Chapter 8 Dasantardasa
Stanza 1:
The most powerful among Lagna, Surya and
Chandra, with planets in their kendras give
results in the commencement, middle, and
last periods of life respectively. If
planets are not in kendras, etc., the
results will flow in the commencement even
from Apoklima planets.
Stanza 2:
The planet most powerful gives the first
dasa extending over that period of life
granted by him. If many planets are equally
powerful then the first dasa will belong to
that planet who gives the largest term of
life. If some planets give equal terms of
life, then the first dasa will be given by
that planet who rises first.
Stanza 3:
The planet with the Dasanatha gives half the
term of that dasa with his results. The
planet who occupies the thrikona from him
gives one-third of that period with his
results. The planet in the 7th from him
gives one-seventh of his period. The planet
who is in chaturasra gives one-fourth of
that term. In this manner lagna and planets
give their Dasas and Antardasas.
Stanza 4:
Bring all the fractions to a common figure,
omit the denominators and multiply severally
the numerators by the dasa years and then
divide the whole by the total of the
numerators. By doing this you get the
Antardasa periods.
Stanza 5:
The Dasa (period) of a most powerful and
exalted planet is called the Poorna Dasa.
The dasa of a powerless planet is called the
Rikta. The period of that planet which is in
the navamsa of unfriendly amsa is called the
Aristaphala.
Stanza 6:
The planet who has fallen from exaltation
gives Avarohi Dasa. If he joins friendly or
exalted navamsa, he constitutes Madhya
Dasa.
The planet who is ascending from his
debilitation gives Arohani Dasa. If such a
planet occupies debilitated or unfriendly
navamsa, he gives a worthless period.
Stanza 7:
If a planet is in a good house and joins
debilitated or unfriendly navamsa, it gives
mixed results. The names are fixed for these
indicative of their results. I shall give
the results of the periods of the Sun, etc.,
later on.
Stanza 8:
If lagna rises in common sign, its drekkanas
constitute Adhama, Madhya and Pujita
respectively. If lagna is movable, the order
must be reversed. If lagna is fixed, they
constitute Ashubha, Ista and Sama
respectively. Lagna Dasas are thus
arranged.
Stanza 9:
Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, the Sun
and Saturn give 1, 2, 9, 20, 18, 20, 50
years respectively of Nisargika Dasa. If in
the previously stated dasa period of the
planets, they get also this ?Nisargika dasa,
they produce good results. Some of Yavanaas
say that the Lagna Dasa comes in the end and
gives good. Some do not accept this view.
Stanza 10:
If the anthardasanatha is in lagna, or if
his friend is in lagna, or if lagna falls in
his friend’s or in his varga, the dasa
beginning then, will be productive of good.
Or if he is in the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th
houses it is good. Or if the Moon occupies
the exaltation house of the Pakaswami or his
friendly rasi, or thrikona, or the 7th from
him, it produces good. If it is the reverse
it produces bad. Stanza 11:
That dasa which begins when the Moon is in
his own house is good and gives honour,
wealth and happiness. That dasa which begins
when the Moon is in Kuja’s house makes his
wife immoral; if that dasa begins when the
Moon is in Budha’s house it gives education,
friends and wealth; if the dasa begins when
the Moon is in Simha it gives work for him
in forts, forests, roads, houses and
agriculture; if it begins when the Moon is
in Sukra’s house he gives all desirable
food; if it begins when the Moon is in
Sani’s house it gives mean woman; if it
begins when the Moon is in Guru’s house it
gives reputation, wealth and happiness.
Stanza 12:
The Sun gives wealth by Nakha, (nails or
claws) teeth, skins, gold, cruelty, travel,
kings and wars. He makes the man
hot-tempered determined in doing work, in
getting reputation and good by courage. He
gets misery through wife, children, wealth,
enemy, weapon, fire and king. The Sun gives
liberty, fondness for sinful deeds, quarrels
among his workmen or servants, complaints in
chest, stomach and other diseases.
Stanza 13:
During the Moon’s period the person gets
money or profits from mantras, Brahmins,
sugarcane, milk, clothes, flowers, playing,
oil seeds, good and fatigue or pain. He will
be fond of sleep, laziness, enduring pain,
Brahmins and Devatas, getting female issues,
possessed of good intelligence, reputation,
earning and spending, and he will pick
quarrels with is own men and those who are
more powerful than himself.
Stanza 14:
During the period of Mars there will be
destruction of enemies, gains from rulers,
lands, brothers, sheep and wool. He will
have hatred among his children, wife,
friends, brothers, learned men, and
preceptors. He will suffer from thirst,
bloody diseases, fever, bile, fractures.
He’ll be fond of others’ wives, sinful men
and uncharitable deeds. He’ll be harsh, hot
and evil-tempered
Stanza 15:
In the period of Mercury, the person gets
wealth by embassy, friends, preceptors and
Brahmins. He’ll be praised by learned men
and thereby gets reputation. He gets gold,
mules, lands and personal charm, and
happiness. He’ll be witty and humorous and
will be clever in serving. he’ll have a good
mind and charitable disposition. Harshness,
fatigue, restraint or imprisonment, mental
disease and complaints from the three dhatus
(vaata, pittha and sleshma) will result
Stanza 16:
In his period, Jupiter gives honor, good
character, good mind, personal charm,
courage, philanthropic disposition,
determination and devotion. He gets wealth
thru mantras, kings, vedic recitation,
counsel and skill in diplomacy. He’ll have
gold, houses, sons, elephants, clothes and
friendship with good rulers. he gets
troubled by deep thinking, diseases in the
ear and hatred among lawless people
Stanza 17:
During Venus’ period, the person will be
fond of music, pleasure, fine scents, good
food and drink, clothes, females, gems,
personal charm, sensual pleasure, yogis,
friends, desirable personages, skill in
merchandise, agriculture, treasure-troves,

donkeys, camels, birds, buffaloes, old
women, leadership over communities, towns or
cities, and inferior gains. he gets miseries
or troubles thru phlegm, jealousy, wind,
anger, derangement, dirt, laziness and
fatigue. He’ll be insulted and terrified by
servants, children, wife and will suffer the
loss of a limb Stanza 19:
Good periods give happiness and bad periods
produce misery. Mixed periods give mixed
results and the result of the lagna dasa
will be similar in nature to its lord
Stanza 20:
In the period of each planet, the results
will be based on the materials or objects
that have been detailed in the
Saumgnyadhyaya and the means of livelihood
detailed in the Karma Jivadhyaya. Results of
the planets will be determined by the
aspects, occupation and other combinations
given elsewhere
Stanza 21:
Different planets give their luster of the
mahabootas in their periods. This luster or
shade has to be identified by the nose,
face, eyes, skin and ear obtained by or thru
the earth, water, fire, air and space
Stanza 22:
During the time of an auspicious planet, the
mind of the person will be good. It enables
the man to get wealth and secure happiness.
The dasa may also be known by the happiness
or misery the man is subjected to. The
results produced by powerless planets will
be enjoyed in dreams and thoughts
Stanza 23:
If one planet represents two contrary
results, the effect will be the destruction
of those events. but if one is stronger than
the other, the stronger prevails. If one
planet represents one and another indicates
a contrary result, there’ll be both the
results. Planets give good or bad in their
own periods

Chapter 10 Karmajeeva (profession)
Stanza 1:
From Sun, etc., the acquisition of wealth
must be predicted thru father, mother,

respectively, when he occupies the 10th
house from birth or Moon, or thru lord of
the navamsa occupied by the lord of the
10th, from birth, Moon or Sun

products and dependence upon women, etc. If

money thru minerals, fire, weapons,
adventures and physical strength. If the
lord of the navamsa is Mercury, money is
obtained thru writing, math, poetry and fine
arts
Stanza 3:

Chapter 11 Rajayoga
Stanza 1:
Yavanas say that three or more cruel planets
in exaltation will produce a cruel-minded
king. Jeevasarma and his school say that
exalted cruel planets won’t raise a man to
kingly power Stanza 2:
If Mars, Saturn, Sun and Jupiter or any
three of them are exalted and one of these
three occupies the lagna, 16 rajayogas
arise. If Moon is in his own house, and any
two of the above planets are in exaltation,
with one of them in birth, or if any of the
above-named planets is in exaltation
occupying the lagna, they produce 16
rajayogas
Stanza 3:
If lagna or Moon occupies vargottama and has
the aspects of four or more planets, except
Moon, 22 rajayogas are generated
Stanza 4:
If Saturn is in Aquarius, Sun in Aries, Moon
in Taurus and lagna rises in one of these,
and Mercury, Jupiter and Mars are in Gemini,
Leo and Scorpio, there’ll be combinations
for royalty. If Sun and Moon are in
exaltation and lagna rises in one of these
signs and if Sun and Mercury are in the 6th,
and if Venus, Mars and Jupiter are in Libra,
Aries and Cancer, they generate two
rajayogas
Stanza 5:
If Mars is in Capricorn, Sun and Moon in
Sagittarius, and lagna rising in Capricorn
with Saturn in it, the person becomes a
king. If, in the above combination, Moon
joins Mars in birth or if Saturn and Moon
are in 7th, if Jupiter is in Sagittarius,
and Aries becomes lagna with Sun there, the
person becomes a king
Stanza 6:
If Taurus rises at birth with Moon in it,
and Sun, Jupiter and Saturn are in the 4th,
7th and 10th respectively, the person
certainly becomes a king. If Capricorn is
birth with Saturn in it, and 3, 6, 9 or 12
are occupied by Moon, etc., the person
becomes a famous, good-natured and prominent
king
Stanza 7:
If Jupiter with Moon is in Sagittarius, Mars
in Capricorn and Pisces or Virgo is the
lagna with Mercury and Venus there, two
rajayogas arise. If Mars and Saturn occupy
the 5th, Jupiter, Moon and Venus join the
4th, if Virgo rises as lagna with Mercury in
it, the person becomes a king with good
character
Stanza 8:
If Pisces becomes lagna with Moon in it,
Saturn, Mars and Sun are in Aquarius,
Capricorn and Leo respectively, the person
born will rule the earth.
If Aries becomes lagna with Mars in it, with
Jupiter in Cancer or if Cancer rises with
Jupiter in it, with Mars in Aries, a king
will be born
Stanza 9:
If Cancer is lagna with Jupiter in it and if
Moon, Venus and Mercury are in Taurus and
Sun in Aries, a mighty king will be born
Stanza 10:
If Capricorn is lagna with Saturn in it and
if Aries, Cancer and Leo are combined with
their lords and if Gemini and Libra are
occupied by Mercury and Venus, the person
becomes a renowned ruler
Stanza 11:
If an exalted Mercury is in lagna, Venus in
Gemini, Moon and Jupiter in Pisces with
Saturn and Mars in Capricorn, the person
becomes a king
Stanza 12:
In the combinations for royalty sketched
before, persons born in poverty will become
kings; much more so persons born in royal
families. The combinations to be given
hereafter will make men kings who are born
in royal families and others born in
ordinary families will become equal to
kings
Stanza 13:
If there are three or more powerful exalted
or moolatrikona planets in a horoscope, a
person born in a royal family will become a
king. If this number is five or more, then
persons born in ordinary families will
become rulers. If these planets are
powerless, the persons won’t be kings but
wealthy men
Stanza 14:
If Aries is the lagna with Sun half-rising
and Moon in it, Mars in Capricorn and
Jupiter in Sagittarius, the person born in a
royal family becomes a king
Stanza 15:
When Venus occupies the 4th from lagna, Moon
occupies the 9th and the rest are in the
1st, 3rd and 11th houses, the person becomes
a king
Stanza 16:
If a powerful Mercury is in lagna, a
powerful benefic in the 9th and the rest of
the planets in the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 10th
or 11th, the person born in a royal family
will become a good and charitable king
Stanza 17:
If Taurus is lagna and Moon, Jupiter and
Saturn and other planets occupy the 1st,
2nd, 6th and 11th respectively, or if Moon
and Sun in the 10th and Saturn in lagna and
other planets in the 11th, the person
becomes king
Stanza 18:
If Moon, Saturn and Jupiter are in the 10th,
11th and 1st respectively, Mercury and Mars
in the 2nd and Venus and Sun in the 4th, the
person becomes a king. If Mars and Sun are
in lagna, Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Sun and
Mercury are in the 4th, 7th, 9th, 10th and
11th respectively, the person becomes a
king
Stanza 19:
The person gets royal power in the
antaradasa of the most powerful planet or of
the planet who combines in the 10th or the
1st. He loses that power in the antaradasa
of the planet who’s unfriendly or
debilitation house because such a period is
called the chara dasa. He then must seek
protection from a powerful king Stanza 20:
If Jupiter, Venus or Mercury is in lagna,
Saturn in 7th and Sun in the 10th, the
person will enjoy his life well. If
beneficial signs are powerful and fall in
quadrants and malefics occupy cruel signs,
the person will be a master of hunters,
thieves and wealth
