RULE 1) A planet, even if exalted in rasi chart, if debilitated in navamsa
can cause rajabhanga Neecha Yoga.
{Notes:
a) If the said planet in the Kendra or trikona from Arudha Lagna and is a
benefic, then the native himself has Rajabhanga Yoga.
b) If the said planet is a benefic and is in a dusthana like 3 or 6 from
arudha Lagna, then the natives enemies have Rajabhanga and the native
actually enjoys Rajyoga.
c) If the said planet is a malefic in Kendra or Trikona from Arudha Lagna
then the native enjoys Rajyoga by the destruction of evil around him.
d) If the said planet is a malefic and is placed in the 3 or 6 from AL, then
the native although aspiring for rajyoga will lose to his enemies.
RULE 2) The sign in the second house from the Navamsa Lagna as viewed in the
rasi chart, shall be the focus for the past Karma of the native to fructify
in this life. For example, if the Navamsa Lagna is in the 11th house from
Natal Lagna, then the second from this is the sign in the 12th house from
Natal lagna. this deals with Moksha and Jaimini accordingly prescribes
spirituality and Moksha.
RULE 3) The chara Karakas placed in kendra and trikona from the Navamsa
Lagna shall prosper whereas those in dusthana shall suffer. For example even
if the Atmakaraka is strong in the rasi chart, if it is in the 6th house the
native shall be afflicted by diseases.

a sophisticated navamsa-method
some of the nadis have a peculiar way of judging the navamsa position of
planets. they consider the sign occupied by the planet as a kind of navamsalagna
for that planet, while the sign indicated by its navamsa position would be its
actual house-position of the planet counted from that lagna.
therefore, if a planet is placed in aries sign, gemini navamsa, then it is
considered to be in the 3rd house. if in libra sign, scorpio navamsa, it would be
considered to be in the 2nd house.
vargottama means being in same sign and navamsa, and it is considered to be a
very strong placement. according to the point of view of the nadis, a
vargottama-planet works exactly like a planet in the ascendant, which makes it
highly important, since it has a direct influence on the 1st house matters like
personality, character, physical shape etc. of the person.
i would like to show an example of how to use transits and navamsa with this
sophisticated old navamsa-technique. in this case we only need the precise
position of two natal planets:
1) mars 02:55 pisces
2) jupiter 22:06 taurus
5th house
jupiter and mars are both in cancer navamsa - where jupiter is exalted and mars
is debilitated. mars is in pisces and therefore pisces becomes navamsa-lagna for
mars in cancer navamsa. so mars goes to the 5th house with jupiter. this gives
the following information about the 5th house matters:
1) mars is in the 5th house, which is bad and further it is debilitated - but mars is
still a masculine planet indicating male children.
2) jupiter in the 5th house which is bad if supported by another malefic indication,
but in this case jupiter is exalted, thus indicating benefic results.
3) the exalted jupiter in the 5th house indicates five sons, but the presence of
debilitated mars seems to indicate that this number can be reduced by three, as
mars indicate the number three.
4) the final result will be only two living sons. as a matter of fact the 5th house
being the sign cancer ruled by the moon also indicates this number, since moon
indicates the number two.
in nadi-astrology the number indicated by a planet is the number of the weekday
of that planet. no. 8 and 9 are however ruled by rahu and ketu. it works like this:
no. 1 = sunday (sun)
no. 2 = monday (moon)
no. 3 = tuesday (mars)
no. 4 = wednesday (mercury)
no. 5 = thursday (jupiter)
no. 6 = friday (venus)
no. 7 = saturday (saturn)
no. 8 = rahu
no. 9 = ketu
they can be divided into either odd or even numbers, this way:
odd (1, 3, 5, 7 & 9) = sun, mars, jupiter, saturn and ketu
even (2, 4, 6 and 8) = moon, mercury, venus and rahu
please observe that the odd numbers include the masculine planets, while the
even numbers include the feminine ones. however, if we want to find out the
number of something from the chart, it maybe useful to see if the odd or even
planets are dominating in the relevant house. in many cases it will be sufficient to
know if the person has an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) or an even number (2, 4, 6,
8) of siblings, children, wives or whatever.
anyway, in this present case there is a qualified significator of sons in cancer
navamsa, sons can be predicted when jupiter or saturn transits cancer rasi or its
trines.
actually the person got the first out of two sons when jupiter was in cancer itself,
but the birth was followed severe psychological troubles for this person. this is
because of mars in cancer gets much too emotional.
the second son was born when saturn was transitting in scorpio in trine to cancer.
8th house
if we look at this from the position of jupiter in taurus, then jupiter becomes the
8th lord, and thereby qualified significator of the 8th house (death).
because of this, mars and jupiter in cancer navamsa give the information that the
8th-lord is with mars and thereby indicating the possibility of an unnatural or even
violent death.
this means that at some point when jupiter or saturn transits in cancer or its
trines, the person may suffer an unnatural death.
this actually happened when saturn was transitting in cancer. by digging deeper
into this chart a good nadi-astrologer could also have predicted the precise cause
of death and a lot of other details.
another example
a male person had his natal saturn placed at 20:13 degrees libra in aries
navamsa. so according to this ancient nadi-method it would be like having
libra-ascendant with saturn debilitated in the 7th house. as one can imagine this
would indicate some disturbing results regarding marriage.
now please observe that he was married at the age of 29½ when saturn returned
to its own natal position and triggered this bad 7th-house-promise. it therefore
became a very saturnian marriage of disharmony and lack of mutual
understanding and trust. this was not without good reason: his wife had her natal
saturn right on his ascendant, and in return his natal saturn was right on her
ascendant!
according to nadi astrology, saturn destroys a house when it transits the 8th
house from it. considering the libra-ascendant with debilitated saturn in the 7th,
the timing of the bad results would be when saturn transitted scorpio, the 2nd
house from libra. this is because 2nd house is the 8th from the 7th house.
actually, this person experienced a very painful divorce when saturn was
transitting in scorpio at the age of 32. this event was also indicated in the
vimsottari dasa, as the person was running venus-rahu, and rahu is placed in the
2nd house (8th from the 7th) from his ascendant.

Ch. 47. Effects of Dashas
1. Maitreya said. O Mahri Parashara! You have told me about the different kinds of Dashas. Now be kind
enough to enlighten me with the effects of Dashas.
2. Mahri Parashara replied. O Brahmin! There are two kinds of
effects of Dashas: general and distinctive. The natural
characteristics of the Planets cause the general effects and the
distinctive effects are realized by their placements etc.
3.
3-4. The effects of the Dashas of the Planets are in accordance with their strength. The effects of a
Planet in the first Dreshkan are realized at the commencement of the Dasha. The Planet in the
second Dreshkan makes its effects felt in the middle of the Dasha. The effects of the Planet in the
third Dreshkan are experienced at the end of the Dasha. If the Planet is retrograde, these effects
would be in the reverse order. The Dasha effects of Rahu and Ketu, who are always retrograde, will
always be realized in the reverse order.
5-6. The effects are favourable, if at the commencement of the Dasha the Dasha Lord is in Lagna, in
his exaltation, own, or a Shant Ri. The results are unfavorable, if the Dasha Lord is in 6th, 8th, or
12th House, in his debilitation, or in an inimical Ri.
220
220
7-11. During the Dasha of Sun there is acquisition of wealth, great felicity and honors from the
Government, if at the time of birth Sun is in his own Ri, in his exaltation Ri, in a Kendra, in
11th, be associated with the Lord of 9th, or the Lord of 10th and strong in his Varga. The native will
be blessed with a son (children), if Sun is with the Lord of 5th. The native will acquire elephants
and other kinds of wealth, if Sun is associated with the Lord of 2nd. The native will enjoy comforts
of conveyances, if Sun is associated with the Lord of 4th. He attains a high position, like that of
Army Chief, by the beneficence of the king and enjoys all kinds of happiness. Thus during the
Dasha of a strong (and favourable) Sun there are acquisitions of clothes, agricultural products,
wealth, honors, conveyances etc.
12-15. During the Dasha of Sun there will be anxieties, loss of wealth, punishment from
Government, defamation, opposition by kinsmen, distress to father, (in)auspicious happenings at
home, distress to paternal and maternal uncles etc., anxiety and inimical relations with other
people for no reason whatsoever, should Sun be in his Ri of debilitation, be weak in 6th, 8th, or
12th, or be associated with malefic Planets, or with the Lord of 6th, 8th, or 12th. There will be some
favourable effects at times, if in the above situations Sun receives a Aspect from benefic Planets.
The effects will always be unfavorable, when malefic Planets give a Aspect to Sun.
16-22. O Brahmin! After describing the effects of the Dasha of Sun in brief, I will now come to the effects of
Vimshottari Dasha of Moon. During the Dasha of Moon from its commencement to the end there will be
opulence and glory, good fortune, gain of wealth, auspicious functions at home, dawn of fortune, attainment
of a high position in Government, acquisition of conveyances, clothes, birth of children and acquisition of
cattle, should Moon be in her exaltation, in her own Ri, in Kendra, in 11th, 9th, or 5th, be associated with,
or receives a Aspect from benefics, be fully powerful and is associated with the Lord of 10th, 9th, or 4th.
There will be extraordinary gains of wealth and luxuries, if such a Moon is in 2nd House.
23-26. Should Moon be waning, or in her debilitation Ri, there will be loss of wealth in her Daha. If Moon
is in 3rd, there will be happiness off and on. If Moon is associated with malefics, there will be idiocy, mental
tension, trouble from employees and mother and loss of wealth. If waning Moon is in 6th, 8th, or 12th, or is
associated with malefics, there will be inimical relations with Government, loss of wealth, distress to mother
and similar evil effects. If a strong Moon is placed in 6th, 8th, or 12th there will be troubles and good times
off and on.
27-32. If Mars is in his exaltation, in his MulaTrikonaa, in his own Ri, in Kendra, in 11th, or 2nd House with
strength, in a benefic Aa (Navma) 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 Mars with
strength is placed in a Kendra, or in 3rd, there will be gain of wealth through valor, victory over enemies,
happiness from wife and children. There will, however, be a possibility of some unfavorable effects at the
end of the Dasha.
222
222
33. If Mars is in his debilitation Ri, weak, in an inauspicious House, or is associated with, or
receives a Aspect from malefics, there will be in his Dasha loss of wealth, distress and similar
unfavorable effects.
34-39. In order to cl6thfy the effects of the Dasha of Rahu I shall first mention the exaltation and debilitation Ris of
Rahu and Ketu. The exaltation Ri of Rahu is Taurus. The exaltation Ri of Ketu is Scorpio. The MulaTrikonaas of
Rahu and Ketu are Gemini and Sagittarius. The own Ris of Rahu and Ketu are Aquarius and Scorpio. Some sages
have expressed the view, that Virgo is the own Ri of Rahu and Pisces is the own Ri of Ketu. Should Rahu be in his
exaltation Ri 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 Aspect from benefics, be in a benefic Ri and be in 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th,
11th, or 3rd, 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.
40-43. If Rahu is in 8th, or 12th House, there will be during his Dasha all kinds of troubles and distress. If
Rahu is associated with a malefic, or a Marak Planet, or is in his debilitation Ri, there will be loss of
position, destruction of his residential house, mental agony, trouble to wife and children and misfortune of
getting bad food. There will be loss of wealth at the commencement of the Dasha, some relief and gain of
wealth in his own country and distress and anxieties during the last portion of the Dasha.
223
223
44. Now I am going to describe the effects of the Dasha of Jupiter, the great benefic and preceptor
of the Gods.
45-48. If Jupiter is in his exaltation, his own Ri, his MulaTrikonaa, in 10th, 5th, or 9th House, in
his own Navma, or in his exalted Navma, there will be during his Dasha: acquisition of
kingdom, great felicity, recognition by Government, acquisition of conveyances and clothes,
devotion to deities and Brahmins, happiness in respect of his wife and children and success in the
performance of religious sacrifices (oblations.
49-51. If Jupiter is in his debilitation Ri, combust, associated with malefics, or in 6th, or 8th, there will be
during his Dasha loss of residential premises, anxiety, distress to children, loss of cattle and pilgrimage. The
Dasha will give some unfavorable effects at its commencement only. During the later part of the Dasha there
will be good effects, like gain of wealth, awards from and recognition by Government.
52. Now I will describe to you the effects of the Dasha of Saturn, who is considered the vilest and most
inferior amongst all the Planets.
53-56. If Saturn is in his exaltation, in his own Ri, or in MulaTrikonaa, or friendly Ri, in his own, or
exalted Navma and in 3rd, or 11th, there will be during his Dasha recognition by Government, opulence
and glory, name and fame, success in the educational sphere, acquisition of conveyances and ornaments
etc., gain of wealth, favours from Government, attainment of a high position, like Commander of an Army,
acquisition of a kingdom, benevolence of goddess Lakshmi, gain of property and birth of children.
57-60. If Saturn is in 6th, 8th, or 12th, in his debilitation Ri, or combust, there will be during his Dasha ill
effects from poison, injury from weapons, separation from father, distress to wife and children, disaster, as a
result of displeasure of Government, imprisonment etc. If Saturn receives a Aspect from, or is associated
with a benefic, is placed in a Kendra, or in a Trikona, in Sagittarius, or in Pisces, there will be acquisition of a
kingdom, conveyances and clothes.
61. Now I am going to describe the effects of the Dasha of Mercury, who is called a Kumar (in his teens)
amongst all the Planets.
62-65. If Mercury is in his exaltation, in his own, in a friendly Ri, or in 11th, 5th, or 9th, there will be during his Dasha
acquisition of wealth, gain of reputation, improvement in knowledge, benevolence of Government, auspicious
functions, happiness from wife and children, good health, availability of sweetish preparations, profits in business etc.
If Mercury receives a Aspect from a benefic, is in 9th, or is the Lord of 10th, the aforesaid beneficial results will be
experienced in full and there will be great felicity all-round.
66-70. If Mercury is associated with a malefic, there will be during his Dasha punishment by Government, inimical relations with
kinsmen, journey to a foreign country, dependence on others and the possibility of urinary troubles. If Mercury is in 6th, 8th, or
12th, there will be loss of wealth, due to indulgence in lascivious activities, possibility of suffering from rheumatism and jaundice,
danger of thefts and malevolence of Government, loss of land and cattle etc. At the commencement of the Dasha of Mercury, there
will be gains of wealth, betterment in the educational sphere, birth of children and happiness. In the middle of the Dasha, there will
be recognition from Government. The last part of the Dasha will be distressful.
71. Now I will tell you about the Dasha of Ketu, who is a headless trunk (Kabandha) amongst all the Planets.
72-77. If Ketu is in a Kendra, a Trikona, or in 11th, in a benefic Ri, in his exaltation, or in his own Ri, there will be
during his Dasha cordial relations with the king, desired headship of a country, or village, comforts of conveyances,
happiness from children, gain from foreign countries, happiness from wife and acquisition of cattle. If Ketu is in 3rd,
6th, or 11th, there will be in his Dasha acquisition of a kingdom, good relations with friends and opportunities for the
acquisition of elephants. At the commencement of the Ketu Dasha there will be Raja Yoga. During the middle portion
of the Dasha there will be possibilities of fearfulness and in the last part there will be sufferings from ailments and
journeys to distant places. If Ketu is in 2nd, 8th, or 12th, or receives a Aspect from a malefic, there will be
imprisonment, destruction of kinsmen and residential premises and anxieties, company of menials and diseases.
78. Now I will describe the effects of the Dasha of Venus, who is the incarnate of intoxication, ecstasy, delight and
pride amongst all the Planets.
79-82. If Venus is in his exaltation, in his own Ri, or in a Kendra, or a Trikona, there will be during his Dasha
acquisition of fancy clothes, ornaments, conveyances, cattle and land etc., availability of sweet preparations every
day, recognition from the sovereign, luxurious functions of songs and dances etc. by the benevolence of Goddess
Lakshmi. If Venus is in his MulaTrikonaa, during his Dasha there will definitely be acquisition of a kingdom, acquisition
of a house, birth of children and grandchildren, celebration of marriage in the family, attainment of a high position, like
the Commander of an Army, visits of friends, recovery of lost wealth, property, or kingdom.
83-84. If Venus is in 6th, 8th, or 12th, there will be during his Dasha inimical relations with kinsmen, distress to wife,
losses in business, destruction of cattle and separation from relations.
85-87. If Venus is in 4th, as Lord of 9th, or 10th, there will be during his Dasha attainment of rulership of a country, or village,
performance of pious deeds, like building of reservoirs and temples and giving grains etc. in ch6thty, availability of sweet
preparations every day, vigor in work, name and fame and happiness from wife and children.
88-89. Similar are the effects of Venus in his sub-periods. If Venus is Lord of 2nd, or 7th, there will be during his Dasha
physical pains and troubles. To get alleviation from those troubles the native should perform Shatarudriya, or
Mrityunjaya Japa in the prescribed manner and give in ch6thty a cow, or female buffalo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. If the Lord of 10th is placed in an auspicious House in his exaltation Ri etc., his Dasha effects will be
favourable. The effects will be adverse, if the Lord of 10th is in his debilitation Ri and occupies an
inauspicious House. This proves, that an inauspicious Planet in his exaltation Ri etc. will not produce
unfavorable results, if placed in an auspicious House and a benefic, being in his debilitation Ri and being
placed in an inauspicious House, will produce adverse effects. Now I will describe the effects of the Dasha of
the Lords of various Houses, who are related to each other.
2-4. There will be physical well-being in the Dasha of the Lord of Lagna, distress and possibility of death in
the Dasha of the Lord of 2nd, unfavorable effects in the Dasha of the Lord of 3rd, acquisition of house and
land in the Dasha of the Lord of 4th, progress in educational sphere and happiness from the children in the
Dasha of the Lord of 5th and danger from enemies and ill health in the Dasha of the Lord of 6th.
5-8. There will be distress to wife and the possibility of the death of the native in the Dasha of the Lord of 7th,
the possibility of death and financial losses in the Dasha of the Lord of 8th, improvement in the educational
sphere, religious-mindedness and unexpected gains of wealth in the Dasha of the Lord of 9th, recognition
from and awards by the Government in the Dasha of the Lord of 10th, obstacles in gains of wealth and the
possibility of diseases in the Dasha of the Lord of 11th and distress and danger from diseases in the Dasha
of the Lord of 12th. A Planet, placed in an auspicious House, like Trikona etc., at the commencement of the
Dasha, produces favourable results in his Dasha. The Planet, placed in 6th, 8th, or 12th at that time, yields
only adverse results during his Dasha. It is therefore essential, that the placement of a Planet at the time of
birth and at the commencement of the Dasha should both be taken into account for the assessment of the
Dasha effects.
14-17. The Dasha of 6ths, 8ths, or 12ths Lord also becomes favourable, if they get associated with the Lord
of a Trikona. If the Lord of a Kendra is in a Trikona, or the Lord of a Trikona is in a Kendra, the Dasha of the
Planet, conjunct with either of them, becomes favourable. The Dasha of a Planet, receiving a Aspect from the
Lord of a Kendra, or Trikona is also favourable. If 9ths Lord is in Lagna and Lagnas Lord is in 9th, the
Dashas of both of them will produce extremely beneficial results. There will be acquisition of a kingdom in
the Dashas of Lagnas Lord and 10ths Lord, if 10ths Lord is in Lagna and Lagnas Lord is in 10th.
18-20. The Dasha of 3rds, 6ths and 11ths Lord, of the Planets, placed in 3rd, 6th and 11th and of the Planets,
conjunct with the above, will prove unfavorable. The Dasha of the Planets, associated with the Lords of
Marak Houses, namely 2nd and 7th, in 2nd, or 7th and the Dashas of the Planets, placed in 8th, will produce
unfavorable effects. Thus the Dashas should be considered favourable, after taking into account the
placement of a Planet and his relationship of one Planet with the other. (Rahu and Ketu give favourable
results in 3rd, 6th and 11th).
