Next I shall tell you the various kinds of dashas. Vimshottari is the first dasha. Shodashottari,
Dwadashottari, Ashtottari, Panchottari, Shatasama, Chaturashiti, Dwisaptati, Shashtisama,
Shadtrimshati, Khetakrama, Rashikrama, Bhagkrama, Navamshaka Graha, Rashiamshaka, Kaala and
Chakra are the dashas spoken by the sages.

Commentary: The Navamshaka Graha dasha is also known as the Navamsha Nava dasha. The
word Graha is used to indicate the number nine.

Vimshottari dasha is of two kinds, Ashtottari dasha is of two kinds, Chakra dasha is of two kinds
and Kaala dasha is of three kinds. Twenty two different dashas are mentioned. I shall speak
about the methods of their computation. Listen, O best amongst Dwijas!

Commentary: Twenty two different kinds of dashas are spoken of in these shlokas. Here is a
list for ready reference: 1,2. Two kinds of Vimshottari dashas 3. Shodashottari dasha 4.
Dwadashottari dasha 5,6. Two kinds of Ashtottari dashas 7. Panchottari dasha 8. Shatasama dasha
9. Chaturashiti dasha 10. Dwisaptati dasha 11. Shashtisama dasha 12. Shadtrimshati dasha 13.
Khetakrama dasha 14. Rashikrama dasha 15. Bhagkrama dasha 16. Navamshaka Graha dasha 17.
Rashiamshaka dasha 18,19,20. Three kinds of Kaala dashas and 21,22. Two kinds of Chakra
dashas.

In the succeeding shlokas we find the description of all dashas except one Bhagakrama
Dasha. Either the sage as not defined this dasha or else the relevant shlokas have been lost.

(Vimshottari Dasha of one hundred and twenty years is being defined.) One should count from
Ardra or Krittika upto the constellation of birth. If the lagna is in the hora of Sun in the dark
fortnight then one should count from Ardra. If the lagna is in the hora of Moon in the bright
fortnight then one should count from Krittika. One should count upto the constellation of
birth and then divide the result by nine. Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury,
Ketu and Venus are the lords of the dashas depending upon the remainder. Six, ten, seven,
eighteen, sixteen, nineteen, seventeen, seven and twenty are the respective durations of the
dashas of the planets beginning with the Sun.

Commentary: The description of Vimshottari dasha here is quite different from what is used
traditionally. In shloka 110 of this chapter Lomasha has said that there are two variants of
Vimshottari dasha. But Parashara talks of only one kind of Vimshottari dasha. Here is what
BPHS says in shlokas 41.12-41.13 about this dasha:
T lHTl6 PPl l4l4 ~ (Ull^9l T l U4 T U 9 4l l4(l 4Pl6

4ll= 4l4( 4l P ~l 46l26l U 9l[Ull^9l 4Pl (Ul 4 6

Beginning from Krittika, the lords of dashas are Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury,
Ketu and Venus in that order. Thus, if the nakshatras from Krtitika to the Janma Nakshatra are
divided by nine, the remainder will signify the lord of the commencing dasha. The remaining dashas will
be of the planets in the order given above.

According to BPHS counting is to be done from Krittika irrespective of any conditions. While
Lomasha says that counting should be done from Krittika or from Ardra based on the paksha of
Moon and the hora of ascendant at birth.

Another major difference is that according to Lomashas definion, this dasha is applicable to
only those charts in which birth is in the dark fortnight in the hora of Sun or in the bright
fortnight in the hora of Moon. This means that the dasha is applicable in only fifty percent of
the charts. What about the other charts then? Interestingly if one looks at the criteria for the
Shodashottari dasha in shlokas 116-118 of this chapter, the criteria for this dasha are exactly
complementary to the criteria for the Vimshottari dasha. So one should use Shodashottari dasha
where Vimshottari is not applicable.

Some research is needed on the definition provided by Lomasha to verify if it gives better
results.

Count in steps of one starting with eleven and ending with eighteen. This shall be the
respective duration years of Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Ketu, Moon, Mercury and Venus. The
lords of the dashas exclude Rahu amongst the nine planets and are eight in number. One
should count from Pushya upto the constellation at birth and then divide the result by eight.
This Shodashottari Dasha (one hundred and sixteen) should be employed for studying the
results of men when the lagna is in the hora of the Sun in bright fortnight or in the hora of
Moon in the dark fortnight.

Parashara.

This dasha excludes Venus. The years of dasha durations are in a sequence beginning from
seven in steps of two. One should count from the constellation at birth upto Revati and then
divide the result by eight. When the native is born in the Navamsha of Venus then this
Dwadashottari Dasha (one hundred and twelve) should be employed.

Now I shall mention the Ashtottari Dasha (one hundred and eight). Listen, O best of Dwijas!
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Venus these planets are the lords of
the dashas - that is the nine planets except Ketu. Six, fifteen, eight, seventeen, ten, nineteen,
twelve and twenty one are the dasha durations of planets beginning with Sun. When Rahu is
placed in a kendra or trikona from the lord of the ascendant but is not placed in the ascendant
then the Ashtottari Dasha should be employed. It should not be employed when Rahu is placed
elsewhere. The Ashtottari Dasha is twofold - one beginning from Ardra and the other
beginning from Krittika. When Rahu is conjunct with another planet(s) then the counting for
the dasha should begin from Ardra and when Rahu is placed alone then the counting for the
dasha should begin from Krittika. One should count upto the constellation of birth in the
sequence four, three, four, three etc.

Commentary: Here as well the definitions of the dasha given by Lomasha and Parashara do
not match. Lomasha has said in shloka 110 that Ashtottari dasha is of two kinds. Parashara
mentions only one variant. He does not distinguish between Rahu being placed alone or with
other planets and advises counting from Ardra in both cases.

Another difference is that Parashara mentions that this dasha is applicable only if the native is
born during daytime in the dark fortnight or during nighttime in bright fortnight. Lomasha
has not mentioned any such condition.

Some research is needed to delineate the proper condition of applicability as well as the proper
counting rule for this dasha.

The dasha duration for the seven planets begins with twelve years (in steps of one upto
eighteen). Count from the constellation Anuradha upto the constellation of birth and divide by
seven. The dasha shall begin from the planet according to the remainder obtained. Sun,
Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Venus, Moon and Jupiter (are the lords of the dashas in the sequence
of remainders obtained), excluding the nodes. This Panchottarshata Dasha (one hundred and
five years) should be employed when the ascendant is Cancer and is in the Dwadashamsha of
Cancer. It should not be employed in any other case. Now the Shatabdika Dasha is being
defined.

Commentary: The word paata in the shloka refers to the nodes - Rahu and Ketu. The
description of Panchottarashata dasha given by Lomasha matches with Parashara.

Now the Shatabdika Dasha (one hundred years). Sun, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Mars
and Saturn receive five, five, ten, ten, twenty, twenty and thirty years respectively. The
Shatabdika Dasha should be employed when the ascendant is Vargottama. One should count
from Revati upto the asterism at birth and divide the result by seven. The remainder should be
counted from Sun. This is the Shatasama Dasha.

Commentary: The description of Shataabdika dasha given by Lomasha matches with
Parashara.

count from Swati upto the asterism at birth and divide the result by seven.

When the lord of the ascendant is in the seventh house and the lord of the seventh house is in
the ascendant then Dwyadhikasaptatisama Dasha (seventy two years) should be employed there.
All planets, except Ketu, have duration of nine years, each. One should count from Mula upto
the constellation at birth and divide the result by eight. One should commence the dasha on
the basis of the remainder obtained. Now I shall mention the Shashthayani Dasha.

Comment: The description of Dwisaptatisama dasha given by Lomasha matches with
Parashara except for one small difference in the criteria of applicability of this dasha. BPHS
says that either the ascendant lord should be in the seventh house or the seventh lord should
be in the first house. While Lomasha says that both conditions are necessary for the
applicability of this dasha.

Jupiter, Sun and Mars have duration of ten years each. Moon, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and
Rahu have duration of six years each. Three constellations beginning with Ashwini, then four,
then three, then four and so on (are the constellations allocated to these planets in sequence).
The Shashthisama Dasha (sixty years) should be employed when Sun is the lord of the
ascendant.

Commentary: There is a difference in the criteria for this dasha laid down by Lomasha and
Parashara. Lomasha says that this dasha is applicable when Sun is the lord of lagna while
Parashara says that the dasha is applicable when Sun is in the lagna. Here is the relevant
shloka 46.40 from BPHS

One should count from Sharavna upto the constellation at birth and then divide by eight.
Moon, Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Venus and Rahu (are the planets indicated by the
remainder). Their durations respectively begin from one year in steps of one. When the
ascendant is in the hora of Sun in the day or in the hora of Moon in the night then
Shadgunabdika Dasha (thirty six) should be employed. It should not be employed in any other
situation.

Commentary: The description of Shadtrimshati dasha given by Lomasha matches with
Parashara.

Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu (is the sequence of dashas
of the planets). The dasha commences from the planet placed in the ascendant. The duration of
the dashas of these planets shall be equal to their spashta value beginning with sign (then
degrees, seconds etc). This Khetakrama dasha should be employed when there is a planet placed
in the ascendant. If there is no planet there then the dasha should not be employed. If there are
several planets in the ascendant then it should be commenced from the strongest amongst
those planets.

Commentary: This is a dasha which is not mentioned in BPHS.

O best of the Dwijas! Listen. I shall now tell the Rashikrama Dasha. The dasha begins with the
sign containing the planet which is the smallest in terms of (its position that is) sign (degrees,
seconds etc). Then comes the planet with the next larger position. If two planets have
identical positions then determine the stronger amongst them on the basis of their natural
strengths. This Rashikrama Dasha should be employed when the lord of the ascendant is placed
seventh to the lord of the Moon sign.

Commentary: This is also dasha which is not mentioned in BPHS. The dasha is simply in the
order of the longitude of the planet including the sign. So a planet in Cancer will come after a
planet in Gemini. The dasha durations are not mentioned but based on the previous dasha it
looks like they may be equal to the respective spashta values.

Missing Dasha: Based on shloka 109 one would expect the Bhagakrama dasha to be described next. But
unfortunately the manuscript does not mention it. Neither is there any reference to this dasha in BPHS.
However we can try to guess how this dasha would be reckoned based on its name and the description of
the two previous dashas. The word bhaga, which means degrees, provides the hint. In Rashikrama dasha
the planets were placed in an increasing order of their Rasi, Degree, Minute and Seconds. In the
Bhagakrama dasha we should probably ignore the Rashi and order the planets based on their bhaga or
their relative advancement in the respective sign with the dasha of the least advanced planet coming
first. The dasha durations should be equal to the spashta value. It must be mentioned that this is just a
guess and must be taken with a pinch of salt. Moreover there is no way to figure out the criterion for the
applicability of this dasha.

(Navamshaka Graha Dasha) The dasha begins from the planet in whose sign Sun is placed in
the Navamsha. After Sun come the planets beginning with Moon and ending with Ketu. I shall
now tell the duration of the dashas as spoken by Brahma earlier. Convert the (relative longitude
of) the planet into minutes and divide the result by two hundred. Multiply the remainder
again by twelve. Thus one obtaines years, months etc of the duration. This is the Amshaka
Dasha. One should employ this dasha for all humans.

Commentary: The sequence of the planets is as mentioned in shloka 142, that is Sun, Moon,
Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. So, for example, if Sun is in Aries
Navamsha, the dasha will beging from Mars. After that shall come the planets Mercury,
Jupiter etc in sequence. It may be noted that this dasha is not mentioned in BPHS.

One should compute the (dasha duration) of the first etc houses using the previously
mentioned method. The dasha commences from planet in whose navamsha the lord of the
ascendant is placed. The next dasha is of the planet which owns the navamsha sign occupied by
the lord of the second house and so on. This is the Rashiamshaka Dasha. This dasha should be
employed when the ascendant or the lord of the ascendant is strong.

Commentary: This dasha is similar to the previous dasha except that instead of taking the
lords of the signs in which certain fixed planets are placed, the lords of the signs in which the
lords of the houses are placed are considered. Here as well dasha of a particular planet may not
occur at all or may occur multiple times in the overall dasha sequence. BPHS does not talk
about this dasha.

(The Kala dasha is being described.) A day consists of sixty nadis. Five ghatis before the half-
disk of sun is visible and five ghatis later in this way two sandhyas of total duration of twenty
ghatis are defined. The twenty ghatis of the day are called Purna and the twenty ghatis of the
night are called Mugdha. The sandhya at the time of sunrise is called Khanda and is of duration
ten ghatis. The sandhya at the time of sunset is called Sudha and is of duration ten ghatis. For
Purna and Mugdha the ghatis elapsed should be multipled by six and should be written down
nine times. For Khanda and Sudha the elapsed ghatis should be multipled by twelve and written
down nine times. Then they should be divided by forty five. The results obtained are called by
the sages the maana of the planets beginning with Sun. The maana of each planet multipled by
its (the planets) serial number gives the years etc. The dasha of Sun etc commences from the
lord of the sign in sequence. Three kinds of dashas are defined here - one for each day, night
and sandhya.

Commentary: As mentioned in shloka 111, three kinds of Kala dasha are defined in these
shlokas depending on whether birth is in the daytime, nighttime or sandhya time. The
computation of the dasha given by Lomasha matches with BPHS.

O Son of Sumati! I shall now tell the Chakra Dasha. The dasha of the planet placed in the
ascendant comes first, then the dasha of the planets in second house etc. If two, three or more
planets are in the same house then the planet with a larger degree etc would come first. If the
degrees etc are identical then one should judge from their natural strengths with the dasha of
the stronger planet coming first. (The duration of the dasha) is equal to the sign number etc
with the fractional part traveled by the planet calculated proportionally. (The second kind of
Chakra Dasha is being described now. This is a sign based dasha.) Ten years is ascribed to the
houses beginning from the ascendant.

Commentary: As mentioned in shloka 111, two kinds of Chakra dashas are mentioned here.
The first variant of this dasha is a planetary dasha and the second variant is a sign based
dasha. BPHS mentions only the sign based variant. Moreover the description of this variant
given by Parasara differs from that given by Lomasha. Here are the relavent shlokas 46.50-
46.51 from BPHS:

If the birth is at night, the dasha will commence from lagna rasi. If the birth is during the day, the dasha
will start from the rasi, in which the lord of lagna is placed. If the birth is during sandhya, the dasha
will begin from the rasi of the second house. The dasha of each rasi is 10 years.

One can see that Parashara has distinguished between daytime, nighttime and sandhya time
births while Lomasha does not make any such distinction.

The sub-periods should be computed in proportion to the respective major periods. The
Antardasha should also be studied by a wise man for indicating finer results. (For computing
the sub-period duration) the dasha duration (of a planet or sign) should be multipled by the
dasha duration (of the planet or sign whose antardasha is being computed) and divided by the
(total) dasha duration. The quotient should be known to be the duration in years etc (of the
antardasha). The results in the antarashas should be predicted as mentioned previously (in the
case of dashas).

If the planet is in the first one-third of a sign then the results should be indicated to fructify in

should be indicated to fructify in the middle of the dasha and if the planet is in the last one-
third of a sign then the results should be indicated to fructify in the end of the dasha. If the
planet is retrograde then this sequence should be reversed.
