The following are the Ashtak Varg places in the several Ashtak Vargas of Surya and other Grahas: Benefic dots from Lagn, Surya etc. should be marked on the ground (nowadays on paper) and added together. The Dasha effects arising out of the 12 Rasis should be determined for the several Grahas. In the Dashas of the Grahas, which contain no benefic dots, or, which are placed in fall, or in an enemys Bhava will bring about diseases, financial loss, grief etc. If there are one, two, or three dots only, predict loss of money, grains and cattle. With four dots, the effects are medium, i.e. not bad and not good. Should there be five dots, all desires will be fulfilled.

The results relating to a Grah in own Bhava, in exaltation Bhava, or in Upachaya Bhava should be deduced, as told above. The results arising out of benefic dots (in each Ashtak Varg) should be understood, as mentioned earlier.

The goods delivered be good Bhavas will be of twofold auspicious. Should it be otherwise, the results are also otherwise. In such manner, the results of the 12 Bhavas commencing from Lagn should be deduced.
