PHALADEEPIKA OF MANTHRESWARA CHAPTER NINETEEN



एकोनविंशोद्धयायं : मन्त्रेश्वर विरचितायां फलदीपिक :  Phaladeepika Of     Manthreswara : Chapter 19 : दशाफल निर्णयं : Dasas and their Effects

1.   Sage Parashara who worshipped the NAVAGRAHAS in many ways for long time was blessed and bestowed upon him the knowledge of accurately predicting the effects of all planets in different houses. Being convinced that those are unfailing, Manthreswara says that he is taking the essence of PARASHARA’S FAMOUS script of Astrological works on “MAHA DASAS”. Note: - Parashara’s BRUHATH PARASHARA HORA SHAASTRA refers.

 “  ll  अग्न्यादितारपत्यो रविचन्द्रभौम-
         सर्प्पमरेङ्यशनिचन्द्रजकेतुशुक्राः  l
         तेनेनटः सनिजया चटुधान्यसौम्य-
         स्याने नखा निगदिताःशरदस्तु तेषाम्  ll  “.................२. 

2.      If we count the Nakshthras  from KRITHIKA in group of NINE NAKSHTHRAS will be having the DASAS starting from SUN (रवि), THE MOON (चन्द्रा), THE MARS (कुज अथवा अङ्गारक), RAHU or SARPI ( राहु अथवा सर्पि ), JUPITER (गुरू), SATURN ( शनि अथवा मन्दन ), MERCURY (बुध), KETHU (केतु अथवा शिखी),
and VENUS (शुक्र अथवा भृगु) .  In other words while RAVI DASA starts with KRITHIKA,  CHANDRA DASA will start from ROHINI and others in this order. For the beginner’s  sake I give the following table with No. of years the Dasa will give its result.

STARS                                                        STARTING DASA                                                          No. Of YEARS

KRITHIKA,U. PHALGUNI, U .ASHAADA                  RAVI  (र, ര, சூரியன்)                           6

Note :I do not know the logic behind  this fixation of age !                                                           Purusha Ayus    120 Years
Note: - In brackets I have given how they are written in a Horoscope .
“  ll  ऋृक्षस्य गम्या घटिका दशाद्बनि निघ्ना नताप्त स्वदशाब्दासंख्या  l
        रूपैर्नगैःसंगुणयेन्नतेन हृतास्तु मासा दिवसाः क्रमेण  ll  “...............३.

3.     in these verses, Manthreswara explains the method of finding the  Balance Dasa at the time of Birth.  Herein he says,  first to find out the GHATIKAS etc which are still to be traversed by the star in the MOON.
Afterwards to mulitiple these Ghatikas etc by the Total period of DASA and divide it by 60,  The quotient obtained from this process will show the reminder of No. of years to be passed after birth in the DASA .  Any reminder obtained in this process is to be converted first in months for which the reminder is to be multiplied by 30 and then to be divided  by  60 and thus to continue this process to get days and so on.

Now I am giving an example below : (Taken from MANTHRESWRA’s PHALADEEPIKA TRANSLATION WITH ORIGINAL SLOKAS BY DR. G.S.KAPOOR 

Suppose the Time of Birth the PUNARVASU STAR is still to complete 20 GHATIKAS AT THE TIME OF BIRTH.  Now let us find out Balance of GURU DASA which remains at the time of BIRTH.

               20 x 16 ((Total Period of Jupiter Dasa is 16 Years) = 16 =  5 years and Balance = 1
                   60                                                                              3
               1 x 12 /3 = 4 Months  Hence Balance Dasa At the time of Birth is  GURU DASA :
               5 Years and 4 months
                                    

“  ll  रविस्फुटं तज्जनने  यदासीत् तथाविधश्चेत्प्रति प्रतिवर्षमार्कः  l
        आवृत्तयः सन्ति दशाब्दकानां भागक्रमात्तद्दिवसाः प्रकल्प्या  ll  “........४.

4.    In *UDU DASA or NAKSHATHRA DASA or VIMSHOTTARI DASA (all means the same) ( उडु दश/नक्षत्र दश/विंशोत्तरी दश ) the exact position of the SUN in the Zodiac at the birth time of the native is to be found out. ( This is a difficult task since each watch shows different time )  When the sun reaches the same position the time taken to travers to that position is to be taken as ONE SOLAR YEAR which is the year for the VIMSOTTARI DASA in what is called as NAKSHATHRA DASA SYSTEM.  If we sub- divide the balance obtained we get the number of days. This method is very accurate and hence computerized horoscopes give the correct Dasa period provided we get the correct time of birth, and AYANAAMSA.

                                                 दशाफलं

“ ll  भानु करोति कलहं  क्षितिपालकोप –
       माकस्मिकं स्वजनरोगपरिभ्रमं च  l
        अन्योन्यवैरमतिदुःस्सहचित्तकोपम्
         गुप्त्यर्यधान्यसुतदारकृशानुपीडाम्  ll  “...................५.

5.     In general, if the SUN is placed badly during the time of birth, during the SUN’S DASA PERIOD, the person will get entangled in unnecessary quarrels, and will be subjected to the wrath of the KING or even his/her superiors (as per the present context).  There will be accidental difficulties to his/her close relatives and the person might also  be mentally upset. There will be quarrels between the native and others and will suffer from bitter anxieties or even will become mad or wander here and there and will be subjected to loss of wealth and decease to children and wife.
For readers’ sake I quote from parasara Hora Shastra the following text in SANSKRIT :-
“ मूलत्रुकोणेस्वक्षेत्रे स्वोच्चे वा परमोच्चगे l
 केन्द्रत्रुकोणलाभस्ये भाग्यकर्माधिपैर्युते ll.........५(a)
 सूर्ये बलसमायुक्ते निजवर्ग्गबलैर्युते  l

 अत्यन्तं राजसन्मानमश्वंदोल्यादिकं शुभम्  l

 धनेशस्य च सबन्द्धे गजान्दैरवर्यमादिशेत्  l

नृपाला तुष्टिचित्ताचित्ताद्यः सेनाधीशः सुखी नरः
वस्त्रवाहनलाभश्च दारायां बलिनो रवेः  ll..........(५)(e
In Paraashara  Horaashaasthra we find Him saying 1st the good effects of SUN DASA See Verses 7 to 11 in This Book. From verses 12 to 15 Paraashara Maharshi gives the adverse effects which are also given herein. Hence do not become an astrologer who tells only the bad effects of SUN DASA which most astrologers consider as bad.

नीचे सडशतके` सडष्टके रिःफे दुर्बले पापसंयुते l
राहुकेतुसमायुक्ते दुःस्थानाधिप संयुते ll  “-------५(f)

Herein Manthreswara gives the good results of RAVI DASA in a crisp manner (as given in verse 5.)

“  ll  क्रौर्यध्विभूपैः कलहैर्धनाप्तिं वनादिसन्चारमतिप्रसिद्धिम्  l
        करोति सुस्थो विजयं दिनेशस्तैक्ष्ण्यं सदोद्योदिगरतिं सुखं च  ll  “.......६.

6.      If the SUN is well placed, the native will acquire wealth by cruel means, travel and disputes, princely life roaming through forests, great fame, success in business, will be hot tempered, ill-natured, will devote in duties, will lead a happy life. ( Friends, I feel there is some difference from Sage Parashara and Manthreswara’s interpretation )

“  ll  मनःप्रसादं प्रकरोति चन्द्रःसर्वैर्थसिद्धिं सुखभोजनं च  l
        स्त्रीपुत्रभूपाम्बर रत्नी सिद्धिं गोक्षेत्रलाभं द्विजपूजनं च  ll  “.........७.

7.    The following are the effects during Moon Dasa :-
       (a) Peace of Mind   (b) Success in all efforts    (c) Wealth gain (d) Good Food

        मध्ये दशाहे परिपूर्ण वीर्यं तृतीयभागेऽल्पफलं क्रमेण  ll  “.............८.

8.    Results are to be declared after checking the strength of the moon.  During the first 10 days of a Lunar Month the effect will be moderate (मध्यं). After the first ten days the strength will be full during the last period i.e. when the moon is waning the effect will also
Gradually decrease. ( अल्प फलं क्रमेण )

“  ll  भौमस्य स्वदशाफलानि हुतभुग्भूपाहवाद्यैर्धनम्

Although the general effects are given above in VIMSHOTHARI DASA SYSTEM this should not be applied in all cases we are to follow the rules applied by PARASARA under this the 11th House (लाभस्थानम्) is termed as PAAPI (पापि) . Likewise the 3rd and the 6th HOUSES are also to be considered as BAD the effects of PAAPA is less in 3rd house, and the great malefic is the 11tth House.

       पतिजनितविभूतिःस्त्रीधनक्षेत्रसिद्धिः  l

I think being a general statement only, If moon  is having good strength and is positioned in an auspicious manner and in a  favorable house, then in my humple opinion the moon will give good results.

( Note :- Before I give the meaning of the above stanza which is attributable in GENERAL, I would like to add that RAHU AND KETHU being shadowy planets according to PARASHARA MAHARSHI , are said to give the effects of the Planets to which the houses in which RAHU & KETHU are situated )  “ ll तमौ ग्रहौ शुभास्व्ढाव सम्बन्धेन केनचित् अन्तर्दशानुरेण भवेतां योगकारकी ll The meaning is that when RAHU and KETHU are well placed it will give the native good results.
 ( .N0te :- Rahu & Kethu, although are two shadowy planets, their planetary movements are the same . In other words their time of stay  with each house will be I ½ years. While KETHU (SHIKHI) has MESHA as its House RAHU (SARPPI) has THULA as its house.Their UCHHA POSITIONS are VRISCHKA AND VRISHABHA respectively.  However, some experts opine  their Uchcha positions as DHANUS and MITHUNA respectively.  Yet some other experts opine  VRISHABHA and SIMHA as their Uchcha Rasis and KANYA AND MITHUNA as thir own houses respectively.
