Lagnadi Rasi Dasha

188-189. In this system there are Dashas of all the 12 Rasis, including Lagn, in every Nakshatr. Consequently the Bhayat at birth may be multiplied by 12 and then the product should be divided by Bhabhog. The Rasi, degree etc. so available may be added to the longitude of Lagn. From the Rasi, becoming available by doing so, will start the Dashas of the 12 Rasis. (If that Rasi is odd, the counting will be onwards. It will be in the reverse order, if the Rasi is even)

190. For finding the balance of Dasha at birth, multiply the expired degree etc. by the Dasha years of the first Dasha Rasi and divide it by 30. The years etc. so arrived at may be deducted from the Dasha years. The result will indicate the balance of Dasha at birth in years, months etc.

Panch Swar Dasha

191-194. Beginning from Akaradhi 5 Swaras (a, i, u, e, o), write underneath them the Varnas in 6 lines. Leave out the letters ‘ňa’, ‘ña’ and ‘ņa’, because they are not used in names. If they are found in any name, ‘ga’ may be substituted for ‘ňa’, ‘ja’ for ‘ña’ and ‘da’ for ‘ņa’ for working out the Dashas and making predictions. In this manner the Swar, under which the first Varna of the name of the native is found, will determine the order of the Dashas of the five Swaras. Dashas are of 12 years for all the five Swaras. In the Dasha of every Swar there will be Antar Dashas of all the five Swaras in the same order.
