SU. 20.-Sthuladarsa, vaishamyasrayametat. Yogardhadasa begins either from Lagna or the 7th-house whichever is stronger.
NOTES The sources of strength and weakness have been clearly explained in the previous pages. Yogardhadasa commences from the stronger of the two Lagna and the 7th. If the Rasi which commences the Dasa be odd, then, take the subsequent Dasas in the regular order. If it is even then count the Dasas backwards. Sthula = Lagna or 1–Tha 7, !a 3 = 73, reversed 37, divided by 12, we get 1 or Lagna.
SU. 21.-Xujadi strikuta padakramena drigdasa. Drigdasas are formed commencing with the 9th from Lagna, according to trikonarupa pada.
NOTES Jaimini now speaks about Drigdasa. Kuja = 9, Ka 1, Ja 18, reversed 81, divided by 12, we get 9. Take the 3 houses from t e Arambha Rasi, or commencing Rasi, viz., 2nd, 5th and 9th from the 2nd, the 4th and the 5th and 9th from the 4th, these three sets of combinations from the Arambha Dasa or the commencing sign from what is technically called Drigdasa.
SU. 22 &c 23 :–Matrudharmayoh saJnantyam vipareethamoojiakutayoh.Yatha samanyam.` Those born in even signs will have the results as described in the previous sutras about the Trikona Dasa.;
NOTES Matru means 5: Dharma signifies 11. Ma 5, Ta 6.=: 56, reversed it will be 65, divided by 12, we have the remainder 5. Dha 9, Ma 5= 95, reversed, we get 59, divided by 12, we have the balance 11; counting from 5th and 11th is considered as samanyam or ordinary, counting from odd and even signs is called Vyutkrama or special or peculiar. v. 11 `
SU. 24.-Pitnimatru dharmapranyadistrikone. Among the Trikonas, the Rasi Dasa commences with the strongest among them.
NOTES The Trikonas are 1, 5 and 9.
SU. 25. – Tatra dwarabahyabhyam tpdwa t. The results which have been ascribed to Dwarabahya Rasis should also be predicted to the Trikona Dasas.
NOTES If the Paka and Bhoga Rasis are aspected or joined by evil planets, the person will suffer from diseases, chains, imprisonments, etc., similar results have to be predicted for Trikona Dasas when they have evil aspects and conjunctions. Carefully read my notes on Sutra 3 of pada four, on Paka and Bhoga Rasis and the different views explained by the commentators. Dwara and Bahya Rasis are Paka and Bhoga Rasis respectively.
SU. 26.-Dhasagairikatpatneekaratkarakaih phaladesah. Results must be predicted from the Karakas or lords of events and also from the first, third, seventh and the ninth Rasis.
NOTES About the person himself, the results must be predicted from the Atmakaraka, from the 7th about elder and younger brothers and, sisters, virtue and charities. These are well known principles in the other works on Astrology.
SU. 27. – Tararkamse rrmandaadyo dasesah. Divide the birth constellation into twelve equal parts corresponding to twelve signs and find out to which division the time of birth corresponds. The lord of the Rasi corresponding to this: division becomes the lord of the commencing Dasa.
NOTES Take the constellation of the day of the birth and divide the whole duration of the star by 12. Find out in which division the ghatika of birth falls from the Lagna. Then count the Dasa from that as per rules already given in the previous sutras. The Dasas here also must be given as 9 years for each Rasi. Here the meaning is not very clear. I understand thus : Janma Lagna falls in some Rasi as a matter of fact. Take the whole duration of the star, and divide it by 12. Then the birth Lagna falls in one of these 12 divisions.
The lord of that Rasi becomes the lord of the commencing Dasa. These Dasas have to be counted forwards and backwards in odd and even signs. The sutra may also be Interpreted like this : A is born at 14 ghatis after sunrise on the 20th of Kumbha. The balance of Kumbha Rasi at sunrise will be 1.5 ghatis. I am only giving a rough example. Kumbha is 1.5 ghatis. Meena and Mesha run for 8 ghatis. This makes 9.5 ghatis. Add Vrishabha 4.5 ghatis. Thus 14 ghatis will conclude Vrishabha and the person is born in the end of Vrishabha. Say the full extent of the star Bharani is 60 ghatis on that day after sunrise.
Divided by 12, we get for each part 5 ghatis. Janmakala ghatis fall in the 3rd division and the 3rd Rasi from Lagna, viz., Kataka may be taken as the commencing Rasi Dasa. This is taken with reference to Chandra and hence called Chandra Dasa. I am very diffident about this explanation.
SU. 28.- Tasm innuchhe neeche va shreemantah. If in the example given in the above sutra the lord of the Rasi Dasa is in exaltation or debilitation the person becomes wealthy and influential.
SU. 29.-Swamitrabhe kinchit. If in such a Lagna, its lord occupies a friendly sign the wealth will be moderate.
SU. 30.- Dugathoaparatah. If the lord of Lagna above mentioned is not as stated previously, the person becomes poor and wretched.
NOTES This will be when he is debilitated or aspected by malefics and is found in unfriendly houses.
SU. 31.-Swavaishamye yathaswam kramavyuthkramau. If the Karaka occupies the odd sign, then proceed for the subsequent Dasas in the regular way, but when he is in an even sign, then go back-wards for the Rasi Dasas.
NOTES He has repeated this idea already in several sutras and I suppose he wants to emphasise the principal point which differs from other astrological principles.
SU. 32.-Saumye vipareetam. If the Karaka Rasi falls in even signs, then count backwards.
NOTES This is just opposed to the above sutra, where he refers to the planet and here he refers to the Rasi.
SU. 33.-Thathatsanavapi veditavyamityeke acharya vadanti. Some Acharyas say that all the results which have been ascribed to planets and signs in the previous sutras may also be predicted with reference to Sani and his position.
NOTES If this sutra is of Jaimini, it speaks eloquently to some facts. Previous to Jaimini Maharishis existed and wrote works on astrology and expounded principles, with some of which Jaimini is not in agreement. Jaimini was a contemporary of Vedavyasa and hence he lived more than 5,000 years ago. This proves the great antiquity of sutras and also about Indian Astrology including astronomy and other kindred sciences. Crooked theories, ascribing to Indian sciences centuries after A.D., may safely be lodged in the perverted brains of their authors.
SU. 34.- Antarbhuktyamsayoretat. These details above mentioned in the various sutras should also be ascribed to the Antardasas or sub- periods among the major Dasas in the forward and backward countings.
SU. 35.-Shubha dasa shubhayute dhamnyuchhe If the Rasi has beneficial aspects and conjunctions, or if its lord has similar sources of strength or is exalted, then all the results will be beneficial.
NOTES The person will prosper in every way during the portion of such Rasis of lords. But otherwise he will suffer.
SU. 36.—A nyathanyatha. When the above conditions are not present, the results will be quite the contrary.
NOTES When Rasis are evil, when they have evil aspects or conjunctions, when debilitated planets occupy the Rasis or when their lords are debilitated, the beneficial results will be absent, and malicious results will trouble the person.
SU. 37.-Siddhamanyat. Jaimini says that all the principles explained in this work are truth propounded in other works and therefore they hold good in all calculations and predictions.
