Chapter 16.
Miscellaneous Dasha Effects
If the Grah is of a mixed nature, in such Dasha, the results relating to one’s house, or abode and to one’s happiness and money will only be weak. He will have a tendency to live in others’ houses, be respected by the public and learned.
During the Dasha of a Grah, that is in his retrograde motion, one will have prestige and valour and be wealthy. Should the Grah be in a good Rāśi, or good Navamsh, avoiding Ari and Randhr Bhava, one will acquire a kingdom of his own.
Should a Grah be in debilitation, or in inimical Bhavas, at the same time being in its retrograde motion, in such Dasha, one will indulge in bad acts; one will be reviled by his relatives; one will live in foreign countries and one will be dependant upon others.
During a sub-period of Rahu Dasha, when Rahu is placed between (malefic) Grahas, there will be extreme grief for 2 years. Should a sub-period and an inter-sub-period be of two mutually inimical Grahas, one will be deprived of his relations and suffer from diseases.
Even though a Grah by nature be auspicious, it yields only inauspicious results, if it is in the company of Rahu. In the end of such Dasha, one will be exposed to diseases grief and displacement.
In the Dasha of a Grah, that is inimical to Lagn’s lord, or the lord of Candr Rāśi, one will be wandering, banned from his country (or lose his kingdom) and will be insulted by enemies, when seeking their protection.
Even good Grahas will produce malefic results in their Dashas in the event of their occupying inimical, or debilitational Bhavas, or Ari of Vyaya Bhava from Lagn. The Grahas, that are placed in inauspicious Bhavas will also give bad results.
If Śukr in in his own Bhava identical with Randhr Bhava, he makes one sick, should he also join malefics in such condition, at the end of Śukr Dasha, death is caused. Should Lagn’s lord be in Randhr Bhava, yuti with malefics, he inflicts death in his Antar Dasha.
The Dasha of Randhr’s lord posited in a Kendr will prove auspicious. Should he be, while being so, eclipsed, or yuti with Rahu, according to the wise, death is inflicted upon the native.
Should there be doubts about Lagn’s lord, or a Grah in Randhr Bhava killing the native, it happens only at the end of the Dasha of the said Grah.
Those, that are in own Rāśis, or in exaltation Rāśis, if in a Kendr, or in the 11th Bhava to another Grah, they become Karakas, or the latter. The Grah, which occupies the 10th Bhava of the Grah referred to, as latter, it assumes special importance.
If the Karm’s lord is placed in a Kendr, he becomes a signifier of the earlier mentioned Grah. Lords of Karm and Dharm Bhava, if posited in a Kendr give good results.
The Karakatwa Grah (as above) makes one a principal person in his caste. In such Dasha without doubt, the native’s desires would be fulfilled.
Should the lord of Candr Rāśi, or Lagn’s lord be in a Kendr along with Guru the native is happy in the middle portion of his life.
In the Dasha of a Grah posited in a malefic’s Navamsh, the native faces hindrance to his education in the boyhood. Should the said Navamsh be of a combust Grah, the said effect is undoubtedly certain.
Should the Grahas commencing from Man̄gal onward be in their respective exaltation Rāśis, or in own Rāśis, coinciding with Kendras and be strong, five kinds of Yogas, viz. Ruchaka, Bhadr, Hamsh, Malavya and Shasha Yogas are produced.
If these are considered, not relating to other Yogas, these are capable of giving repeated and full effects to the persons born in superior families.
Those, that are born with these Yogas (i.e. any of the 5 Yogas mentioned above) enjoy wealth on a perennial basis, fame and are illustrious, meritorious and become king of kings. Such men command elephants, horses, various diamonds and a long life.
Those, who have Sūrya and Candr weak, while others from Man̄gal are also weak, do not become kings. They shall only have sons and money.
According to Brahma Sounda, one with superior Yogas lives with happiness and wealth. Adverse combinations will only produce inauspicious effects.
Anything started in the Dasha of a Grah, that has been out of its exaltation (i.e. in fall speak to broadly) will only not mature. The Dasha of the Grah ruling the 6th (or the 8th) counted from the Bhava occupied by Lagn’s lord will cause death, if the said Grah is debilitated.
Should a malefic (untoward) Grah be in Ari, or Randhr Bhava and not receiving Drishti from Grahas posited in good Bhavas, he brings death by disease, travel etc.
The Grahas Guru, Śukr, Śani, Man̄gal and Budh their representative characters of elements (i.e. Panch Bhutas) viz. Akash, Jal, Vayu, Tejas and Prithivi in their Dashas through wind, bile and phlegm. Grahas mixed in nature yield mixed results.
Among men, animals and birds the lustre of the body, indicating both inauspicious and auspicious effects and the good qualities of the inner mind, the brilliant qualities etc. can be seen by the learned, as the flame of a lamp kept in crustal vessel.
Prithivi’s lustre gives teeth, skin nail and hair, adds fragrance, satisfaction, money, gain and upward status and makes one virtuous.
Jal is glossy, white (like camphor), green (like grass), pleasing to the eyes and indicates amiable nature and qualities, comforts, growth, protects, like mother, and indicates all-round prosperity.
Tejas is disposed to anger, is, like lotus, gold and burning fire, shining, capable of conferring success and fulfilling of all desires.
Vayu is non-white i.e. black, cloudy, of bad smell, is secretive, dusty, rough and capable of causing grief. It causes sufferance, gives no wealth and destroys one’s parental properties.
One born under the influence of Akash, can know the words and meanings and study those deeply. He is conscientious and respected, has loose joints, weak hands and legs and the nature of sky. He is tall in stature.
The effects produced by weak Grahas are only pipe dreams. The effects of Panch Maha Purush Yogas, if the Grahas are weak, should be deduced similarly.
Only after estimating one’s physical appearance, caste, qualities etc., the results should be declared according to family, country, age etc. in the order of the Dashas concerned.
Thus ends the 16th Ch. entitled "Miscellaneous Dasha Effects" in Horashara of Prithuyasas, son of Varah Mihira.
