shodshottari, if the birth is in the day in Krishna
Paksh (dark half of the month), or at night in
Shukla Paksh (bright half).
24-26. The Dasha may be adopted, when the Lagn is
in the Hora of Candr with birth in the Krishna Paksh,
or, when Lagn is in the Hora of Sūrya with birth in
the Shukla Paksh. Count the number of Nakshatras
from Pushya to the Janm Nakshatr. Divide this number
by 8. The remainder will indicate the Dashas of
Sūrya, Mangal, Guru, Śani, Ketu, Candr, Budh and
Śukr. The Dashas of the above Grahas are of 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 years.
Dwadashottari
27-28. This Dasha system will be appropriate for
one, whose Lagn is in the Navāńś of Śukr. Count from
Janm Nakshatr to Revati. Divide this number by 8.
The remainder will indicate the Dasha of the Grah
concerned. The Dasha order is Sūrya, Guru, Ketu,
Budh, Rahu, Mangal, Śani, Candr. The Dashas will be
of 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21 years of the
Grahas.
Panchottari
(29-30) This Dasha is considered suitable for
those, whose Lagn is Kark and also in the Kark
Dvadashāńś. Count from Anuradha up to the Janm
Nakshatr and divide the number by 7. The remainder
will indicate the Dasha. The order of the Dasha
Lords is Sūrya, Budh, Śani, Mangal, Śukr, Candr and
Guru. The Dashas of the Grahas are 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17 and 18 years.
Shatabdik
(31-32) This Dasha system has been considered
appropriate, if Lagn is Vargottama. This happens,
when Lagn in the Rashi Kundali and the Navāńś Lagn
are in the same Rashi.
(33-34) Count from Revati to the Janm Nakshatr
and divide this number by seven. The remainder will
indicate the Lords of Dashas in this order: Sūrya,
Candr, Śukr, Budh, Guru, Mangal and Śani. Their
Dashas will be of 5, 5, 10, 10, 20, 20 and 30 years.
Chaturashiti-sama
35-36. Chaturashiti-sama Dasha is considered
appropriate in cases, where the Karm’s Lord is
placed in Karm. Count from Swati to the Janm
Nakshatr and divide this number by 7. The remainder
will indicate the Dasha Lords in the following
order: Sūrya, Candr, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Śukr and
Śani. The Dasha period of each Grah is 12 years.
Dwisaptati-sama
37-39. This Dasha system is considered suitable
in cases, where the Lord of Lagn is in Lagn, or in
Yuvati. Count from Mul to the Janm Nakshatr and
divide the number by 8. The remainder will determine
the Dasha Lords in the following order: Sūrya, Candr,
Mangal, Budh, Guru, Śukr, Śani and Rahu. In this
Dasha system all the eight Grahas have Dashas of 9
years each.
Shastihayani
40-41. This Dasha may be adopted in cases, where
Sūrya is posited in Lagn. The order of Dasha Lords
in this system is, as follows: Guru, Sūrya, Mangal,
Candr, Budh, Śukr, Śani and Rahu. The following
shows the Nakshatras, falling under the various
Dasha Lords. The Dashas of Guru, Sūrya and Mangal
are of 10 years. The remaining Grahas have Dashas of
6 years each. Guru (Ashvini, Bharani, Kritika,
Punarvasu), Sūrya (Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra,
U.Ashadha), Mangal (Pushya, Aslesha, Magha, Revati),
Candr (P.Phalguni, U.Phalguni, Hast), Budh (Swati,
Vishakah, Anuradha), Śukr (Jyeshtha, Mul, P.Ashadha),
Śani (Abhijit, Shravan, Dhanishtha), Rahu (Shatabhisha,
P.Bhadra, U.Bhadra).
Shat-trimshat-sama
42-43. Count from Shravan to the Janm Nakshatr
and divide the number by 8. The remainder 1 etc.
will indicate the Dasha Lords, whose order will be,
as follows: Candr, Sūrya, Guru, Mangal, Budh, Śani,
Śukr and Rahu. Their Dashas will be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7 and 8 years. If the birth is during the day and
Lagn is in the Hora of Sūrya and, if the birth is at
night and Lagn is in the Hora of Candr, adoption of
this system would be preferable.
Kaal
44-49. 5 Ghatikas before the sight of the
semi-disk of the setting Sūrya and 5 Ghatikas after
that and 5 Ghatikas before and after the rising of
Sūrya, that is 10 Ghatikas in the evening and 10
Ghatikas in the morning, respectively. The total
period of both these Sandhyas (twilight) is said to
be 20 Ghatikas. The 20 Ghatikas of the night have
been given the name Purna and the 20 Ghatikas of the
day have been given the name Mugdha. The Sandhya at
the time of sunrise is called Khanda and the Sandhya
at the time of sunset is said to be Sudh. Both of
these Sandhyas are of 10 Ghatikas each. If the birth
is in Purna, or Mugdha, its past Ghatikas should be
multiplied by 2 and the product should be divided by
15. The figure so arrived at should be converted
into years, months etc. By multiplying it by the
serial number of Sūrya and other Grahas in their
normal order, we will get the Kaal Dasha of these
Grahas. If the birth is during Sandhya, then its
past Ghatikas should be multiplied by 4 and the
product divided by 15. The figure so arrived at in
terms of years, months etc. should be multiplied by
the serial number of Sūrya and the other Grahas to
get the Kaal Dasha of all the nine Grahas.
Chakr
50-51. If the birth is at night, the Dasha will
commence from Lagn Rashi. If the birth is during the
day, the Dasha will start from the Rashi, in which
the Lord of Lagn is placed. If the birth is during
Sandhya, the Dasha will begin from the Rashi of the
second Bhava. The Dasha of each Rashi is 10 years.
As it is the Dasha system of the 12 Rashis in the
Zodiac, it has been named, as Chakr Dasha.
Kaal Chakr
52-53. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin! Now,
after making obedience to Lord Shiva, I shall
describe the Kala Chakr Dasha. Whatever was related
by Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvati, is being explained
by me for the use of sages to be utilized for the
welfare of the people.
54-55. By drawing vertical and horizontal lines,
prepare 2 Kundalis, Savya and Apsavya, of 12
apartments (Kosthas) each. From the second Kostha in
each Kundali fix the Rashis Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun,
Kark, Simh, Kanya, Tula, Vrischik, Dhanu, Makar,
Kumbh, Meen. Then Nakshatras may be incorporated in
the manner, indicated hereafter. These Kundalis,
indicative of the 12 Rashis, are called Kala Chakr.
56-58. Write Ashvini, Bharani and Kritika in the
Savya Chakr and Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra in the
Apsavya. Then incorporate the three following
Nakshatras, Punarvasu, Pushya and Aslesha in the
Savya and Magha, Purvaphalguni and Uttaraphalguni in
the Apsavya. Then incorporate the three following,
Hast, Chitra and Swati in the Savya and Vishakah,
Anuradha and Jyeshtha in the Apsavya. Then
incorporate Mul, Purvashadha and Uttarashadha in the
Savya and Shravan, Dhanishtha and Shatabhisha in the
Apsavya. Finally incorporate the last three
Nakshatras, Purvabhadrapad, Uttarabhadrapad and
Revati in the Savya Chakr. Now there will be 15
Nakshatras in the Savya and 12 Nakshatras in the
Apsavya, (because for the 12 Rashis there are 12
Padas of 3 Nakshatras, the Navāńśas). The Padas of
Ashvini, Punarvasu, Hast, Mul, Purvabhadrapad,
Kritika, Aslesha, Swati, Uttarashadha and Revati of
the Savya should be reckoned in the same manner, as
the Padas of Ashvini.
59. Now I shall describe in detail, how the Deha
and Jiva should be reckoned in the Padas (quarters)
of the Nakshatras.
60. In the first Pad of Ashvini Mesh is
indicative of Deha (body) and Dhanu is indicative of
Jiva (life). And the Lords of Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun,
Kark, Simh, Kanya, Tula, Vrischik and Dhanu are
Lords of the Dashas in the order, as described
before.
61. In the second Pad of Ashvini Makar is Deha
and Mithun is Jiva and the Lords of the nine Rashis
from Makar to Mithun are Lords of the Dashas.
62. In the third Pad of the ten Nakshatras,
beginning from Ashvini, Vrishabh is Deha and Mithun
is Jiva. The Lords of the Rashis Vrishabh, Mesh,
Meen, Kumbh, Makar, Dhanu, Mesh, Vrishabh and Mithun
are Lords of the Dashas in that order.
63-64. For the 4th Pad of the 10
Nakshatras, beginning from Ashvini, Kark is Deha and
Meen is Jiva and the Lords of the nine Rashis from
Kark to Meen are the Lords of Dashas.
65. In the four Padas of the 5 Nakshatras,
Bharani, Pushya, Chitra, Purvashadha and
Uttarabhadrapad, Deha and Jiva are the same, as for
Bharani.
66. In the first Pad of Bharani Vrischik is Deha
and Meen is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis
Vrischik, Tula, Kanya, Kark, Simh, Mithun, Vrishabh,
Mesh and Meen are the Lords of Dashas in this order.
67. In the 2nd Pad of Bharani Kumbh is
Deha and Kanya is Jiva and the Lords of Kumbh, Makar,
Dhanu, Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Kark, Simh and Kanya
are the Lords of Dashas in that order.
68. In the 3rd Pad of Bharani Tula is
Deha and Kanya is Jiva and Lords of the Rashis Tula,
Vrischik, Dhanu, Makar, Kumbh, Meen, Vrischik, Tula
and Kanya are the Dasha Lords in this order.
69. In the 4th Pad of Bharani Kark is
Deha and Kumbh is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis
Kark, Simh, Mithun, Vrishabh, Mesh, Meen, Kumbh,
Makar and Dhanu are the Dasha Lords in this order.
71-72. O Brahmin! I have thus given you the
description of Savya Chakr. Now I shall give the
description of Apsavya Chakr. Prepare a similar
chart of 12 apartments and from the 2nd
apartment onwards place the Rashis from Vrischik
onwards in the reverse order. In this chart Deha and
Jiva would be the same for Rohini, Magha, Vishakah
and Shravan, as for Rohini.
73-76. In the first Pad of Rohini Kark is Deha
and Dhanu is Jiva. The Lords of the Rashis Dhanu,
Makar, Kumbh, Meen, Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Simh and
Tula will be the Dasha Lords in this order. In the 2nd
Tula will be Deha and Kanya the Jiva and the Lords
of the Rashis Kanya, Tula, Vrischik, Meen, Kumbh,
Makar, Dhanu, Vrischik and Vrischik will be the
Dasha Lords. In the 3rd Kumbh will be
Deha and Kanya Jiva. The Lords of the Rashis Kanya,
Simh, Kark, Mithun, Vrishabh, Mesh, Dhanu, Makar and
Kumbh will be the Dasha Lords. In the 4th
Vrischik will be Deha and Meen Jiva and the Lords of
the Rashis Meen, Mesh, Vrishabh, Mithun, Simh, Kark,
Kanya, Tula and Vrischik will be the Lords.
77. In the 4 Padas of the Apsavya Nakshatras
Mrigashira, Ardra, Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni,
Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Dhanishtha and Shatabhisha the
Deha and Jiva and the Dasha Lords will be the same,
as for Mrigashira.
78-81. In the first Pad of Mrigashira Kark is
Deha and Meen is Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis
Meen, Kumbh, Makar, Dhanu, Vrischik, Tula, Kanya,
Simh and Kark will be the Dasha Lords in this order.
In the 2nd Vrishabh is Deha and Mithun is
Jiva and the Lords of the Rashis Mithun, Vrishabh,
Mesh, Dhanu, Makar, Kumbh, Meen, Mesh and Vrishabh
will be the Dasha Lords. In the 3rd Makar
is Deha and Mithun is Jiva and the Lords of the
Rashis Mithun, Simh, Kark, Kanya, Tula, Vrischik,
Meen, Kumbh and Makar will be the Dasha Lords. In
the 4th Mesh will be Deha and Dhanu Jiva
and the Lords of the Rashis Dhanu, Vrischik, Tula,
Kanya, Simh, Kark, Mithun, Vrishabh and Mesh will be
the Dasha Lords.
82. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin! The
description of the Deha and Jiva of the Padas of the
Apsavya Nakshatras and the Dasha Lords is the same,
as narrated by Lord Mahadeva to Goddess Parvati.
83. Maitreya said. O Venerable Maharishi Parashar!
Now please guide me about the Dasha spans of the
Dasha Lords, described by you. Please also
demonstrate, how the commencement of the Dasha, its
expired and the remaining periods at the birth are
to be calculated.
84. Maharishi Parashar said. 5, 21, 7, 9, 10, 16
and 4 years are the Dasha spans of Sūrya, Candr,
Mangal, Budh, Guru, Śukr and Śani.
85-86. The span of life of a person is determined
from the Padas (Ańśas) of the Nakshatr at the time
of birth, or the time of query and the years
allotted to the 9 Rashis, commencing from it (the
Pad of the Nakshatr). Some sages are of the view,
that the person will enjoy full span of life (Purna
Ayu), if his birth is at the commencement of the
Padas, will have middle span of life (Madhaya Ayu),
if the birth is in the middle of the Padas and short
span of life (‘Alap Ayu’), or will face death-like
sufferings, if the birth is at the end of the Padas
of the Nakshatr.
87-88. According to this principle, we should be
acquainted with the Padas of the Nakshatras. Now I
shall tell you, how the calculations are made,
according to the proportion of the Padas of a
Nakshatr. The number of Ashvini etc., whichever may
be the past Nakshatras, should be divided by 3.
Thereafter the remainder should be multiplied by 4.
To the figure so made available the Pad of the
present Nakshatr should be added. The product will
be the Navāńś from Mesh onwards.
89. The number of years (Purna Ayu) are, as
under. For the Ańś in Mesh 100 years, in Vrishabh 85
years, in Mithun 83 years, in Kark 86 years. The
number of years will be the same for Rashis,
situated the 5th and 9th to
them.
90-91. Multiply the past Ghatikas, Palas etc. of
the Pad of the Nakshatr, in which a person is born,
by the existing Dasha years and divide it by 15. The
result will indicate the expired period of the Dasha
in years, months etc. By deducting it from the total
number of years allotted, we get the balance of
Dasha at birth. The Dasha should be taken, as
commencing from that Rashi.
92. Multiply the past Ghatikas, Palas etc. of the
present Pad of the Nakshatr by the number of years
and divide the product by the fourth part of Bhabhog.
The years etc. so obtained may then be deducted from
the total Dasha period. The result will be the
balance of Dasha at birth in years, months etc.
93. The past Kalas (minutes) of the Navāńś, in
which Candr may be placed, should be multiplied by
the years, allotted to the Dasha and the product
should be divided by 200. The resulting years etc.
will be the expired portion of the Dasha. By
deducting them from the total number of years the
balance of the Dasha at birth is obtained.
94-95. In the Savya Chakr the first Ańś is called
Deha and the last Jiva. The opposite is the case in
the Apsavya Chakr. Therefore the calculations should
be based on the Deha etc. in the Savya Chakr and on
the Jiva etc. in Apsavya.
We give below the Savya and Apsavya Kaal Chakr
Charts. For Example. The birth is in Mrigashira 4th
Pad. It is in the Apsavya Kaal Chakr. The Lord of
Deha is Mangal and that of Jiva is Guru. The Bhabhog
of Mrigashira is 59/31 (59 Ghatikas 31 Palas) and
Bhayat is 58/15 (58 Ghatikas 15 Palas). ¼ of the
Bhabhog comes to 14/52/44. That would be the value
of one Pad. Multiplying this by 3 will get Ghatikas
of 3 Padas, namely 44/38/15. Deducting this from
Bhayat, the past Ghatikas, Palas etc. of the 4th
Pad will be 13/36/45. The full Dasha years are 100.
Multiplying this by 13/36/45 we get 1300/3600/4500 =
1361/15. This divided by 15 will give the expired
period at birth, namely 90 years and 9 months. See
the Kaal Chakr. There we count from Jiva etc. to
Deha. In the 4th Pad of Mrigashira Jiva
is in Dhanu and Deha in Mesh. Therefore, by
deducting the total of years from Dhanu to Mithun,
namely 77, from 90 years 9 months, we get the
expired period of Vrishabh, namely 13 years and 9
months. By deducting this from the present 16 years
of Śukr, we will get 2 years and 3 months, as the
balance of Dasha at birth. Accordingly, like
Vimshottari Dasha, the order of Dasha will be
Vrishabh, Mesh, Dhanu, Vrischik etc.
For Example. Suppose, that at the time of birth
of a person in Kritika Nakshatr the longitude of
Candr (Candr Spast) is 1r4°50’. This
converted into Kalas will be 2090 at birth. The
Dasha should be taken, as commencing from that.
Divide the Kalas by 800 (1 Nakshatr). The result
will be the 2nd Nakshatr, namely Bharini
and the remainder will be 490. These will be the
past Kalas of Kritika. There are 200 Kalas in one
Pad (Navāńś). Divide 490, the past Kalas of Kritika,
by 200. We will then get 2, as past Padas and the
remainder 90 will represent the past Kalas of the
present Nakshatr. By multiplying this by 83, the
Dasha years, we will get 7470, which, divided by
200, will indicate the expired portion of the Dasha,
as 37 years, 4 months and 6 days. By deducting the
years of Dehāńś, commencing from Vrishabh, in the
order Vrishabh, Mesh, Meen, Kumbh (16+7+10+4 = 37),
we will get 0 years, 4 months and 6 days. This will
be the expired portion of Makar. Deducting this from
4, the Dasha period of Makar, we get the balance of
the Dasha of Makar, namely 3 years, 7 months and 24
days. See in this connection the Savya Kaal Chakr.
Gati of Rashis in the Kaal Chakr
96-98. There are three kinds of movements (Gati)
of the Rashis in the Kaal Chakr, namely Manduki,
Markati and Simhavlokan. The movement of one Rashi
by jumping over one Rashi is known, as Manduki Gati.
Backward movement to the previous Rashi is called
Markati Gati. The movement of a Rashi to the 5th
and 9th Rashi is said to be Simhavlokan.
99-100. Movement from Kanya to Kark and from Simh
to Mithun is Manduki Gati. Movement from Simh to
Kark is Markati Gati. Movement from Meen to Vrischik
and from Dhanu to Mesh is called Simhavlokan Gati.
Effects of Dashas of Rashis, as a Result of
these Gati
101-102. The effects of the Dasha of the Rashis
with Manduki Gati in the Savya Chakr are distress to
friends, relations, parents and elders and there is
likely to be cause for trouble from poison, weapons,
thieves and enemies. In the Manduki Dasha of the
Gati of a Rashi from Simh to Mithun there is the
likelihood of the death of the mother, or self,
trouble from Government and possibility of brain
fever.
103. The effects of the Dasha of Rashi with
Markati Gati in the Savya Chakr are loss of wealth,
agricultural products and animals, death of father,
or an elderly close relation and feeling of
lethargy.
104-105. The effects of the Dasha of the Rashis
with Simhavlokan Gati in the Savya Chakr are
possibility of injury from animals, loss of amity
with friends, distress to near relations, drowning
in a well, fall from animals, possibility of harm
from poison, weapons and diseases and destruction of
residential dwelling.
106-108. In the Dasha of the Rashis with the
Manduki Gati in the Apsavya Chakr the effects will
be distress to wife and conditions, loss of
children, possibility of feverish conditions and
loss of position. In the Dasha of the Rashis with
the Markati Gati there may be danger from watery
places, loss of position, distress from father,
punishment from Government and wandering in the
forests; with the Simhavlokan there may be
destruction of the dwelling and death of father etc.
109-111. If the movement is from Meen to Vrischik,
the native may suffer from fever; if from Kanya to
Kark, there may be loss of brothers and kinsmen; if
from Simh to Mithun, there may be ill health of the
wife; if from Simh to Kark, the native may die; if
from Dhanu to Mesh, there may be death of uncles and
similar relations. If the Rashi is yuti with a
malefic, adverse conditions may be expected in the
Dasha of the Rashi. Favourable effects will be felt
in its Dasha, if the Rashi is yuti with a benefic.
112-113. O Brahmin! In the Kaal Chakr Dasha
favourable and unfavourable effects may be
predicted, after taking into account the directions
of the Rashis and Grahas.
114-119. If the movement is from Kanya to Kark,
good results are realized in places, located in the
East and at that time journeys to the places in the
North prove fruitful. Unfavourable effects will be
felt in places, located in the West and the South.
It will be advisable not to undertake journeys in
those directions in the Dasha of these Rashis. If
the movement is from Simh to Mithun, no journey
should be undertaken to places, located in the East.
However, the journeys to the South-West will prove
fruitful in the Dasha of those Rashis. If the
movement is from Kark to Simh, journeys during that
period to the South will prove unfavourable and
result in loss and the native has to return from the
South to the West. If the movement is from Meen to
Vrischik, there will distress, if the native goes to
the North. The same would happen, if the movement is
from Dhanu to Makar. There may be ill health,
imprisonment, or death, if the movement is from
Dhanu to Mesh. There may be gains, comforts and
property and marriage, if the movement is from Dhanu
to Vrischik. It will not be advisable to undertake
journeys to the West during the related period, if
the movement is from Simh to Kark. Favourable
results should be predicted, if the Rashis are yuti
with benefics and adverse, if the Rashis are yuti
with malefics.
120-122. According to the above-mentioned Kaal
Chakr, the person, born in the Ańśas of the various
Rashis, will be, as under. Mesh Ańś brave and a
thief, Vrishabh wealthy, Mithun learned, Kark king,
Simh respected by king, Kanya learned, Tula
minister, or adviser, Dhanu sinful, Kumbh
businessman, Meen wealthy.
123-128. If the Deha, or Jiva Rashis are yuti
with Sūrya, Mangal, Śani, or Rahu, the native will
die. Worse results may be expected, if the Deha and
Jiva Rashis are yuti with two, or all of them. If
there is a malefic in Deha Rashi, the native suffers
ill health; a malefic in a Jiva Rashi will make the
native very timid. If the Deha and/or Jiva Rashi are
yuti with two malefics, there will be distress and
diseases. Three malefics in the Deha and/or Jiva
Rashi will cause premature death. Four malefics in
the Deha and Jiva Rashi will cause definite death.
If both the Deha and Jiva Rashis are occupied by
malefics, there will be fear from king and thieves
and death of the native. If Sūrya is in the Deha, or
Jiva Rashi, there will be danger from fire. Candr in
the Deha, or Jiva Rashi will cause danger from
water, Mangal fear from weapons, Budh fear from
windy troubles, Śani fear from Gulma (a disease),
Rahu and Ketu fear from poison. If the Deha, or Jiva
Rashis are occupied by Budh, Guru and Śukr, the
native will be wealthy, will enjoy all kinds of
comforts and will have good health. Mixed results
may be expected, if the Deha and Jiva Rashis are
occupied by both benefics and malefics.
129-130. In the Dasha of the Rashis, owned by
malefics, the body and soul will be in distress. The
effects will be favourable in the Dasha of the
Rashis, owned by benefics. If a malefic Rashi is
occupied by a benefic Grah, or, if a benefic Rashi
is occupied by a malefic Grah, the effects will be
of a mixed nature.
Effects of Kaal Chakr Dasha of the Rashis in
Lagn and other Bhavas.
131-132. In the Kaal Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in
Lagn the body remains healthy and the native spends
a life with many kinds of comforts. If the Lagn
Rashi is a benefic one, the good effects are
realized fully. If the Lagn Rashi is a malefic Rashi,
there is likelihood of ill health. If a Grah in
exaltation, or in its own Rashi occupies Lagn, the
native is respected by the king, or government and
acquires wealth.
133-134. In the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Dhan
the native receives good food, enjoys happiness of
wife and children, gains wealth, achieves progress
in the educational sphere, becomes a clever
conversationalist and moves in good society. If the
Rashi be a benefic, good effects are realized in
full, otherwise the effects would be of a mixed
nature.
135-136. Happiness from co-borns, valour,
patience, comforts, acquisition of gold, ornaments
and clothes and recognition by the king, or
government, are the effects in the Kaal Chakr Dasha
of the Rashi in Sahaj. If the Rashi is a benefic,
the good results are realized in full, otherwise
adverse effects may also be experienced.
137-138. Good relations with kinsmen, acquisition
of land, houses, or a kingdom, conveyances and
clothes and enjoyment of sound health, are the
effects of the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Bandhu.
If the Rashi is a benefic one, the good effects are
realized in full. If it is a malefic Rashi, adverse
results are also experienced.
139-140. Being blessed with wife and children,
favours from Government, enjoyment of sound health,
good relations with friends, achievement of fame,
good progress in the educational sphere, patience
and valour are the effects of the Chakr Dasha of the
Rashi in Putr. If the Rashi is a benefic one, the
good results are enjoyed in full. If the Rashi is a
malefic one, adverse effects are also experienced.
141-142. Danger from the king, fire and weapons
and the possibility of suffering from diabetes,
Gulma and jaundice are the effects in the Chakr
Dasha of the Rashi in Ari. If the Rashi is a malefic
one, the above adverse effects will be experienced
in full. There will be some mitigation of the evil
effects in the case of a benefic Rashi.
143-144. Marriage, conjugal happiness, being
blessed with children, gain of agricultural
products, cows and clothes, favours and recognition
from the king and achievement of fame, are the
effects in the Chakr Dasha of the Rashi in Yuvati.
The beneficial results will be experienced in full,
if the Rashi is a benefic one. Meagre good effects
will be realized in the case of a malefic Rashi.
145-146. Destruction of a residential house,
distress, loss of wealth, poverty and danger from
enemies are the effects of the Chakr Dasha of the
Rashi in Randhr. The adverse effects will be
realized in full, if the Rashi is a malefic one.
Some mitigation in evil effects may be expected in
the case of a benefic Rashi.
(147-157) …
…Char
158-166. Now I will tell you about the working
out of the Dasha years of Vrischik and Kumbh. If
both the Lords of the two Rashis, Vrischik and
Kumbh, are placed in their own Rashis, their Dasha
will be of 12 years. Otherwise the Dasha will be of
the number of years, indicated by the number,
counted from that Rashi to the Rashi, occupied by
its Lord. If one Grah be in his own Rashi and the
other in any other Rashi, the Dasha will be of the
number of years counted, from the above first Rashi
to the other. If the Lords are in different Rashis,
the counting is to be done up to the Rashi, which is
stronger. The Rashi, which has a Grah, placed in it,
is considered more powerful than the Rashi without a
Grah in it. If both are with Grahas in them, the one
with more Grahas would be considered more powerful.
If both Rashis are occupied by an equal number of
Grahas, the strength of the Rashi itself should be
taken into account. The principle for considering
the Bal of the Rashi is, that the Fixed Rashi is
considered stronger than the Movable one and the
Dual Rashi is considered more powerful than the
Fixed Rashi. If there is equality in the strength of
the Rashis, then to determine the number of years of
Dasha counting should be done up to the Rashi with
bigger number. If one Rashi is occupied by a Grah in
exaltation, the counting should be done up to that
Rashi only. In addition 1 should be added in the
number of years in the case of a Rashi with an
exalted Grah and 1 should be deducted from the
number of years in the case of a Rashi with a Grah
in debilitation. The prediction should be made after
calculating the Dashas in this manner.
167. If the Rashi in Dharm Bhava is in an odd
Pad, the counting should be from the Rashi in the
Lagn onwards. The counting would be in the reverse
order, if the Pad is even. The Dashas of Rashis have
to be fixed, keeping this in view.
For Example. In the above Tula is the Rashi in
Dharm Bhava in an odd Pad. Amongst the Lords of
Lagn, Śani and Rahu, Rahu is associated with a Grah.
Therefore Rahu is more powerful than, Śani.
Therefore counting should be done up to Rahu. Kumbh
is in even Pad, therefore counting has to be done
from Kumbh up to Rahu in the reverse order, by which
the Char Dasha for Kumbh would come to 8 years. Mesh
is in odd Pad. Therefore the Char Dasha for Mesh
will be one year. The Dasha of other Rashis should
be calculated in the same manner.
Sthir
168-169. Maharishi Parashar said. Now I am going
to describe the Sthir Dasha. In this Dasha system 7,
8 and 9 years are the Dasha spans of the Movable
(Char), Fixed (Sthir) and Dual (Dvisva Bhava)
Rashis. In this system the Dasha of the 12 Rashis
begins from the Brahm Grah Ashrit Rashi. The Dashas
are counted onwards from the odd Rashis and in the
reverse order from the even Rashis.
170-173. Maitreya said. O great Sage! Now please
enlighten me how the Brahm Grah is picked out in a
chart. Maharishi Parashar said. From amongst the
Lords of Ari, Randhr and Vyaya the Grah, who may
possess the greatest strength and is placed in Lagn,
or in Yuvati with strength, the one, placed in an
odd Rashi within sixth Bhava from the Bhava
concerned, is called the Brahm Grah. The Lord of
Randhr in Randhr is also accepted, as Brahm Grah. If
Śani, or Rahu/Ketu obtain Brahmatva (qualifications
of Brahm Grah), they become Brahm Grah. If a number
of Grahas obtain Brahmatva, the one with the largest
number of degrees would become Brahm Grah. If there
is parity in the degrees of such Grahas, the most
powerful amongst them would become Brahm Grah.
Yogardha
174. The spans of Dashas of the Rashis in the
Yogardha Dasha system are half of the total of the
spans of Char and Sthir Dashas. The Dasha will
commence from the Rashi of Lagn, or Yuvati,
whichever is stronger. The order of the Dashas of
the 12 Rashis will be counted onwards, if the
opening Dasha Rashi is an odd one. If it be an even
Rashi, the Dashas will be in reverse order.
Kendradi
175-176. In this system there are Dashas of Fixed
Rashis in the Kendr etc. from Lagn, or from Yuvati,
whichever is stronger. If Lagn, or Yuvati with
strength is placed in an odd Rashi, the Kendr etc.
are counted in the onward order. If it be in an even
Rashi, the counting will be in the backward, or
reverse order. In them also the Dashas would be in
the order of comparative strength of the Rashis. The
order of Dashas would be the same, as reckoned from
the Atma Karak. The spans of Dashas would be the
same, as they are in the Char Dasha. In calculating
the years of Dashas of Grahas, counting is done from
the Grah to his own Rashi. The years of Dashas would
be the number, arrived at by counting up to the
Rashi of the Grah, which is stronger, or more in
number.
177. If a Grah owns two Rashis, the Dasha years
will be equal to the number, which is greater, when
counted from the Rashi, occupied by him.
Notes. Under this system Dashas are of two kinds,
namely Lagn Kendradi and Atma Karak Kendradi. There
are also Kendradi Rashi Dasha, or Kendradi Grah
Dasha in both the Dasha systems, mentioned above.
Karak
178. The system, under which the first Dasha is
of the Atma Karak and the subsequent Dashas are of
the remaining 7 Karakas in their order is known, as
Karak Dasha. In this system the Dasha years are
equal to the number of Rashis, counted from Lagn up
to the Karak concerned.
Manduk
179-180. Under the Manduk Dasha system the Dasha
commences from Lagn, or Yuvati Bhava, whichever is
stronger. If the Rashi of commencement is an odd
Rashi, the Dashas of 3 Movable, 3 Fixed and 3 Dual
Rashis will be counted in the onwards order. They
will be in the reverse order in the case of an even
Rashi. In this system the Dasha years will be the
same, as in Sthir Dasha. In this system every Dasha
is of the next 3rd Rashi.
Shula
181-182. Some sages have designed the Shula Dasha
for determining the time of death. In this system
the Dasha commences from Dhan, or Randhr, whichever
is stronger. If the Rashi is an odd one, the order
of the Dasha Rashis will be onwards. It will be
backwards in the case of an even Rashi. The Dasha
years in this system are, as adopted for the Sthir
Dasha. There is a possibility, that death appears in
the Dasha of the Marak Rashi, which has greater
strength.
Trikon
183-184. In this system the first Dasha commences
from the strongest amongst the Rashis in Kon
(Trikon) to Lagn (Tanu, Putr and Dharm). This system
is similar to the Char Dasha. Here also the Dashas
of the Rashis will be in the onwards order in the
case of odd Rashis and in the reverse order in the
case of even Rashis. The Dasha years will be similar
to that of Char Dasha. It has been named Trikon
because of the commencement of the Dasha from the
Rashis in Konas.
Dirga
185-187. In this system the order of the Dashas
is, as follows: the Rashi, occupying Dharm, the
Rashis, receiving a Drishti from the Rashi in Dharm,
the Rashi in Karm, the Rashis, receiving a Drishti
from the Rashi in Karm, the Rashi in Labh and the
Rashis, receiving a Drishti from the Rashi in Labh.
As this system is mostly based on Drishtis, it has
been named, as Dirga Dasha. Three different
processes are adopted for the Movable, Fixed and
Dual Rashis from Dharm, Karm and Labh. According to
them, Rashi, which receives a Drishti from the
Movable Rashi, is counted backwards and the Rashi,
receiving a Drishti from the Fixed Rashi, is counted
onwards. In the case of the Dual Rashi, if it is
odd, the counting is onwards and the order is
backwards in case of an even Rashi for the Rashis,
receiving a Drishti.
Notes. The intention is, that from the point of
view of Drishti the process of Rashi, receiving a
Drishti, should be started from the Rashi, which is
nearest. In this connection readers may refer to
Rashi Drishtikathan Adhyaya, Ch. 8, Verse 9 and the
table after that.
Lagnadi Rashi Dasha
188-189. In this system there are Dashas of all
the 12 Rashis, including Lagn, in every Nakshatr.
Consequently the Bhayat at birth may be multiplied
by 12 and then the product should be divided by
Bhabhog. The Rashi, degree etc. so available may be
added to the longitude of Lagn. From the Rashi,
becoming available by doing so, will start the
Dashas of the 12 Rashis. (If that Rashi is odd, the
counting will be onwards. It will be in the reverse
order, if the Rashi is even)
190. For finding the balance of Dasha at birth,
multiply the expired degree etc. by the Dasha years
of the first Dasha Rashi and divide it by 30. The
years etc. so arrived at may be deducted from the
Dasha years. The result will indicate the balance of
Dasha at birth in years, months etc.
Panch Swar Dasha
191-194. Beginning from Akaradhi 5 Swaras (a, i,
u, e, o), write underneath them the Varnas in 6
lines. Leave out the letters ‘ňa’, ‘ña’ and ‘ņa’,
because they are not used in names. If they are
found in any name, ‘ga’ may be substituted for ‘ňa’,
‘ja’ for ‘ña’ and ‘da’ for ‘ņa’ for working out the
Dashas and making predictions. In this manner the
Swar, under which the first Varna of the name of the
native is found, will determine the order of the
Dashas of the five Swaras. Dashas are of 12 years
for all the five Swaras. In the Dasha of every Swar
there will be Antar Dashas of all the five Swaras in
the same order.
Yogini
195-199. Maharishi Parashar said. O Brahmin! I
have already given you the description of Panch Swar
Dasha. Now I will acquaint you with the Yogini
Dasha, as described by Lord Mahadeva. There are 8
Yoginis, namely Mangal, Pingal, Dhanya, Bhramari,
Bhadrika, Ulka, Siddha and Sankat.
Candr, Sūrya, Guru, Mangal, Budh, Śani, Śukr and
Rahu are born from them. Add 3 to the Janm Nakshatr
and divide it by 8. The remainder will indicate the
Yogini Dasha of Mangal, etc. The Dashas are of 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 years. The balance of Dasha at
birth should be worked out from the Bhayat and
Bhabhog etc., as already explained earlier.
Pind, Ańś and Nisarg
201-202. The Pind, Ańś and Nisarg Dasha will be
the same, as Pindayu, Ańśayu and Nisargayu, the
method of determination of which has already been
explained previously. The order of Dashas will be,
as follows. The first will be of Lagn, Sūrya, or
Candr, whoever is stronger. The subsequent Dashas
will be of Grahas in Kendr to them, then of Grahas
in Panaphara Bhavas and lastly in Apoklima Bhavas.
The Dashas and Antar Dashas of Lagn and the seven
Grahas will also be in the same order.
203. The effects of these Dashas will be in
accordance with Ashtak Varg Bal, which subject will
be dealt with later. These Dashas are also called
Ashtak Varg Dashas.
Sandhya
204. Sandhya is the Dvadashāńś Ayurdaya of the
Param Ayurdaya (maximum possible life-span). In
Sandhya Dasha the Dasha of all the Rashis from Lagn
onwards is of 1/12 the years of Param Ayurdaya.
Pachak Dasha in Sandhya Dasha
205-206. By multiplying the Dasha years of
Sandhya Dasha by 6 and dividing the product by 31,
the years, months etc. so arrived at may be put in
one apartment of a Table. Thereafter half of these
years, months etc. may be written in the next three
apartments. The remaining 8 apartments may be filled
in by one third of the aforesaid years, months etc.
In this manner Pachak Dasha in Sandhya Dasha of
every Bhava can be worked out and predictions may be
made from it.
Tar
207-209. O Brahmin! Some sages have given
consideration to Tar Dasha, which is like
Vimshottari. In this Dasha Janm, Sampat etc. in
their order replace Sūrya, Candr etc., placed in
Kendras. This Dasha is applied in those cases only,
where there are Grahas in Kendras. If there are a
number of Grahas, the first Dasha will belong to the
strongest amongst them.
210. O Brahmin! I have now completed the
description of the different kinds of Dashas. I will
give the description of their Antar Dashas
(sub-periods) later.
