Note: 5n all the cases, if the yoga is auspicious, then the auspicious results of the dasa lord is felt and vice2versa

$hus the mahadasa lord gives its results only in the antardasa which is suitable. 6. $he dasa of the yoga#ara#a shall have following results in different antardasas a. b. c. d. e. f. 7. Antardasa of a related auspicious planet (yoga#ara#a or lord of trines), the results will be auspicious Antardasa of related yoga#ara#a, the results will be very auspicious Antardasa of related functional malefic planet (lord of the trisadayas and the eighth), the effect of the ra0ayoga would be extremely feeble Antardasa of a related mara#esh, only minor results would be present Antardasa of a unrelated auspicious planet, the results would be moderately auspicious Antardasa of unrelated functional malefic planet or mara#esh, the results would be extremely inauspicious2 however, some good results of the auspicious dasa lord shall also be felt

"uring the antardasa of a functional malefic (planets suffering with #endradhipatya dosa or the lords of the trisadaya or the eighth lord) planet, following results are felt a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. $he antardasa of a unrelated functional benefic( yoga#ara#a, the results of would be inauspicious $he antardasa of a related functional benefic, the results would be inauspicious2 lesser of the inauspicious dasa lord and more of the auspicious antardasa lord $he antardasa of the neutral planet shall give inauspicious results $he antardasa of related or unrelated functional malefic would be terrible2 more so in the case of related planet $he antardasa of functional benefic in dasa of a mara#esh, the person would not die, however the antardasa of an unrelated functional malefic can cause death. 5n the dasa of 8endra lord or $ri#ona lord, the results of different antardasa would be 5f 8endra and $ri#ona lord are associated, the in the dasa of the 8endra lord, $ri#ona lord9s antardasa would be auspicious and vice2 versa 5f 8endra and the $ri#ona lords are not related, then in the dasa of 1apa 8endra lord, the antar of 3ubha $ri#ona lord would be little auspicious, whereas the antar of papa $ri#ona lord would be inauspicious.

:. ;.

5n addition, during the dasa of a subha 8endra lord, the antar of a papa $ri#ona lord would be little auspicious and the antar of a subha $ri#ona lord, the results would be predominantly auspicious. 5n the dasa of 1apa $ri#ona lord, the antar of subha 8endra lord would be auspicious and antar of papa 8endra lord would be little auspicious (provided the $ri#ona lord is not eighth lord simultaneously) 5n the dasa of 3ubha $ri#ona lord, the antar of subha 8endra lord would be auspicious and the antar of the papa 8endra lord can be little auspicious, if it is associated with the $ri#ona lord. 5f there is no association between them, then the antar would be predominantly inauspicious.

1=. $he results of Antardasa in "asas of the -odes i. 5f the nodes are placed in $ri#ona, then the antar of the 8endra lords confer ra0ayoga. $his is also true during the dasa of 8endra lord and antardasa of the nodes so placed in $ri#ona ii. 3imilarly if the nodes are placed in 8endra, the antar of the $ri#ona lords confer ra0ayoga. $his is also true during the dasa of $ri#ona lord and antardasa of the nodes so placed in 8endra iii. 5f the nodes are placed in auspicious houses, then their antardasas in the dasa of a yoga#a#ara or during the antardasa of a yoga#ara#a in their (nodes) dasa, the results are extremely auspicious iv. 5f the nodes are associated with the ;th ( 12th house( lords, then their dasa( antardasa would be inauspicious

11. According to 1haladeepi#a, the dasa of a planet becomes inauspicious, if they fall in a particular se>uence as mentioned below i. 3aturn9s dasa happens to be ,th dasa ii. &ars9s dasa happens to be 6th dasa iii. +upiter9s dasa happens to be 7th dasa 12. "asa of planets placed in the ?asi 3andhi( @andanta is terrible to the house lorded by the planet and the natural significations of the planet. $he trouble would pass by in a malefic antar and would be lesser during the benefic antar. 1). $he dasa of sixth, eighth or twelfth is troublesome. $he trouble is lesser if the lord is well placed in exaltation, mulatri#ona, own sign or friend9s sign and would be more if badly placed in its debilitation sign or enemy9s sign. 1,. "uring the dasa of a planet, the native is endowed with the nature and complexion of the dasa lord. $he fiery planets would give brilliance, the watery planet would ma#e one emotional and compassionate, the earthy planets ma#e one hard wor#ing and the air planet would ma#e the person thoughtful and philosophical. Along with this, the native would parta#e the guna of the dasa lord. $hus during the +upiter, 3un and &oon9s dasa the native becomes sattvi#, during the dasa of *enus and &ercury, the native becomes ?a0asi# and during the dasa of &ars and 3aturn, the native becomes tamasi#. &ore effect of the guna of planets on the native can be learnt from .1A3 and 3aravali. 16. $he result of a planet going towards its exaltation increases as the dasa progresses and similarly, the dasa of a planet diminishes with progress of the dasa, if the dasa lord is going towards its debilitation (one sign behind the sign of debilitation) 17. &alefics give their results of its placement in a rasi during the first third part, the results of its placement in a bhava in the middle third and the results of its aspect in the last third of the dasa. 3imilarly .enefics give their results of their bhava in the beginning third, the result of rasi in the middle third and the aspects in the last third of the dasa. 1:. !hen the dasa and the antar2dasa lords are placed in the 7th( ;th or 12th from each other, these shows enmity, physical troubles, troubles from un#nown sources etc. 5f the antar lord is a friend to the dasa lord or the Bagna lord and well placed in the sign, then the trouble would be lessened. 'n the contrary, if the dasa2 antar lords are badly placed and the antar lord is an enemy to the dasa lord and( or the Bagna lord then the antar would be very troublesome. 1;. "uring the dasa of a planet, the house where the antar lord is placed the results of that house would be specifically felt. For example, if someone is running the dasa2 antar of 3un2 &oonC and &oon is placed in the 6th house from the dasa lord, them the 6th house effect would be specifically experienced. $he good or bad results to be experienced related to that bhava would be based on whether or not the dasa and antar lords are well placed. 1<. 5f the dasa lord is capable of give both good and bad results (such as a planet becoming an yoga#ara#a as well as maraca at the same time) by the virtue of its placement and yoga, then the good results would be felt during the antar of planets beneficially disposed and the negative results would be felt during to the antar of negatively disposed planets. 2=. "uring the dasa of a planet, whichever house it transits from the Bagna, the result of that particular house would be specifically felt during such transit. 21. $he results of the dasa are modified based on the transit of the dasa lords in different signs. 5f the dasa lord goes to an enemy9s sign or the sign of debilitation or the sign having lesser bindus (less than ,) in the dasa lord9s asta#avarga, or the sign having lesser bindus in the sarva2asta#avarga and

in addition having transiting a malefic house (rec#oned from &oon), then the effect would be extremely negative if the dasa is of an evil planet or if it is of an auspicious planet, then its auspiciousness would be greatly reduced. 22. 'n the contrary, if the dasa lord moves to its sign of exaltation( mulatri#ona( own( friend9s sign and ( or in a sign with high asta#avarga in the dasa lord9s asta#avarga, then the effect of the dasa during that time would be extremely good, if the dasa is of an auspicious planet or lesser troublesome, if the dasa is an evil dasa. 2). $he effect of the dasa planet can be seen in different areas of life from the "ivisional charts related to that particular area of life. $o understand this, one needs to study the divisional charts and then intelligently apply the dasa rules in those charts. 2,. 5n the mahadasa of a planet, the antar would be good if i. $he antar lord is a friend to the dasa lord ii. $he antar lord is a friend to the lagna lord iii. $he antar lord is well placed as rec#oned from the dasa lord iv. $he antar lord is related to the dasa lord v. $he antar lord is well placed as rec#oned from the &oon. 26. $he dasa of the 2nd and :th lord from a bhava becomes the mara#esh dasa for that bhava. 5f these planets are wea# and afflicted then it would surely cause trouble to the significations of the bhava under consideration. 27. 3imilarly during the dasa of the 12th lord from a bhava, the native suffers losses related the bhava under consideration 2:. "uring the dasa of the ;th lord from a bhava, the relations ruled by the concerned bhava suffers ill health, if the said planet is wea#ly placed and( or afflicted.
