Ch. 41. Moola Dasa
1. The Dasa duration of a planet is equal to the
number of years it contributes (as per Moola Dasa
scheme). All planets yield in their Dasas pleasant,
or unpleasant results according to their (natal)
dispositions.
2. ORDER OF THE SCHEME. According to Manitha, those,
who are born during day time will have the Dasas
commencing with that of the Sun, while the
night-born will have it from that of Venus. But this
view is not acceptable to other preceptors.
3. SATYA'S VIEW. The first Dasa will be of the
strongest of the Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon
followed by the ones in Angle, Panaphara and
Apoklima. This is the view held by Satyacharya.
4-5. The first Dasa will be of the strongest of the
Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon. Then the planets in
Angles will be Dasa Lords. Thereafter the planets in
Panapharas (2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th Houses) will lord
over the major periods, while the last Dasas will be
headed by the planets posited in Apoklimas (3rd,
6th, 9th and 12th Houses). If Angles etc. are
occupied by more than one planet, the strongest will
have its Dasa first. Even, if the strengths of these
be identical, then the order will be according to
maximum years donated by these planets Granting,
that these durations are also similar, then the
risings of planets will prevail, Even, if one of the
triad, viz. the Ascendant, the Sun and the Moon, is
strong, then Satya's scheme, as above should be
resorted to. If none is strong enough, then the Dasa
scheme of other preceptors may be considered.
6. AUSPICIOUS PERIODS. Planets in exaltation, own
Rasi, own Navansa, friendly Sign, possessing full
rays and those with full strength prove auspicious
in their Dasas. At the commencement of a Dasa a
planet, that is strong, or is in a friendly
division, or is in aspect to a benefic will also
yield similar good results.
7. INAUSPICIOUS PERIODS. The planet, that is in its
Sign of fall, Sign ruled by an enemy, Navansa of an
enemy, combust in the Sun, devoid of splendour, or
is in aspect to malefics will yield inauspicious
effects in its Dasa.
8. If a planet has departed from its exaltation, its
Dasa is known, as Avarohini (stepping down) Dasa.
If, however, it is in own, or friendly divisions,
the effects will be medium, i.e. neither good nor
bad. The Dasa of a planet approaching its
exaltation, departing from debilitation, is known,
as Arohini (climbing) Dasa. If the said planet is in
inimical, or debilitation divisions, it will inflict
difficulties.
9. The Sun is the ripener (or baker) of the effects
of a Dasa, while the Moon is the sustaining agent.
That is why the Moon's transit position at the time
of the commencement of a Dasa should be duly
considered.
10-14. EFFECTS OF THE MOON. If the Moon at the
commencement of a Moola Dasa is in Virgo, the native
throughout the period will be related to courtesans
and be associated with them. This view is held by
Yavanas. If she is in Cancer at the beginning of
Dasa, the native will gain wealth through virtuous
ladies. If in Aries, or in Scorpio he will injure
the honour of virgins and also bring evils to his
own female. If the Sign in question be of Mercury
knowledge of Shastras and acquisition of friends
will come to pass. In a Sign of Venus, it brings
plenty of food and drinks, happiness and destruction
of enemies. In a House of Jupiter, it brings
happiness, wealth, honour and commandability.
Saturn's Sign endows with association with old
ladies. Leo denotes movements in forts and forests,
agriculture and misunderstanding with wife and
children. These are the effects accruing out of the
Moon's placement at the commencement of a Dasa.
15. ASPECTS TO MOON AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF A DASA.
If the Moon at the commencement of a Dasa receives
the aspect of Mars, or Saturn there will be loss of
relatives and of wealth followed by diseases.
Mercury's aspect confers learning, while the aspects
of other planets will give effects according to
their nature.
16. MAJOR LORD'S PLACEMENT AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF A
DASA. If the Lord of the Dasa is in the Ascendant
prevailing at the moment the Dasa begins, or in the
3rd, 6th, 10th, or 11th from the said Ascendant, the
Dasa then proves excellent.
17-18. AGAIN MOON'S PLACEMENT. If the Moon at the
commencement of a major period occupy a friendly
Sign, exaltation Sign, or an Upachaya House (3rd,
6th, 10th, or 11th House), 5th, 9th, or 7th counted
from the major Lord, good effects will come to pass
in the Dasa in question. If the Moon is otherwise
placed, even a planet in exaltation at birth will
give inauspicious results in its Dasa.
19. SPECIAL EFFECTS BASED ON NAVANSA. Even though a
planet may be in friendly Sign, if it occupies
simultaneously a Navansa belonging to its enemy, or
be in fall in Navansa, the effects in the Dasa
concerned will be mixed. A weak planet's Dasa will
be futile.
20. LAGNA DASA. The Ascendant's major period will
prove auspicious, if it is in the first decanate of
a Movable Sign; medium in the second decanate and
poor in the 3rd decanate. The reverse is true with a
Common Sign ascending, i e. third, second and first
decanate will, respectively, be auspicious, medium
and poor. As for a Fixed Sign ascending first,
second and third decanates will, respectively, give
poor, auspicious and medium effects.
21. NAISARGIKA DASA. The Naisargika Dasa follows in
the order of the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus,
Jupiter, the Sun, Saturn and the Ascendant.
22-24. If the planet is exalted, or is endowed with
temporal strength, or full strength, in its Dasa
incomparably auspicious results will come to pass.
The planet, that is in its own Sign, Moolatrikona
Sign, own Navansa, or hemmed between benefics will
yield moderately auspicious effects. The planet,
that is going towards its exaltation (departing from
Sign of its fall), or is placed in friendly Signs
etc., feebly auspicious effects will be felt.
Similar deductions should be made in regard to
planets otherwise placed.
25-26. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE SUN'S DASA. If the Sun
is favourable, in his Dasa, there will be gains from
forests, medicines, travels, poison, evil
friendship, forests, ivory, skin, fire and royal
association. Courage, diligence, intelligence, fame
and valour will be on the increase. Excellence and
kingship will be achieved by the native.
27-28. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE SUN'S DASA. If the Sun is
adverse, in his Dasa there will be grief on account
of servants, wealth, theft, eyes, weapons, fire,
water and king and the native will be tormented by
children, wife and relatives He will be interested
in sinful acts and be troubled by hunger, thirst (or
morbid fever), heart ailments, bilious diseases and
bodily damages.
29-30˝. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE MOON'S DASA. If the
Moon is favourable, in her Dasa there will be gains
through female association, soft disposition,
journey, water, ice, milk, juice, jaggery, sugar,
sports, initiation into Mantras through Brahmins,
flowers, robes, sweet food etc. He will achieve
success in his undertakings out of his intelligence,
will receive honours from elders and the king and
will be endowed with increased courage and wisdom.
31-32. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE MOON'S DASA. If the Moon
is evil, in her Dasa there will be fear in family,
misunderstanding with one's family members,
difficulties, loss of wealth, enmity with royal
assembly, sleep, indolence, evils through women and
grief.
33-34. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE MARS DASA. During the
Dasa of favourable Mars, one will gain through
kings, fire, thieves, enemies, snakes, poison,
weapons, confinements, fictitious articles, lands,
goats, buffaloes, copper, gold, prostitutes,
gambling, intoxicants, pungent articles/juices,
wealth and grains.
35-36 EFFECTS OF ADVERSE MARS DASA. During the Dasa
of evil Mars, there will be enmity with friends,
wife, children and brothers, sufferances from
thirst, swooning, bloody defects, loss of limbs and
wounds. There will be attachment to others' wives
and irreligious acts, followed by aversion to elders
and to truth. Bilious excesses will trouble the
subject.
37-39. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE MERCURY DASA. In the
Dasa of favourable Mercury, there will be gains via
friends, children, wealth, king, businessmen,
priests, gambling etc. The native will acquire
horses, lands, gold, fame, ambassadorship, limitless

success in religious activities, fond of amusement,
destruction of foes and enthusiasm in mathematics
and drawings.
40. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE MERCURY S DASA. If Mercury is
evil, in the concerned Dasa the native will be
tormented by imbalances of the three temperaments
(viz. bile, phlegm and wind), hard disposition,
imprisonment, mental grief and excitement.
41-43. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE JUPITER'S DASA. If
Jupiter is favourable, the native in that Dasa will
gain through ministers (or advisers), kings, dances
and states manship. He will gain honours, virtues,
courage, wide friend ship, life partner, gold,
quadrupeds, conveyances, auspicious acts,
destruction of enemies, royal acquiantance and will
obtain wealth through public, king, businessmen and

44. EFFECTS OF ADVERSE JUPITER'S DASA. If Jupiter be
inauspicious one will in such Dasa have physical
defects, excessive grief, lameness, diseases of the
stomach and ears, loss of semen and marrow and fear
from kings.
45-46. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE VENUS DASA. If Venus is
auspicious one will in the Dasa be successful and

garlands, robes, good food, fame, happiness and
treasure. He will have liking for music, will
develop acqaintance with females, will gain through
kings and lands, will derive wisdom, desired
happiness and friends and gains through articles
used for sexual enjoyments.
47. EFFECTS OF UNFAVORABLE VENUS DASA. If Venus is
inauspicious the native will in the Dasa have
litigations with virtuous people, will have troubles
from conveyances, furniture, females and kings and
will develop intimacy with unsocial elements.
48-49. EFFECTS OF FAVOURABLE SATURN'S DASA. If
Saturn is favourable in his Dasa the native will
gain camels, asses etc., association with unchaste,
or old ladies, gain through pulses, sesamum and
grains eaten by poor people, leadership over
villages and iron etc. His people will acquire a
permanent position.

excitement, enmity, separation from wife and other
family members, loss in battles, liking for
intoxicants and gambling, windy diseases, loss of
meritorious acts, confinement, lassitude, affliction
to limbs and enmity with children and servants.
52. The good and bad effects for the Dasas have been
explained above in a general manner. Narrated below
are the effects arising out of special
considerations.
53. SUN'S DASA. There are five kinds of placements,
which enable us to derive five different types of
Sun's Dasa. These positions are: exaltation, fall,
Moolatrikona, Angle and enemy's Sign.
54-59. The Sun in Ascendant gives kingdom during his
Dasa; while posited in other Kendras ruled by
inimical planets there will be disorders of hip,
throat and eyes. Debilitated Sun in his Dasa causes
destruction of eyes, fever and head disorders,
confinement, leprosy and other disorders. If the Sun
is exalted, there will be gain of kingdom with royal
insignia in such Dasa. Apart, there will be
acquisition of elephants, steeds etc. The Dasa of
the Sun placed in his Moolatrikona will indicate
destruction of all kinds of miseries and leadership
of large provinces. In the Dasa of the Sun placed in
inimical Sign, one will incur affliction of eyes,
hump-back, disorders caused by fire, facial diseases
and humiliation due to misconduct. The 8th House
placement of the Sun will cause in his Dasa
affliction to the entire body and wanderings in
various countries.
60-65. MOON'S DASA. The Moon's Dasa is generally
differentiated in six categories, viz. exalted,
debilitated, friendly Sign, inimical Sign and
diminishing and increasing Moon's Dasas. The
different dignities of the Moon give following
results in the Dasa concerned: exaltedkingdom,
debilitated death, inimical Sign confinement,
friendly Sign association with own men, decreasing
Moon fever and disorders of abdomen, head and eyes.
If the Moon is full and is endowed with strength, in
such Dasa the native will be surrounded by thousands
of superior females. If she be relegated to the 8th
House, the native in such Dasa will be humiliated by
his own men, will live through machinery, grass,
firewood, cowdung, bamboo, medicinal plants, fruits
and water. He will acquire only deteriorated food
and rags and even a king will have to resort to
servitude.
66-68. OTHER PLACEMENT OF PLANETS. Those exalted in
the Ascendant confer rulership of a province in
their Dasas, while those in exaltation in other
Angles will bestow, wealth, conveyances and
rulership of a country. If a planet is in the 6th,
the native will be subjected to evils, misfortunes
etc. In the Dasa of a planet placed in the 8th,
death will be inflicted. There will only be
confinement in the Dasa of a combust planet. The
Dasa of a retrograde planet will cause wanderings,
like that of a wheel, evils and enmity. This applies
only to malefics in retrogression, but not to
benefics.
69. Though one may be a king, he will become a
servant of his own servants in the Dasas of a planet
devoid of strength, a planet totally devoid of
strength, a planet in fall, a planet in deep fall, a
planet in inimical Sign and a planet in dead
enemy's.
70. In the Dasa of a planet placed in enemy's Sign,
there will be circumstances to leave one's own
country (in distress), diseases, loss of position,
frequent quarrels and confinement.
71. Even a king with vast number of elephants, that
can wet the earth with their ichor, will surely
wander in difficulty in the Dasa of a planet
occupying an inimical Sign.
72-73. In the Dasas of the planets placed in the
6th, 5th, 9th, or 7th Houses identical with inimical
Signs, there will be troubles to limbs and secondary
limbs (like the nose), while the Dasa of the planet
in the 8th House identical with its inimical House
will cause beheading (or afflictions to head), fear
from enemies, wanderings in foreign places, troubles
of confinement, diseases etc. If the Dasa of a
planet, that is in fall be in operation humiliation
from royal sources will follow.
74. The Native will derive (good) effects of a weak
planet's Dasa in dreams and thoughts. The effects
due to Pancha Maha Purusha Yogas will come to pass
in the Dasas of the concerned planets.
75. The planets in Seershodaya Signs will give their
effects in the beginning of the Dasas; those in
Ubhayodaya will give in the middle of the Dasas
effects due to them and those in Prishtodaya Signs
as well, as those in fall will reveal their effects
in the concluding parts of their Dasas.
Thus ends the 41st Ch. entitled “MOOLA DASA” in
Kalyana Varma's Saravali.
