51-52. The natural characteristics of the House, occupied by Rahu, are harmed at the commencement of the Dasha. If such a House is 2nd, there will be loss of wealth. If Moon and Venus are in 12th, there will be losses, due to the displeasure of government. If Mars and Ketu are so disposed, there will be death, or danger from fire. There will be acquisition of a kingdom, if Venus and Moon are in 2nd at the commencement of the Dasha. This means, that the effects of the House, in which Moon and Venus are placed at the commencement and end of a Dasha, are strengthened. Thus their disposition in 6th, 8th and 12th will produce only adverse effects.
53-55. Similarly the sages have described the effects of the House with Argal. If there is an auspicious Argal causing benefic, or malefic Planet of a Rāśi and Lagna receives a Aspect from him, that Rāśi will prevail. Here Lagna is the secondary condition. If the Planet, causing uninterrupted Argal, gives a Aspect to a Rāśi, that Rāśi will prevail. In other words good effects will be derived in the Dasha of that Rāśi. The Dasha of the Rāśi, which does not receive a Aspect from an auspicious Argal, or the Dasha of a Rāśi with Vipreet Argal will not be favourable. The Dasha of that Rāśi, which receives a Aspect from a benefic, will be favourable.
56-59. Financial gains will be derived in the Dasha of the Rāśi, which is occupied by its benefic Lord, or by an exalted Planet, who receives a Aspect from him. There will be loss of wealth, if such a Planet is in the 12th House to the Rāśi (or House). There will be destruction of all good effects, distress to children and father and mental agony in the Dasha of the Rāśi, if there are malefics in the 5th and the 9th from the Rāśi. Evil effects will be experienced in the Dasha of the Rāśi, which is occupied by 8ths Lord, 12ths Lord, Sun, Mars, or Saturn.
60-63. The Dasha of the Rāśi will cause distress to children, exile to a foreign country and continuous disturbances in life, if Rahu and Ketu are in the Trikona to the Rāśi. There will be danger from enemies, from the king and disease in the Dasha of the Rāśi, which is so posited, that the 6th and the 8th from it are occupied by malefic, debilitated, or combust Planets. There will be destruction of house, land and agricultural fields, if there is a malefic, or debilitated Planet in the 4th from the Rāśi. There will be loss of house, due to negligence, if such a Planet is Mars. There will be heart pain and danger from government, if the Planet is Saturn and there will be losses all round and danger from poison and thieves, if the Planet is Rahu.
64-66. There will be pilgrimage to holy places in the Dasha of the Rāśi, who has Rahu in the 10th to it. There will be gain of earnings, religious rites, gain of wealth, renown for good deeds and success in efforts and ventures in the Dasha of the Rāśi, which is so posited, that the 10th, the 11th and the 9th from it are occupied by benefics. There will be birth of children, happiness from wife and recognition by the Government in the Dasha of the Rāśi, from which the 5th, the 7th and the 9th are occupied by benefic, or exalted Planets. During the Dasha of the Houses (Rāśis), occupied by 5ths, 11ths, 10ths, 4ths, 9ths and Lagnas Lord, there will be growth of these Houses. The good effects will be in proportion to the strength of the Houses and the Planets, occupying them.
67-70. In the Dasha of a Rāśi (House) there will be well-being, increase in opulence and glory and devotion to deities and Brahmins, if it is occupied by Jupiter, Venus, or the Lord of a Trikona. There will be acquisition of more conveyances and cattle etc. in the Dasha of the Rāśi (House), which is so posited, that the 4th from it is occupied by an exalted Planet, or Lord of a Trikona. Moon there will give things, like grains, Ghī etc. Full Moon will favour with a treasure and jewels etc. Venus there, will provide enjoyment from music etc.
71-72. There will be enjoyment of the palanquin-like conveyance in the Dasha of the Rāśi (House), from which the 4th is occupied by Jupiter. There will be success in all ventures, great opulence and glory, acquisition of a kingdom during the Dasha of a Rāśi (House), which has the Yoga of the Lord of Lagna, 9ths Lord, 10ths Lord, an exalted Planet, or benefics. The effects of the Dashas of various Houses should be judged in this manner.
73-77. The effects of the Dashas of each Rāśi, or Planet (Nakshatra Dasha) depend on their 18 different kinds of conditions. They are deep exaltation, exaltation, dispositions on their either side, MulaTrikonaa, own, Adhimitr, Tatkalik Mitras, neutral, enemy, Adhisatrus Rāśi, deep debilitation, debilitated, or enemy Varga, own Varga, disposition in a Kendra, disposition in a Trikona, defeated in war between Planets, deep combustion.
78-83. Acquisition of kingdom, enjoyment and acquisition of more property are the effects of the whole Dasha of the Planet, who is in deep exaltation and is fully equipped with all the six kinds of strength, great opulence and glory with some possibility of affliction with disease are the effects of the Planet, placed in his Rāśi of exaltation. The Dasha of a Planet in deep debilitation is called Rikt. Diseases, loss of wealth and danger of death are the effects of the Dasha of such a Planet. The Dasha of the Planet, who is in a condition in between deep exaltation and deep debilitation is known, as Avrohini (descending). The Dasha of the Planet in exaltation, or in a friends Rāśi is called Madhya (of middle order). This Dasha also yields moderately good effects. The Dasha of a Planet, placed in a condition in between deep debilitation and deep exaltation, is called Rohini (ascending). The Dasha of a Planet, placed in between the debilitated and enemy Navāmśa is called Adham (evil). Dangers of various kinds, distress and sorrows are the results of the Dasha of such a Planet. These Dashas give results, according to their nomenclature.
84-87. The Dashas of other Planets become auspicious and augment the fortune, if the Lord of 9th and Jupiter are in any way related with Yoga, Kendra, or the House concerned etc. The Planet with Yoga of good fortune at birth produces good effects, when he is free from retrogression and becomes direct. The weakness, inabilities and Yogas of other Planets should also be taken into account in judging their effects. All those Dashas give full, medium and little effects in accordance with the disposition of the Planets in the Kendra, Panaphara and Apoklima.
88-89. The Planets in Shirshodaya, Ubhayodaya and Prishthodaya Rāśis, yield their results, respectively, at the commencement, in the middle and at the end of the Dasha. All the Planets yield auspicious results in the Antar Dasha of Naisargik (natural, constant) and Tatkalik (according to position) friends. The results will be adverse in the Antar Dasha of inimical Planets.
Antar Dashas of Rāśis
90-96. There are Antar Dashas of the 12 Rāśis, commencing from the Rāśi, in which the Lord of the Dasha is placed. There will be auspicious results, like acquisition of kingdom in the Antar Dasha of a Rāśi, which is occupied by its own Lord, or a friendly Planet. There will be inauspicious results, like loss of wealth, disputes, danger from diseases etc. in the Antar Dasha of the Rāśi, which may be 6th, 8th, or 12th, or is occupied by a malefic, debilitated Planet, or a Planet, placed in an inimical Rāśi. The Rāśi, which contained more auspicious marks in the Ashtak Varga will yield benefic effects in its Antar Dasha. Adverse will be the effects of the Antar Dasha of the Rāśi, which contains more inauspicious marks. For assessing the results the Rāśi, from which the Dasha commences, should be treated, as Lagna and the Houses thereafter should be assumed to have the characteristics, as if they are so from Lagna. Thus the 2nd House from that Rāśi will be the House of the wealth, the 3rd of co-borns and so on. There will be gains, or losses of Dhatus etc., assigned to the Rāśis and the Planets, in the Antar Dasha of the Rāśis concerned. In judging the effects of the Antar Dashas of the Planets their benefic and malefic nature, relations with the malefic, or benefic, Aspects on them and their disposition in 6th, 8th, or 12th etc. should all be kept in view.
97. The results of the Antar Dashas Pratyantar Dashas of the Rāśis should be assessed in the manner, explained in this chapter.
