During the Dasha of Śani, the native will acquire fame, intelligence and knowledge of many Shastras. He will become leader of a group, a village, or a city. He will be more famous than his father and will be versed with all religious commandments.
He will have elephants, horses, cows and wealth and he will obtain the wealth of his cousins. He will have respect for Brahmins and Gods and will live in an old house. He can be pleased with an iota of things.
He will be drowsy in disposition and capable of hard work. He will be hated by men and he will be interested in women, who are older than him. He will like to be virtuous, be modest and be interested in the jobs of Gods. i.e. temples etc.

In the Dasha of Śani, who has just left his debilitation zone, one will get grains through agriculture, but will be grieved by fall (from high places); one will be equal to the least and not enthusiastic.
Should Śani be in Vrishabh, in such Dasha, one will get titles, be very intelligent, become a king, or his equal, serve in a war and one will show too much of interest in doing virtuous acts.
During the Dasha of Śani in Mithun, the native will be impatient, will enjoy children, wealth and happiness, but he will lose through women and thieves. He will be keen to do the jobs of others and will be troubled through battles.
During the Dasha of Śani in Kark, one will be worried and dependent upon others; one will be deprives of mother, children and relatives; one will grow short of sight and hearing, but be intelligent.
Should Śani be in Simh Rāśi, or in Simh Navamsh, in such Dasha, one will be subjected to various diseases, one will develop misunderstandings with sons, wife and relatives and will command wealth through cows, buffaloes, horses etc.
During the Dasha of Śani posited in Kanya, the native will attain learning and will produce (money) by his labour. He will have fear from Brahmins and water. But he will be dear to preceptors, Brahmins, Yogis etc.
During the Dasha of Śani, who is in his exaltation Rāśi, one will gain wisdom and wealth. People will regard his learning. Naturally money will come to him and he will have happiness.
During the Dasha of Śani in Vrischik, one will kill, or capture insects, will wander aimlessly, speak untruth, will not be kind (to others) and will remain at the mercy of mean people for his livelihood.
In the Dasha of Śani posited in Dhanu, one will enjoy health, be respected by the sovereign, or be a king himself; one will acquire money through profession, or creatures; one will be with sons and wife and will be active, as though in a war front.
When Śani occupies Makar, in such Dasha, one will have money by putting abundant labour, will be fortunate, dear to barren, or older ladies and lose money through the confidence he reposes (in others).
Should Śani be in his Multrikon Bhava, in such Dasha, one will derive comforts. He will be chief among his caste men. He will be wise and wealthy through agriculture, cattle and grains. He will have sons.
Should Śani be in Meen, in such Dasha, one will acquire money only with slight enthusiasm. He will head a group of villages in the city and he will be desirous of young women and at the same time final emancipation.
Should Śani be combust, in such Dasha, one’s income and expenditure will be in equal ratio; one will be unhappy, sometimes fraudulent, one will be widely famous, but be afflicted by worries.
The results for Rāśi and Amsh positions have thus been said and the predictions should be based on whichever is stronger. Should they be equal in strength one should assume balanced results.
These are the results of various Dashas of the Grahas. One should fully understand the native before predicting the events and predict accordingly.
Thus ends the 15th Chapter entitled "The Effects of Śani Dasha" in Horashara of Prithuyasas, son of Varah Mihira.
