Sloka 61 : The Moon produces beneficial effects when in the house of a friend of the lord of the Dasa; or in the exaltation house of the latter or in the 7th house, a Trikona house or in any one of the Upachaya houses with renference to the Dasanatha lord of the Dasa.
Sloka 62 : In the favourable positions mentioned in the previous Sloka, the Rasi occupied by the Moon should represent some one of the 12 Bhavas, Lagna, wealth, etc. at the time of birth The Moon in one of these favourable positions promotes prosperity in respect of the Bhava represented by the Rasi occupied. In the unfavourable positions, the Bhava represented by the Rasi (occupied by the Moon) suffers damage.
Sloka 63 : in the case of a nativity, one ought to guess the effects after a reference to Saravali, Varahamihira’s Hora Satra and the Nakshatra Dasa. While so guessing, one must refer also to the positions of the planets with reference to the Lagna at the time of the query or the Janma Rasi or Lagna at birth and then attempt his predictions. There will not be any material difference between the Prasna Lagna the Janma Lagna, (in the matter of the predictions.)
Thus ends the 20th Adhyaya on the “Dasas of the several Bhava lords and their Bhuktis” in the work Phaladeepika composed by Mantreswara.
General Notes
Sloka 32 : It may be interesting to note why Jupiter has been particularly mentioned for causing the death of the person when he transits through the Rasi and the Navamsa occupied by the lord of the eight house or its triangular position. The reader will note that Jupiter is the only planet who is exalted in the eighth house from his own sign. It only shows the magnanimity of the planet who is defined to exhibits his full lustre even when he is posited in a bad house as the 8th house. This is because he is a Philosopher.
Sloka 41 : The Sun and the Moon are declared to be auspicious even when they own the 8th houses, i.e. for people born in Makara and Dhanus they are respectively auspicious. This is because the Sun becomes the creator for person born in Makara, while the Moon becomes ‘the owner of the house in which lord of Dhanus (Jupiter) is exalted. It is therefore relevant that both these planets should prove auspicious to persons born in Makara Lagna and Dhanus Lagna respectively.
Sloka 54 : The lord of a Kendra and Kona is termed the Yogakaraka.
ADHYAYA – XXI – NATURE OF BHUKTIS AND ANTARAS
Sloka 1 : I shall now clearly explain how to apportion the Bhukti periods in a Dasa and their further sub-divisions as also their effects in their order. Whatever has been here described as effect in the case of any planet, all that should be stated to occur in the planet’s Dasa, in his Bhukti land in his Antara.
Sloka 2 : Multiply the years of a Mahadasa by the years of the planet whose Antardasa is required. Divide the product by 120. The quotient will be present the years of the Antardasa. Multiply the remainder by 12 and divide the result by 120. The quotient will represent the months-multiply the remainder by 30 and divide by 120. The quotient will give the days, and so on. The same process should be adopted for calculating the sub-periods in an Antardasa, or their further sub-divisions. In any Dasa, the order or the Bhuktis is similar to that in the Dasas the first Bhukti commencing with that of its lord.
Notes
Bhukti is the Sub-period of a Mahadasa and Antara is the sub-period of a bhukti. A Mahadasa comprises of nine bhuktis ruled by the nine planets, each bhukti similarly covered by Dine Antaras each Antara by nine Sukshma’s and each Sukshma by nine Pranas. Each Mahadasa commences with the bhukti ruled by the same planet ruling the Dasa. This rule applies to Antara, Sukshma and Prana. The sequence of bhukti, Antara, etc., is in the same order as Mahadasas.
The bhukti period of any Mahadasa may be found out in a very simple way. Multiply the figures of the Mahadasa with that or the corresponding figures of the, planet whole bhukti is required. The last figure in the product always represents the decimal of a month and the rest represents the total No. of months. For example let us find Mercury bhukti in Saturn’s dasa. The years for Mercury is 17 and that for Saturn is 19. The product is 313. Hence, Mercury’s sub-period in Saturn’s Mahadasa is 32-3 months which is equivalent to 2 years 8 months and 9 day.
Sloka 3 : During the Dasa and bhukti of the Sun, the person concerned will obtain fame through royal favor, lead a wandering life thropugh a wild and hilly country and will acquire wealth. He will suffer from fever, illness caused by excessive heat and may also lose his father.
Sloka 4 : When the Moon has her Bhukti during the progress of the Sun’s Dasa, the person will destroy his enemies; his miseries will come to an end there will be accession of wealth. He will be engaged in agriculture, house building and will be joined with friends. If the Moon be malefic, he will suffer from consumption, have fire accident and diseases arising from water.
Sloka 5 : When Mars has his Apahara in the Sun’s Dasa, the person concerned will suffer from diseases and wounds; there will be loss of position and trouble from enemies, misunderstandings with his relations, danger from the authorities and loss of wealth.
Sloka 6 : During Rahu’s Bhukti, in the Sun’s Dasa, fresh enemies, will spring up, wealth will be destroyed or stolen, troubles, will arise and there, will be danger from poison and a desire to please, the senses (sensual pleasures) the native will suffer from severe head ache and eye complaints.
Sloka 7 : Destruction of enemies, acquisition of money through various means, worshipping the Gods every day, adoration of the Brahmins, elders and relations, disease in the ear and pulmonary consumption will distinguish the Antardasa of Jupiter during the Sun’s Mahadasa.
