கிரகங்களின் தசைகள் - பிருஹத் பராசர ஹோர சாஸ்திரம்

167. If the Rasi in Dharm Bhava is in an odd Pad, the counting should be from the Rasi in the Lagn onwards. The counting would be in the reverse order, if the Pad is even. The Dashas of Rasis have to be fixed, keeping this in view.

For Example. In the above Tula is the Rasi in Dharm Bhava in an odd Pad. Amongst the Lords of Lagn, Sani and Rahu, Rahu is associated with a Grah. Therefore Rahu is more powerful than, Sani. Therefore counting should be done up to Rahu. Kumbh is in even Pad, therefore counting has to be done from Kumbh up to Rahu in the reverse order, by which the Char Dasha for Kumbh would come to 8 years. Mesh is in odd Pad. Therefore the Char Dasha for Mesh will be one year. The Dasha of other Rasis should be calculated in the same manner.
