Literal Translation: “A rasi dasa is divid-
ed into twelve [equal] parts and bhuktis
in dasa are to be said this way. Pratyan-
tardasas also should be done like this.
Then respective results should be said.
Whichever is stronger between the first
and seventh [from dasa sign], from
there. If dasa sign is odd, then countable
in the zodiacal order. For even signs,
in the anti-zodiacal order. There is one
more speciality here. O Brahmin, I am
speaking it [listen carefully]. In mov-
able signs, the path is undisturbed and
unchanged. In fixed signs, it is sixth
and every sixth. In dual signs, it is to
be known from the kantakas (1, 4, 7, 10)
reckoned from lagna, 5th house and 9th
house. In movable, fixed and dual signs
that are odd, the counting of all these is
forward as said before. In the same three
groups that are even, everything should
be understood to be reckoned anti-zodi-
acally.”
When finding the antardasas, there are
three aspects — (1) the starting sign or
seed, (2) the direction and (3) the pro-
gression. The starting sign or seed is
the stronger of dasa sign and 7th from
it. The direction of counting is zodia-
cal for odd dasa signs and anti-zodiacal
for even dasa signs. The progression is
based on whether the dasa sign is mov-
able or fixed or dual. For movable signs,

we go regularly — from one sign to the
next sign. For fixed signs, we take the
seed, 6th from it, 6th therefrom and so
on. For dual signs, we take the kanta-
kas (1st, 4th, 7th and 10th) reckoned
from the 1st, 5th and 9th houses. This
basically means that we take the ken-
dras, panapharas and apoklimas. The
first one-third of the dasa gives the an-
tardasas of kendras from dasa sign, the
middle one-third gives the antardasas
of panapharas and the last one-third
gives the antardasas of apoklimas.
However, panapharas start from the
5th house here instead of the 2nd house
and apoklimas start from the 9th house
here instead of the 3rd house.
The list below gives the antardasas in
the three groups:
(1) Movable signs: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th
&12th from seed
(2) Fixed signs: 1st, 6th, 11th, 4th, 9th,
2nd, 7th, 12th, 5th, 10th, 3rd & 8th
from seed
(3) Dual signs: 1st, 4th, 7th, 10th, 5th,
8th, 11th, 2nd, 9th, 12th, 3rd & 6th
from seed
The direction in which the above hous-
es are counted from the seed is zodiacal
or anti-zodiacal based on whether the
dasa sign is odd or even.
