Chapter 20
Effects of Dasas of the lords of houses and their Antar Dasas
1. This Chapter deals briefly with the effects of a planet as a result of his lordship of a house, when he is strong, with the effects when he is weak and consequent effects that one has to undergo under circumstances.
2. When the lagna is endowed with full strength, the native will during the dasa of the lord of the lagna attain a position of eminence in the world and live happily. His body will remain sturdy and healthy and he will have lustre in his face. His prosperity will increase and his life will progress just as the Moon's digits in the bright half of the lunar month.
3. During the operation of the lord of the 2nd house, there will be acquisition of family, good daughters, enjoyment of good food and earning of money through lectures, eloquence of speech and consequent appreciation of the audience.
4. If the 3rd house and its lord be equipped with full strength, during the dasa of the lord of the 3rd house, the native will receive full cooperation from his brothers, he will receive auspicious news, he will have opportunity to exhibit his courage and volour, become commander of an army and will attain honour. He will receive support of the people and will become popular for his good quality.
5. If the 4th house be vested with maximum strength, effects like going good to the relation, success in agricultural pursuits, happy relations with wife, acquisition of a conveyance, agricultural lands, houses, wealth, attainment of a higher status, will be experienced by the native during the dasa of the lord of the 4th house.
6. If the 5th house be bestowed with full strength, effects like birth of a son, happy associations and relationship with kinsmen, becoming minister of a king, conferment of honours, involvement in virtuous actions and praise for it from the people and enjoyment of many kinds of delicious preparations shared with others, will be derived during the dasa of the lord of the 5th house.
7. If the 6th be very strongly disposed, effects like overcoming the enemies by his valour, remaining free from diseases, being generous and powerful, enjoying his wealth, splendour and prosperity will be realised by the native during the dasa of the lord of the 6fh house.
8. If the 7th house be endowed with full strength, during the dasa of the lord of the 7th, the native will acquire new clothes and ornaments and will live happily with his wife. His virility or physical strength will Increase and auspicious functions like marriage etc., will be celebrated in his house. He will perform pleasure trips.
9. If the lord of 8th house be vested with full strength, during his dasa period the native will be able to clear all his debts. He will achieve progress in his profession and other activities. All disputes with him will come to an end and he will acquire buffaloes, goats and other cattle and servants.
10. If the lord of 9th house be fully strong, during his dasa, the native will enjoy continuous prosperity, happiness and wealth alongwith his wife, sons, grand children and relations, will perform meritorious deeds and receive royal favour and will be respectful to Brahmins and gods.
11. If the 10th house and its lord have full strength, in the dasa of the lord of the 10th house, the native will succeed in every venture he undertakes, and he will live happily. He will earn name and fame and will attain good reputation. He will involve himself in virtuous actions for which he receives humiliations.
12. In the dasa of a strong lord of the 11th there will be continuous growth in prosperity. He will have meetings with his near relatives and will have the comfort of many servants. There will be domestic happiness and great prosperity.
13. During the dasa of the lord of the 12th, the native will spend extravagantly on good causes. He will perform meritorious acts and thus be free from the evil effects of the sins committed. He will also be conferred royal honours.
14. The good effects described above in verses 2 to 13 are derived only when the lord of the house concerned is auspiciously disposed (not placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th), is posited in his own sign or in his sign of exaltation or is retrograde. The effects will be adverse if such a planet is inauspiciously disposed, is in his inimical sign, in his sign of debilitation or is eclipsed by the Sun's rays. Now described below are the effects of the planet (lord of a house), who is not well disposed.
15. When the lord of the Lagna is badly placed, the native will be imprisoned during his dasa. He will lead his life in cognito, will suffer fear, diseases and mental anguish, will participate in funeral rites, will incur loss of position and other misfortunes.
If the lord of the 2nd is in a similar position, the person conscemed during his dasa will behave stupidly before an audiance, will not stick to his word or family, write objectionable letters, will suffer from eye troubles, will have a harsh tongue, incur lot of expenditure and will face displeasure of the king.
16. If the lord of the 3rd house be weak, there will be loss of brothers and sisters during his dasa. His work will receive adverse criticism and he will be harassed by secret enemies. The native will suffer from reverse and as a result will be humiliated and lose his pride.
If the lord of the 4th house be weak, during his dasa the mother of the native, his kinsmen and his friends will be distressed. There will be danger of destruction of his house, agricultural lands and cattle and also danger from water.
17. If the lord of the 5th lacks strength and is badly placed, during his dasa, the native will lose a son. He will suffer from aberration of mind, will be a victim of deception and will wander here and there aimlessly. He will suffer from stomach disorders, face wrath or displeasure of king and will feel physicially weak.
During the dasa of the lord of the 6th house who is deficient in strength, there will be danger from thieves. He will face poverty, will be overpowered by others and will suffer from diseases, will receive shabby treatment or indulge in undesirable actions. He will serve others and suffer humiliation and loss of reputation. He will have injuries in his body.
18. If the lord of the 7th be weak, during his dasa, the son-in-law of the native will be in distress. The native will make separation from his wife and something untoward will happen through the opposite sex and he will have affairs with wicked women and will suffer from venereal diseases. He will be wandering aimlessly.
When the dasa of a badly placed and weak lord of the 8th house be in operation, the person concerned will suffer from great sorrow, loss of intelligence, intense sexual desire, jealousy, fainting fits, poverty, fruitless rambling, loss of reputation, sickness and humiliation. Even his life may end during the dasa of such a planet.
19. During the dasa of the lord of 9th house who is weak, the wife and children of the native will be in trouble. He will suffer in many ways due to wrath of deity that had been worshipped formerly. He will indulge in undesirable actions and one of his elder brothers and his father may die and he himself may suffer from penury.
When the lord of the 10th house be devoid of strength, during his dasa, the native will face failure in all his undertakings and he will indulge in wicked actions, he may have to live away from his homeland and may suffer distress on that account. He will have to face untoward happenings and will incur loss of honour.
20. If the lord of the 11th be adversely disposed and be weak, the brother (elder) of the native will be in trouble. His son will be sickly, he (the native) will suffer from misery, deception and ear diseases.
During the dasa of a weak lord of the 12th house, the native will suffer from many diseases, dishonour and slavery. All his wealth will disappear like the (waning) Moon in the dark half of the month.
21. Whatever has been stated in the Chapter 1, whatever has been mentioned as belonging to the presiding planets (Chapter 2), whatever calling is declared appropriate in chapter on profession (Chapter 5), whatever diseases have been described as due to the several planets (Chapter 14), whatever has been said as the effects of the aspect or association with the planets (Chapter 18), or of the presence of planets in houses or of the lords of the several houses or the lord being associated with others (Chapter 15, 16, 17), all this must be duly assigned to the planets concerned in their respective dasas.
22. If a planet occupies Vargottamamsa he produces very favourable effects in his dasa. Mixed effects are derived in the dasa of a planet who being Vargottama is in his sign of deblitation or is eclipsed by the Sun's rays. Adverse results may be when the dasa of any of the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house in the an tar dasa of any of them be in operation. Similar will be the effect of the dasa of the planet posited in the 6th, 8th, or 12th and an tar dasa of any one of them.
23. There will be theft in the house of the native, he will be troubled by enemies and he will suffer great misery, during the dasa of a cruel planet (malefic) and the an tar dasa of any of the lords of the 3rd, 5th or 7th nakshatra reckoned from the Janma nakshatra (natal star). The same will be the results in the dasa of a malefic and in the antar dasa of the lord of the Moon sign or of the 8th house there from.
24. The following dasas will bring misery and trouble :-
(1) The dasa of Saturn if it is the fourth in the order of main dasas.
(2) The dasa of Jupiter if it is the sixth
(3) The dasa of the Mars and Rahu if they are fifth.
(4) The dasa of a planet who is placed in the last degree of a sign.
(5) The dasas of the lords of the 6th, 8th and 12th houses.
Notes — If any body is born in the dasa of Mars, Saturn's dasa will be the fourth for him. For one born in the dasa of Venus, Rahu dasa will be fifth and Jupiter's dasa the sixth for him. For one born in the dasa of Ketu, Mars dasa will be the fifth for him.
25. If Mars in an Urdhvamukha sign or in his sign of exaltation be posited in the 10th or 11th house, the native will acquire a kingdom in his dasa. He will become a king and cause destruction of his enemies and will possess many vehicles and a huge army and
26. If Venus be in his sign of exaltation or in his own sign and be posited in the 10th, 11th or the 12th house, uneclipsed and free from the influence of a malefic, the native during his dasa, will become very wealthy, will be full of glory and splendour and will be endowed with gold and precious stones etc., will be widely praised and enjoy all comforts.
27. All benefics if placed in their sign of debilitation, inimical signs or the 6th or 12th house, they will produce only adverse results while malefic similarly placed will cause miseries during their dasa periods.
28. The native will face danger from enemies, suffer loss or position and earn hostility oi persons who had been his friends, during the dasa of a planet and the an tar dasa of the planet (1) who is inimical to the lord of the dasa, (2) who is in an inimical sign, (3) one who is posited in the 6th or (4) who is inimical to lord of the lagna.
29. Which ever house counted from the lord of the dasa is occupied by the lord of antar dasa, it is the effects arising from that house during the antar dasa is posited in 6th, 8th or 12th with reference to the lord of the dasa. In other positions the effects will be good.
30. If a benefic or a lord of a benefic house is posited in his sign of exaltation, he produces maximum good effects. The effects will be three-fourth if such a planet be in his Moolatrikona sign. It will be half if he be in his own sign. It will be one-fourth in a friend's sign, very little in his inimical sign and almost nil when it is in his sign of debilitation. In the case of malefics or lords of malefic houses the results will be reversed. When a planet is in combustion its effect will be similar to that in his sign of debilitation.
31. Find out which amongst the following is the weakest — (a) Saturn, (b) Mandi, (c) Rahu, (d) the lord of the 22nd decanate from the lagna, (e) lord of the 8th, (f) lords of the navamsa signs occupied by them. It is the dasa of the weakest amongst them that proves fatal for the native and the death takes place when Saturn in the course of his transit passes through an untoward house (6th, 8th or 12th).
32. See who amongst the following pairs of planets is stronger-la) the lord of the house occupied by the lord of the 8th house and lord of the navamsa sign occupied by the lord of the 8th house. And the lord of the 22nd decamate from the lagna and the lord of decanate of the lagna. The death of the native takes place when Jupiter in the course of his transit passes through any of the following places —
(1) the sign occupied by the lord of the 8th house, (2) the navamsa occupied by the lord of the 8th house, (3) in trlkona position to (1) and (2).
33. If Jupiter, the lord of the house occupied by the Moon and the lord of the lagna be posited in kendra at birth, the middle portion of the life will be happy. Planets in shirshodaya, ubhayodaya and prishtodaya signs give their results in the beginning, in the middle and in the end respectively.
34. If the lord of the dasa be endowed with strength at the time of birth passes in the course of his transit through his sign of exaltation, his own sign or a friend's sign, promotes the growth of the house reckoned from the lagna.
Notes — Suppose Rahu is endowed with full strength in a nativity, his dasa is in progress when in the course of his transit he will pass through the 11th house counted from the lagna the native will have gains of wealth. When he passes through the 10th in transit, the native will get promotion in his position. When it will pass through the 9th the native will have dawn of fortune.
35. When a planet who's dasa is in progress be weak at birth, be eclipsed by the Sun's rays, be in his sign of debilitation or be in a inimical sign, he will during the course of transit through any house, cause its total destruction.
Notes — Suppose the lagna is Virgo and Saturn is posited in the 8th house in his sign of debilitation. During the dasa of Saturn, if in the course of his transit he passes through the sign Leo which is an inimical sign identical with the 12th house, the 12th house will produce very evil effects during that period.
36. The effects will be good and auspicious, when in the course of his transit, the Moon passes through (1) the exaltation house of the lord of the dasa, (2) the houses friendly to the lord of the dasa and (3) the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th and 11th houses reckoned from the lord of the dasa.
Notes — If any person wants, to know whether the Moon will give auspicious effects on a particular day, he should expect good effects if the Moon is in any one of the positions mentioned above with the lord of the dasa in progress.
37. If a planet whose antar dasa is in operation should on the course of his transit at the time pass through his sign of debilitation, an inimical house or become eclipsed, there will be much misery. Should he pass through his own, exaltation house or be retrograde, the effects will then be good.
38. If the antar dasa of a planet is favourable, the good effects will be experienced when the Sun, in the course of his transit, passes through his sign of exaltation. Similar effects will be derived when Jupiter in the course of his transit passes through that sign of exaltation. As regards the planet whose antar dasa is likely to yield inauspicious or adverse effects, such evil effects will be realised when the Sun in the course of his transit passes through the antar dasa lord's sign of debilitation or inimical sign.
39. Rahu will affect the planet with whom he is associated. That planet through good and auspicious by himself will produce evil effects particularly at the end of his dasa.
Notes — In the example horoscope, Rahu is associated with Venus who is posited in his own sign. Rahu will take over the nature and auspiciousness of Venus and produce effects in dasa or antar dasa according to them. Venus on the other hand will become afflicted and produce evil effects during his dasa or antar dasa particlarly at their end.

40. The 2nd and 7th houses are maraka (death producing) houses. If the lords of these houses or planets posited therein, are powerful they cause death duing their dasa. If the lord of the 8th or 12th house be very weak, death is likely to take place in the an tar dasa of any of the two.
41. The dasa of a planet who is lord of a kendra will be adverse if he happens to be a benefic natural benefic and auspicious or favourable if he is a (natural) malefic. The dasa of all the planets who are trikonas (1,5,9) will be favourable. The lords of the 3rd, 6th and 11th houses, even if benefics, they will always produce evil effects during their dasas. The lord of the 8th house, if he also is the lord of the lagna will be auspicious and will produce good effects in his dasa. The Sun and the Moon even if they own the 8th house give only good effects. (They do not suffer from the stigma of being lords of the 8th house.) These are the effects of several dasas according to Parasara's opinion.
42. If (1) the lord of a trikona be in a kendra, (2) the lord of a kendra be in a trikona, they will both prove auspicious. If the dasa of one and the an tar dasa of the ohter be in operation, the effects will be very favourable. They will help each other, cooperate to make the period auspicious.
43. No planet produces good or bad effects to the native in accordance with the house he owns during his dasa and his own antar dasa.
44. Find out what all planets are related (Chapter 25, verse 30) to the particular planet whose dasa is under consideration. Note also the planets if any which are similarly circumstanced (whether for good or bad) i.e. holding a position coordinate to the one under reference. It is only in the antar dasas of these planets that the original planet will in his main dasa manifest his effect.
45. The lords of kendras and trikonas, even if they themselves be capable of causing evil (owning to their having lordships of evil house), become yogakarakas by their mere relationship and make the native prosperous.
Notes — For example for the Aries Ascendant both Saturn lord of the 10th a kendra and also of 11th (for which he beccmes a papi) and Jupiter is lord of the 9th a trikona and the 6th a dusthana. But they get related with each other (vide Chapter 15, verse 30) they become yogakarakas and thus auspicious in the nature.
46. If out of the lords of the 5th and 9th any one of them gets related to a strong planet owning a kendra, he becomes a yogakaraka, (capable of promoting the property of the native).
47. If the lord of a kendra be associated with any of the lords of the 5th or the 9th, they both become yogakarakas.
If the lord of a kendra while being related to lord of one trikona, be also related to the lord of the other trikona, a most powerful Raja Yoga will be the result.
Notes — Here it will be relevant to point out that if the same planet owns a kendra and a trikona, he becomes a yogakaraka for that ascendant. For the Taurus Ascendant Saturn is lord of 9th and 10th. Therefore he will be a yogakaraka. For the Cancer and Leo Ascendants Mars owns the 5th and the 10th and the 4th and 9th respectively. Thus Mars is a yogakaraka for these Ascendants. Saturn is a Yogakaraka for the Libra ascendant being the lord of the 4th and the 5th. Venus is yogakaraka for the Capricorn and Aquarius ascendants being lords of the 5th and the 10th and the 4th and the 9th respectively.
48. Though the planets may be themselves (natural malefics) but If they are related to a yogakaraka (planet producing prosperity) good effects will be experienced by the native during their antar dasas leading him to affluence and happiness.
49. The lord of a trikoria house will during his dasa and the antar dasa of the lord of a kendra will produce good effects. Even if the two planets may not be connected the dasa of one and the antar dasa of the other will be productive of good effects.
50-51. If Jupiter and Venus be lords of kendras, they become powerful to cause evil effects. Should they occupy the maraka houses (2nd and 7th), they become powerful marakas (inflicters of death).
Mercury in this respect is less powerful. The Moon comes next to Mercury.
Malefics when they be lords of kendras, become more and more auspicious in their effects.
52. If Rahu and Ketu occupy a kendra or trikona they become yogakarakas if they get connected with the lord of kendra or trikona.
If Rahu or Ketu should occupy the sign of a benefic which is not an inauspicious house and are not connected with any planet, they produce good effects in their antar dasas.
If Rahu and Ketu are not connected with any planet and are posited in an auspicious house (kendra or trikona), they will produce good effects during their dasa and the antar dasa of a yogakaraka.
54. During the dasa of a yogakaraka planet, the Raja Yoga begins when the antar dasa of karaka planets are in progress. The antar dasas of malefics which succeed them in their turn increase the same.
Notes — Another version of this verse as given by Pt. Gopesh Kumar Ojha in his Hindi translation of Phaladeepika is as under :—
This means that if Raja yoga begins with the antar dasa of a maraka planet, the native gets yogakaraka effects in name only. The real prosperity and glorious effects of Raja yoga evade him.
55. The following planets cause great misery to the native —
(1) The planet posited in the 8th house.
(2) The planet who aspects the 6th house.
(3) The lord of the 8th house.
(4) The planet owning the decanate of the 8th house.
(5) The planet owning the sign occupied by Mandi.
From amongst the weakest will be capable of causing death of the native during his dasa or antar dasa.
56. The dasa of a planet fallen from exaltation is termed Avarohini or descending, while that of a planet in a friend's house is named Madhya or middling. The dasa of a planet proceeding from his debilitation is called Arohini or ascending. The dasa of a planet that is actually in his depression or inimical navamsa is termed, Adhama or worst
Notes — It has already been mentioned earlier at which degree of a sign a planet is in deep exaltation and what degree of a particular sign the planet is in debilitation. For example the Sun is in deep exaltation at 10 degrees of Aries and he is in deep debilitation at 10 degrees of Libra. During the interval the Sun proceeds from 10 degrees of Libra trowards to 10 degrees of Aries and until he reaches there, he will be called Arohi or ascending. But the interval, the Sun after reaching 10 degrees Aries proceeds 10 degrees of Libra and until he reaches there, he will be termed as Avarohi or descending. The effects of the dasa of an avarohi planet are bad, while the effects of an Arohi planet are good. But even if a planet be Avarohi his dasa will be ordinarily favourable if he is posited in his exalted or friend's Navamsa, while even if a planet be arohi. If he be posited in his sign of depression, in an inimical sign, in debilitated navamsa or in an Inimical navamsa, his dasa will be Adhama or adverse.
57. Even if a planet be in his sign of debilitation or in his Inimical sign or be eclipsed by the Sun's rays, his dasa will produce mixed effects, if he occupies an auspicious house or Navamsa and will be capable of giving good effects in the latter half of the dasa.
58. Death of the relative signified by a particular house will take place In the main dasa of the planet in the house 12th to that house or of the planet owning it, whoever is weaker.
59. If the lord of the dasa in the course of his transit passes through the lagna, the 3rd, the 6th, the 10th or 11th house reckoned from him or If the lord of the dasa comes to the sapta varga places of the lagna, or when a friendly planet or a benefic planet comes to the lagna, the Dasa will prove auspicious at that time i.e. during the periods of transits mentioned above.
60. Note which planet's dasa or antar dasa is in progress and where he is situated in the course of his transit with reference to the natal Moon. The dasa or antar dasa will produce good effects during the periods of the lords of the dasa or in the course of his transit comes to auspicious places with reference to the natal Moon and Dasa effects will be adverse if the lord of dasa comes to inauspicious houses from the position of natal Moon.
61. The Moon produces beneficial effects when in the course of her transit, she passes through (1) the friend's house of the lord of the Dasa (2) the sign in which the lord of the dasa is exalted and (3) houses 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 11 from the lord of the dasa.
62. In the favourable positions mentioned in the previous verse, the sign occupied by the Moon should represent some one of the 12 house, lagna, wealth etc., at the time of birth. The one of these favourable positions promotes the prosperity in respect of the house represented by the sign occupied. In the unfavourable positions, the house represented by the sign occupied by the Moon suffers damage.
63. While assessing the various effects in a nativity it is admirable to study the principles laid down in Saravali (by Kalyana Varma), Hora Shastra by Varahamihira and the Nakshatra Dasa. While making such an assessment, careful note should be taken of the planets with reference to the lagna at the time of query or janma rasi (Moon sign) or Lagna at birth. There will not be much difference between the Prasna Lagna and the Janma Lagna in the matter of making predictions.
Notes — Sloka 32. — It may be interesting to note why Jupiter has been particularly mentioned for causing the death of the person when he transits through the Rasi and the Navamsa occupied by the Lord of the eighth house or its triangular position. The reader will note that Jupiter is the only planet who is exalted in the eighth house from his own sign. It only shows the magnanimity of the planet who is defined to exhibit his full lustre even when he is posited in a bad house as the 8th house. This is because he is a Philosopher.
Sloka 41. — The Sun and the Moon are declared to be auspicious even when they own the 8th house. i.e. for the people born in Makara and Dhanus they are respectively auspicious. This is because the Sun becomes the creater for person born in Makara, while the Moon becomes the owner of the house in which lord of Dhauns (Jupiter) is exalted. It is therefore relevant that both these planets should prove auspicous to persons torn In Makara Lagna and Dhanus Lagna respectively.
Sloka 54. — The lord of a Kendra and Kona is termed the Yogakaraka.
Thus ends the twentieth chapter on "Dasas of Bhava Lords and their Bhukties" in Phaladeepika composed by Mantreswara.
