13-16. Now I will tell you the method of working out the
Antar Dashas in the Pinda, Ans and Nisarg Dashas. The
Lord of Dasha is Dasha Pachak of full part, the Grah, associated
with, is Pachak of ½ part, the Grah in Trikon from him is
Pachak of l/3 part and the Grah in the 4
th and
8
th from him are Pachak of ¼ part, the Grah in
the 7
th from him is Pachak of l/7 part of the Dasha.
No Grah in any other Bhava is Antar Dash Pachak. In this manner
there are Antar Dasha Pachakas in the above-mentioned Bhavas
from the various Bhavas, including Lagn. In any of such Bhavas,
if there are more than one Grah, then the one, who is the
strongest amongst them will be the Pachak. Take the fractions
and reduce them in equivalent fractions with a common
denominator. Add up the aliquot parts of the Dasha,
representative of the various numerators, leaving out the
denominators. The Antar Dashas will be arrived at, when the
various aliquots are converted into years, months etc. within
the main Dasha and divided by the above sum. (The calculations,
given above, are not the literal translation of the text in the
verses concerned, but their actual meaning and sense. This has
been got confirmed by checking up with similar information,
given in Kalyana Varma’s Saravali and Varamihir’s Brihat
Jatak)
