27-32. If Mangal is in his exaltation, in his Multrikon, in his own Rasi, in Kendr, in Labh, or Dhan Bhava with strength, in a benefic Ans (Navans) and is associated with a benefic, there will be during his Dasha acquisition of kingdom (attainment of a high administrative, or political position in Government, gain of wealth and land, recognition by Government), gain of wealth from foreign countries and acquisition of conveyances and ornaments. There will also be happiness and good relations with co-borns. If Mangal with strength is placed in a Kendr, or in Sahaj, there will be gain of wealth through valour, victory over enemies, happiness from wife and children. There will, however, be a possibility of some unfavourable effects at the end of the Dasha.

33. If Mangal is in his debilitation Rasi, weak, in an inauspicious Bhava, or is associated with, or receives a Drishti from malefics, there will be in his Dasha loss of wealth, distress and similar unfavourable effects.

34-39½. In order to clarify the effects of the Dasha of Rahu I shall first mention the exaltation and debilitation Rasis of Rahu and Ketu. The exaltation Rasi of Rahu is Vrishabh. The exaltation Rasi of Ketu is Vrischik. The Multrikonas of Rahu and Ketu are Mithun and Dhanu. The own Rasis of Rahu and Ketu are Kumbh and Vrischik. Some sages have expressed the view, that Kanya is the own Rasi of Rahu and Meen is the own Rasi of Ketu. Should Rahu be in his exaltation Rasi etc., there will be during the Dasha of Rahu great happiness from acquisition of wealth, agricultural products etc., acquisition of conveyances with the help of friends and Government, construction of a new house, birth of sons (children), religious inclinations, recognition from Government of foreign countries and gain of wealth, clothes etc. If Rahu be associated with, or receives a Drishti from benefics, be in a benefic Rasi and be in Tanu, Bandhu, Yuvati, Karm, Labh, or Sahaj, there will be during his Dasha all kinds of comforts by the beneficence of the Government, acquisition of wealth through a foreign Government, or sovereign and felicity at home.
