DASA – PADDATI & PREDICTIONS

Whatever may be the planetary position in a horoscope, life
of a native does not remain uniform. Life is a cycle of good
and bad periods. During course of life, native has to face many
obstacles, hardships etc. to protect his rights and achieve success,
fight against environment and circumstances. Contrary
to this, many times success in achieved without any significant
efforts. This phenomenon can best be explained by Dasa –
Paddati. According to Main periods, Sub – periods and Sub
– Sub – periods of different planets, native goes on getting
the results. These results may be favourable or unfavoruable
depending upon overall strength of these planets in a horoscope.
Although number of Dasa – Systems have been in practice
since ancient times, most important of these Dasa – Systems
are :-
1. VIMSHOTTARI
2. ASHTOTTARI
3. YOGINI
1. VIMSHOTTARI:
In this system life span has been taken as 120 years. This is
based on Nakshtras. In this system cycle begins with Kritika
Nakshtra whose ruler is Sun. Dasa period of native starts
with his
89
Janma – Nakshtra only. The period assigned to different planets
and various Nakshtras for which dasa of a particular planet
will be applicable can be explained by following table:-
Planet Sun Moon Mars Rahu Jupiter
Years 6 10 7 18 16

Anuradha Jyeshta Moola Poorvaashada

2. ASHTOTTARI:
In this system life span has been considered as 108 years.
This is also based on Nakshtras. 28 Nakshtras are considered
in this system. This additional Nakshtra is called
‘ABHIJIT’ which is the 4th pad of Uttar Ashada and 15th
part of beginning of Shravana. ‘Abhijit’ Nakshtra has been
added in the honour of Sri Ran Chandra Ji as he was supposed
to be born in this part of Rasi. This Nakshtra has been
considered benefic and its lord is Jupiter. This system has 8
planets as there is no place for Ketu.
90
Generally cycle is started from Ardra Nakshtra and therefore
this system is also known as Ardradi – Dasha. Some astrologers
consider the beginning of cycle from Kritika Nakshtra
and in that case it is known as Kritikadi – Dasha. There are
different theories of applying Ardradi and Kritakadi Dasha
systems. These are as under : -
Ardradi
According to Brihat – Parasher, if there is any planet in lagna,
Ardradi is used. According to other theories if Rahu is posited
in 4th, 7th , 10th, 5th, and 9th houses from lagnesh, Ardradi
is used.
Kritikadi
According to Brihat – Parasher if there is no planet in lagna,
Kritikadi is used.
In Ardradi system starting from Ardra, 4 Nakshtras in malefic
planets and 3 Nakshtra in benefic planets are taken,
whereas in Kritikadi system, starting from Kritika, four
Nakshtras in benefic planets and 3 Nakshtras in Malefic planets
are taken. However total number of years in both the
systems remains the same.
The years assigned to various planets and Nakshtras in the
case of Ardrai Ashottari Dasa system can be explained by
the following table :-

3. YOGINI:
This system does not treat planets for their periods, rather
periods belong to imaginary ‘Shaktis’ and which give results
as their names stand for. In ‘Tantra Shastra’ there is a reference
of 8 yogini shaktis. They are said to be controlling the
human destiny. It is considered that this Dasa – system was
originated by Lord Shiva. These eight Yogini shaktis are
Mangla, Pingla, Dhanya, Bhramri, Bhadrika, Ulka, Siddha
and Sankata. In this Dasa system complete cycle is of 36
years and the same is repeated after completion of 36 years.
The ‘Saktis’, planets, years, Nakshtras and their results in
this system can be explained from the following table:-

After having discussed the different Dasa systems in vogue,
let us analyze the conditions under which these are to be made
use of. There are different theories. Let us look into these.
(i) Man Sagri – According to Man Sagri, two conditions
have been given under which Vimshottari or Ashtottari
Dasa system are to be used :
(a) In case of birth during Shukla Paksha use Ashtottari and
in Krishna Paksha use Vimshottari.
(b) For southern part of ‘Vindhya’ mountain use Ashtottari
and for northern part use Vimshottari.
(ii) Laghu Parashari – Ashottari is used in South India,
Vimshottari is used in North India, while ‘Yogini’ is used
in Punjab.
(iii) Parashar Hora Shastra – Ashtottari is applied when birth
is during day in Krishna Paksha or at night in Shukla
Paksha. In the contrary condition Vimshottari is to be
applied.
(iv) Modern Concepts
93
(a) Ashtottari is used in Gujrat, Saurashtra, Katch, Panchal,
Almora, and Sindh.
(b) If birth during night in Shukla Paksha and during day in
Krishna Paksha – Vimshottari is to be used.
(c) If birth during day in Shukla Paksha and during night in
Krishna Paksha – Ashtottari is to be used.
(d) If birth during Shukla Paksha or during day or during Hora
of Sun – Vimshottari is to be used.
(e) If birth during Krishna Paksha or during night or during
Hora of Moon – Ashtottari is to be used.
Vimshottari Dasa system is considered to be best amongst all
Dasa system. It is said that in the present kaliyug, best results
can be obtained only be using Vimshottari Dasa System.
Since most popular Dasa System is Vimshottari, we should
know how to calculate Main period, sub periods and
Sub – sub periods. As already discussed in the beginning Dasa
Lord at the time of birth is the same as Lord of birth Nakshtra.
Balance Dasa at the time of birth can be found by longitude of
moon and balance period will be proportional to the part of
Nakshtra, which has already passed at the time of birth.
To find out Sub – period, either of the following method can
be used:-
(i)Sub period = Dasa Lord Period x Sub – planets period
Years
120
e.g. if we have to find sub – period of Moon in the main
period of Sun then Moon’s sub – period will be
94
6 x 10 = 1 year = 6 months.
120 2
(ii)Sub – period = Dasa lord period x sub – planet period x
3 days e.g. Moon’s sub period of Sun will be 6 x 10 x 3 days
= 180 days = 6 months.
(iii)Multiply period in years to both Dasa Lord & Sub planet.
Last digit of this multiplication multiplied by 3 gives days and
balance digits give months of sub – period. For example for
calculating Sun’s sub – period in the main period of Sun multiply
6 x 6 = 36. Last digit of this multiplication i.e., 6 when
multiplied by 3 i.e. 18 are the days and balance digit i.e. 3 is
the number of months. Therefore Sun’s sub – period in the
main period of Sun is 3 months and 18 days.
To find out Sub –sub period, either of the following methods
can be use:-
(i)Sub – sub period
Dasa Period x Sub planet period x sub sub planet period
years
120 x 120
e.g. Moon’s sub – sub period in the sub period of Mars & in
the main period of Sun will be
6 x 7 x 10 = 420 .
120 x 120 120 x 120
= 7 . years or 7 .x 360 days = 21 days or 10 days 12 hrs.
240 240 2
95
(ii)Sub – sub period:
Dasa period x sub planet period x sub sub planet period
Days
40
Therefore, Sub – sub period of Moon in the Sub period of
Mars in the main period of Sun will be :
6 x 7 x 10 days = 21 days = 10 days 12 hrs.
40 2
After knowing the calculation of Dasa of main planet, sub
planet and sub – sub planets, we have to consider the results.
Any planet during its entire main period may not give uniform
results. The results will vary depending upon the sub- periods
lord. Out of these two, the planet, which is stronger, will be
predominant in giving results. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary
to have an idea of planet’s total strength which is a
combination of Positional, Directional, Temporal, Motional,
Permanent and Aspect strength.
All planets in their Dasa and their own sub – period do not
give auspicious or inauspicious results according to their nature.
Even Marak planets do not become killer in such a situation.
The relation between Dasa Lord and Sub – period lords
can be of 6 kinds (I) Planets who are related and like, (ii)
Related but unlike, (iii) Related but neutrals, (iv) Unrelated
and like, (v) Unrelated and unlike, and (vi) Unrelated but
neutrals. Planets belonging to 1st category give most auspicious
results in the sub – period. After that planets go on
giving comparatively lesser and lesser effects.
96
During the main Dasa of malefic planets the results are invariably
unfavourable in the sub – period of unrelated benefics,
mixed results in the sub – period of related benefics and these
results are specially bad in the Sub – period of unrelated Yog
Karakas. Marak Planets do not become a killer during the
main Dasa and sub – period of related benefics. Rather they
become Marak during the period of unrelated malefics.

CALCULATION OF MAIN PERIODS and SUB PERIODS
VIMSHOTTARI DASA SYSTEM:-
The details of Vimshottari Dasa and periods assigned to
different planets have already been discussed above. The main
period running at a particular time will be the lord of Nakshtra
in which Moon is posited. Depending upon the longitude of
Moon and by calculating the degrees of the particular Nakshtra
already passed, we can calculate balance of dasa of main
planet on proportionate basis However for this purpose we
can make use of above table which serves as a ready reekoner
to calculate balance of main period depending upon the
longitude of moon.
Example 1. - Longitude of Moon given at the time of birth is
6s 130 20’. Calculate balance of main period at the time of
birth.
Ans : Moon is in Libra sign and therefore from the table if we
see corresponding to 130 12’ in column no. 3, we find the
main dasha running is of Rahu and balance periods is 9 years
0 months 0 Days. In this case Moon is in Swati Nakshtra
whose lord is Rahu.
Example 2. - Longitude of Moon given at a particular time is
10s 270 23’ Calculate balance of main period.
Ans:- Moon in the case is in Aquarius sign and in Purva
Bhadrapad Nakshtra whose lord is Jupiter. Therefore main
period running should be of planet Jupiter whose total period
is 16 years.
104
If we make use of the above table, we see that corresponding
to 270 20’ when moon is in Aquarius sign, the main period
running is of Jupiter and balance period is 12 years. For 3’
using ‘Proportional Parts for Dasa of Planets table, we find
that corresponding to 3’ and Jupiter 0 month and 22days are
to be further subtracted. Therefore balance main period will
be (12y 0M 0D – 0M 22D) = 11 years 11 Months and 8
Days.
Calculation of sub – periods and sub – sub periods has already
been explained while discussing Vinshottari Dasa System.
YOGINI DASA SYSTEM :-
For finding out the main period whose dasa is running we
calculate the number of Nakshtra (From 1 to 27) in which
Moon is posited. Then we find the remainder from the formula
Number Of Nakshtra +3
8
Depending on the remainder from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 0 the
main period will be of Mangla, Pingla, Dhanya, Bhramari,
Bhadrika, Ulka, Siddha and Sankata respectively.
For example if Moon is in Pusya Nakahara i.e. in 8, the
remainder in the calculation (8+3 = 11 ) will be 3 i.e. the
8 8
The main period running will be of Dhanya Yogini dasha. If
Moon is in Revati Nakshtra i.e. in 27, the remainder in the
calculation
( 27+ 3 / 8 = 30/ 8) will be 6 i.e. the main period running
105
will be of Ulka.
The balance main period of Yogini dasha can be calculated
on proportionate basis depending upon the longitude of
nakshtra already passed .e.g. if longitude of moon given is 3s
7 0 1’, moon is in Pusya nakshtra and therefore Yogini main
dasa running should be of Dhanya as mentioned above. Pusha
Nakshtra commences from 3 s 3 0 20’ and ends at 3 s 16 0 40’
and therefore balance of nakshtra remaining is (3 s 16 0 40’ -
3 s 7 0 1’) i.e. 9 0 39’ i.e. 579’ whereas total duration of
nakshtra is 13 0 20’ i.e. 800’. Total period of Yogini Dhanya
Dasa is 3 years i.e. 3 x 360 days.
Therefore balance main period shall be
3 x 360 x 579 = 782
800
days = 2 years 2 months and 2 days of Dhanya yogini dasa.
To Calculate the sub – periods in yogini dasa we have the
multiplier 360/36 = 10 days. To calculate sub periods of
any main period the multiplier is multiplied by no of years of
main period and no. of years of sub – period which is to be
calculated.
For example if we want to find out sub – period of Dhanya in
main period of Mangla dasa, the same will be 10 x 5x 6 =
300 days = 10 months.
The sub – period of different yogini dasa are indicated in the
following table;-
