Effects of Kala Chakra Dasha of the Rāśis in Lagna and other Houses.
131-132. In the Kala Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in Lagna the body remains healthy and the native spends a life with many kinds of comforts. If the Lagna Rāśi is a benefic one, the good effects are realized fully. If the Lagna Rāśi is a malefic Rāśi, there is likelihood of ill health. If a Planet is in exaltation or in its own Rāśi occupies Lagna, the native is respected by the king, or government and acquires wealth.
133-134. In the Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in 2nd 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 Rāśi be a benefic, good effects are realized in full, otherwise the effects would be of a mixed nature.
135-136. Happiness from co-borns, valor, patience, comforts, acquisition of gold, ornaments and clothes and recognition by the king, or government, are the effects in the Kala Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in 3rd. If the Rāśi 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 Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in 4th. If the Rāśi is a benefic one, the good effects are realized in full. If it is a malefic Rāśi, 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 valor are the effects of the Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in 5th. If the Rāśi is a benefic one, the good results are enjoyed in full. If the Rāśi 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 Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in 6th. If the Rāśi 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 Rāśi.
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 Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in 7th. The beneficial results will be experienced in full, if the Rāśi is a benefic one. Meager good effects will be realized in the case of a malefic Rāśi.
145-146. Destruction of a residential house, distress, loss of wealth, poverty and danger from enemies are the effects of the Chakra Dasha of the Rāśi in 8th. The adverse effects will be realized in full, if the Rāśi is a malefic one. Some mitigation in evil effects may be expected in the case of a benefic Rāśi.
147-148. Felicity in respect of wife, children, house, agricultural activities, performance of good and pious deeds, progress in religious inclinations and privilege of moving in the society of great religious leaders, are the effects in Chakra Dasa of the sign in the ninth house (Dharma Bhava). These of a benefic sign. Very meager good effects will be experienced in the event of the sign being a malefic one.
149 – 150. Acquisition of kingdom, recognition from the king, happiness from wife and children, success in ventures and performance of pious deeds are the effects in the chakra dasa of the sign in the 10th house. The good results will be realized in full in case of a benefic sign. If it is a malefic sign, the good effects will be few.
151 – 152. Felicity from wife, children and kinsmen, receipt of favors from government, acquisition of wealth and clothes and association with good people, are the effects in the Chakra Dasa of the sign in the eleventh house (Labha Bhava). The good effects will be enjoyed in full in the case of a benefic sign. Very little good will happen in the sign be a malefic one.
153 – 154. Failure in efforts and ventures, pain in the body, loss of position, poverty and unnecessary expenditures are the effects in the Kalachakra Dasa of the sign in the twelfth house (Vyaya Bhava). The adverse effects will be experienced in full in the case of a malefic sign. Some good may happen if the sign be a benefic.
Chara Dasa
155 -156. Now I shall describe to you the Chara Dasa of the signs (Rasis) of the twelve houses. In this Dasa system the number of years of Dasa is reckoned from the Rasi up to the house in which its lord is posited. The peculiar feature of this system is that every three signs from Aries etc. have four padas. For the odd (1,3) padas, the counting is done from Rasi onwards up to the Rasi in which its lord is housed. For the even padas (2,4) this counting is done in the reverse order.
157 . In this system Mars and Ketu are both lords of Scorpio. Similarly Saturn and Rahu are lords of Aquarius.
158-166. Now I will tell you about the working out of the Dasha years of Scorpio and Aquarius. If both the Lords of the two Rāśis, Scorpio and Aquarius, are placed in their own Rāśis, their Dasha will be of 12 years. Otherwise the Dasha will be of the number of years, indicated by the number, counted from that Rāśi to the Rāśi, occupied by its Lord. If one Planet be in his own Rāśi and the other in any other Rāśi, the Dasha will be of the number of years counted, from the above first Rāśi to the other. If the Lords are in different Rāśis, the counting is to be done up to the Rāśi, which is stronger. The Rāśi, which has a Planet, placed in it, is considered more powerful than the Rāśi without a Planet in it. If both are with Planets in them, the one with more Planets would be considered more powerful. If both Rāśis are occupied by an equal number of Planets, the strength of the Rāśi itself should be taken into account. The principle for considering the Bala of the Rāśi is, that the Fixed Rāśi is considered stronger than the Movable one and the Dual Rāśi is considered more powerful than the Fixed Rāśi. If there is equality in the strength of the Rāśis, then to determine the number of years of Dasha counting should be done up to the Rāśi with bigger number. If one Rāśi is occupied by a Planet in exaltation, the counting should be done up to that Rāśi only. In addition 1 should be added in the number of years in the case of a Rāśi with an exalted Planet and 1 should be deducted from the number of years in the case of a Rāśi with a Planet in debilitation. The prediction should be made after calculating the Dashas in this manner.
167. If the Rāśi in 9th House is in an odd Pad, the counting should be from the Rāśi in the Lagna onwards. The counting would be in the reverse order, if the Pad is even. The Dashas of Rāśis have to be fixed, keeping this in view.
For example. In the above Libra is the Rāśi in 9th House in an odd Pad. Amongst the Lords of Lagna, Saturn and Rahu, Rahu is associated with a Planet. Therefore Rahu is more powerful than, Saturn. Therefore counting should be done up to Rahu. Aquarius is in even Pad, therefore counting has to be done from Aquarius up to Rahu in the reverse order, by which the Char Dasha for Aquarius would come to 8 years. Aries is in odd Pad. Therefore the Char Dasha for Aries will be one year. The Dasha of other Rāśis should be calculated in the same manner.
Sthira Dasa
168-169. Mahārśi Parashara said. Now I am going to describe the Sthira Dasha. In this Dasha system 7, 8 and 9 years are the Dasha spans of the Movable (Char), Fixed (Sthira) and Dual (Dvisva House) Rāśis. In this system the Dasha of the 12 Rāśis begins from the Brahm Planet Ashrit Rāśi. The Dashas are counted onwards from the odd Rāśis and in the reverse order from the even Rāśis.170-173. Maitreya said. O great Sage! Now please enlighten me how the Brahm Planet is picked out in a chart. Mahārśi Parashara said. From amongst the Lords of 6th, 8th and 12th the Planet, who may possess the greatest strength and is placed in Lagna, or in 7th with strength, the one, placed in an odd Rāśi within sixth House from the House concerned, is called the Brahm Planet. The Lord of 8th in 8th is also accepted, as Brahm Planet. If Saturn, or Rahu/Ketu obtain Brahmatva (qualifications of Brahm Planet), they become Brahm Planet. If a number of Planets obtain Brahmatva, the one with the largest number of degrees would become Brahm Planet. If there is p6thty in the degrees of such Planets, the most powerful amongst them would become Brahm Planet.
Yogardha Dasa
174. The spans of Dashas of the Rāśis in the Yogardha Dasha system are half of the total of the spans of Char and Sthira Dashas. The Dasha will commence from the Rāśi of Lagna, or 7th, whichever is stronger. The order of the Dashas of the 12 Rāśis will be counted onwards, if the opening Dasha Rāśi is an odd one. If it be an even Rāśi, the Dashas will be in reverse order.
Kendraadi Dasa
175-176. In this system there are Dashas of Fixed Rāśis in the Kendra etc. from Lagna, or from 7th, whichever is stronger. If Lagna, or 7th with strength is placed in an odd Rāśi, the Kendra etc. are counted in the onward order. If it be in an even Rāśi, 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 Rāśis. 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 Planets, counting is done from the Planet to his own Rāśi. The years of Dashas would be the number, arrived at by counting up to the Rāśi of the Planet, which is stronger, or more in number.
177. If a Planet owns two Rāśis, the Dasha years will be equal to the number, which is greater, when counted from the Rāśi, occupied by him.
Notes. Under this system Dashas are of two kinds, namely Lagna Kendraadi and Atma Karak Kendraadi. There are also Kendraadi Rāśi Dasha, or Kendraadi Planet Dasha in both the Dasha systems, mentioned above.
Karak Dasa
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 Rāśis, counted from Lagna up to the Karak concerned.
Manduka Dasa
179-180. Under the Manduka Dasha system the Dasha commences from Lagna, or 7th House, whichever is stronger. If the Rāśi of commencement is an odd Rāśi, the Dashas of 3 Movable, 3 Fixed and 3 Dual Rāśis will be counted in the onwards order. They will be in the reverse order in the case of an even Rāśi. In this system the Dasha years will be the same, as in Sthira Dasha. In this system every Dasha is of the next 3rd Rāśi.
Shula Dasa
181-182. Some sages have designed the Shula Dasha for determining the time of death. In this system the Dasha commences from 2nd, or 8th, whichever is stronger. If the Rāśi is an odd one, the order of the Dasha Rāśis will be onwards. It will be backwards in the case of an even Rāśi. The Dasha years in this system are, as adopted for the Sthira Dasha. There is a possibility, that death appears in the Dasha of the Marak Rāśi, which has greater strength.
Trikona
183-184. In this system the first Dasha commences from the strongest amongst the Rāśis in Kona (Trikona) to Lagna (1st, 5th and 9th). This system is similar to the Char Dasha. Here also the Dashas of the Rāśis will be in the onwards order in the case of odd Rāśis and in the reverse order in the case of even Rāśis. The Dasha years will be similar to that of Char Dasha. It has been named Trikona because of the commencement of the Dasha from the Rāśis in Konas.
Dirga Dasa
185-187. In this system the order of the Dashas is, as follows: the Rāśi, occupying 9th, the Rāśis, receiving a Aspect from the Rāśi in 9th, the Rāśi in 10th, the Rāśis, receiving a Aspect from the Rāśi in 10th, the Rāśi in 11th and the Rāśis, receiving a Aspect from the Rāśi in 11th. As this system is mostly based on Aspects, it has been named, as Dirga Dasha. Three different processes are adopted for the Movable, Fixed and Dual Rāśis from 9th, 10th and 11th. According to them, Rāśi, which receives a Aspect from the Movable Rāśi, is counted backwards and the Rāśi, receiving a Aspect from the Fixed Rāśi, is counted onwards. In the case of the Dual Rāśi, if it is odd, the counting is onwards and the order is backwards in case of an even Rāśi for the Rāśis, receiving a Aspect.
Notes. The intention is, that from the point of view of Aspect the process of Rāśi, receiving a Aspect, should be started from the Rāśi, which is nearest. In this connection readers may refer to Rāśi Aspectkathan Adhyaya, Ch. 8, Verse 9 and the table after that.
