JAIMINI NOTES AND QUESTION-PAPERS SOLUTIONS
CHARA DASHA
The dasas start from whichever sign is in the lagna. There are no exceptions to this.
Oja rasi=Vishamapada rasi=Savya rasi- Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius odd group
Yugma rasi=Samapada rasi= Apasavya rasi Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces even group
78. The Order of Dasas
When the 9th house from Lagna refers to a sign in the Savya group, the order of Dasa succession would be direct
or clockwise, starting from Lagna Rasi.
When the 9th from Lagna refers to a sign in the Apasavya group, the order of Dasa would be the reverse or
anti-clockwise, the first Dasa being that of Lagna Rasi.
Suppose for example two cases where (a) Mesha and (6) Kataka are Lagnas. In the first case, the 9th house from
Lagna, vz., Sagittarius refers to Savya group. The first and succeeding Dasas would be in the order of Mesha,
Vrishabba, etc. In the second case, the 9th house from Lagna (Karkataka) is Pisces, belonging to Apasavya group.
The first and succeeding Dasas would be in the order of Kataka, Mirhuna, Vrishabha, etc.
79. Dasa Period: The Dasa period of a Rasi is equal to n-1, where n represents the distance between the Rasi in
question and the lord thereof, counted clockwise or anti-clockwise, according as the concerned Rasi belongs to the
Savya or Apasavya group.
Let us take a chart where Lagna is Mesha, lord of Lagna Kuja is in Simha, Sukra is in Vrischika and Chandra is in
Simha.
The 9th from Lagna, viz.,-Sagittarius, refers to Savya group. Consequently, the succession of Dasas, the first
always starting from Lagna, would be in the direct order.
Since Lagna is Mesha, the first Dasa in this case would be that of the Lagna Rasi. viz., Mesha. The lord of Mesha,
viz., Kuja is in Simha. Since Mesha belongs to Savya group, counting in the direct order from Mesha to Simha, we
get n equal to 5. Therefore the duration of Mesha Rasi Dasa is equal to 4 years (n-I).
Taking Vrishabha, the next Rasi Dasa : It falls under Savya group. Its lord Venus is in Vrischika. Therefore the
distance (n) from Vrishabha to Vrischika counted in the direct order is 7 and the Dasa period of Vrishabha is (n -1) 6
years. The next Dasa (Mithuna) can also be similarly calculated.
Now to ascertain the duration of Karkataka Dasa. Cancer falls in the Apasavya group. The lord Moon is in Simha.
The counting from Cancer must be in the reverse direction, which in this case would be 12 (n) and the period of
Cancer Dasa would be 11 years n-I).
Let us now take a chart where Lagna is Makara, Sani, Guru and Kuja occupying Simha, Mesha and Kanya
respectively. The 9th from Lagna, viz., Kanya belongs to the Apasavya group. Consequently the first Dasa starting
from Lagna (Makara Dasa) is succeeded by subsequent Dasas in the reverse order, uiz., Dhanus, Vrischika, Thula,
etc.
To determine the length of the maha dasas look at the placement of the ruler of the signs, and count from the sign
in question either forwards or backwards, as cited below.
Aries, Taurus, Gemini -- Count Forward to Sign Lords location, then subtract 1
Cancer, Leo, Virgo -- Count backward to the Sign Lords location, then subtract 1
Libra,Scorpio, Sagittarius -- Count forward to Sign Lords location, then subtract 1
Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces -- Count backward to Sign Lords position, then subtract 1
If a planet is in its own sign, it is assigned twelve years
80. Further Variations of Dasa Duration :
If the Rasi lord is exalted, the Rasi Dasa period should be increased by one year.
If the Rasi lord is debilitated, the Rasi Dasa period is diminished by one year.
If the Rasi is occupied by its own lord, dasa period would be 12 years. If mercury is in Virgo which is it's own as well
as exalted sign, then dasa would be 12 years(maximum)
81. Variations due to Dual Lordship
Kumbha and Vrischika are ruled by two planets each.
Kuja and Ketu own Vrischika and Sani and Rahu own Kumbha.
In determining the Dasa period of Kumbha and Vrischika in view of their double lordship, certain special
considerations are necessary.
82. Conjunction of Dual Lords in Own Rasi: If Kuja and Ketu, or Sani. and Rahu, are in conjunction in their own
houses, then the Dasa period of Vrischika and Kumbha will be 12 years each.
83. Mars-Ketu Conjunction in Other Signs: lf Mars and Ketu are in conjunction in a sign other than their own,
then count clockwise (as Vrischika belongs to Savya group) from Vrischika to the Rasi in question.
84. Saturn-Rehu Conjunction in Other Signs: lf there is a conjunction of Rahu and Saturn in a sign other than
Kumbha, then count anti-clockwise (because Kumbha refers to Apasavya group) from Kumbha to the Rasi in
question.
85. One Lord in Own Rasi and the Other Lord in a Different Resi
When one of the double-lords (Kuja or Ketu, or Sani or Rahu) is in his own sign and the other is in a different sign,
ignore the former and prefer the latter. That is if Mars is in Vrischika and Ketu is in Meena, ignore Mars and prefer
Ketu. The Dasa period of Vrischika will be decided by Ketu.
86. Dual Lords in Different Rasis:
When Mars and Ketu (or Saturn and Rahu) are in different Rasis, prefer the one with an associate. If both the lords
are associated with other planets, prefer the one with the greater number of associates. When both the lords have
an equal number of associates, prefer the one with Rasibala by taking into consideration the Chara,
Sthira and Dwiswabhava nature of the Rasi. If the two lords appear equal in strength, even according to Rasibala,
then prefer the lord who gives the, larger number of years.
If per chance the lord who gives the larger number of years is over-debilitated and the other lord is exalted, prefer
the latter, increasing the period by one year.
If Mars is in Scorpio, and Ketu is not, then, Ketu is selected. If Ketu is in Scorpio and Mars is not, then Mars is
picked.
If both are alone in signs, then determine which among Ketu or Mars is at higher degree. The planet at higher
degree is the winner.
If both are at the same degree, then count to the planet at higher minute. If both are at higher minute, count to the
sign with higher second.
This same way of determining the winning planet, for terms of counting the number of years to be assigned to the
sign in question, is to be used for Saturn and Rahu in the case of Aquarius.
The number which results from the counting (including the sign from which the counting starts) is then to subtract 1
from the total. This will give the mahadasa in years.
87. Bhukthis in Chara Dara: If the 9th falls in an Apasavya group, then the Bhukthis succced in the reverse
direction, the first Bhukthi being that of the 2nd Rasi (in the reverse direction) from the Dasa Rasi concerncd.
88.Duration of Sub-periods: As the number of periods is 12, the duration of a sub-period would be one-twelfth of the
duration of a Dasa period.
