And when it has passed from Siṃha into Mithuna, disease of the wife assuredly occurs; but when it has passed from Karka into Siṃha, destruction of the embodied ones results.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 105

Śloka 106 — Dhanus→Meṣa step; benefic/malefic association

पितृबन्धुमृतिं विद्याच्चापान्मेषे गते पुनः। क्रूरग्रहयुते भीतिं सौम्ययुक्ते शुभं दिशेत्॥ १०६॥

Again, when it has gone from Dhanus into Meṣa, one should know the death of a paternal kinsman [the father's brother]. When [the rāśi is] joined by a cruel graha one should indicate fear; when joined by a benefic, auspiciousness.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 106

Śloka 107 — General principle: read the Kālacakra daśā from rāśi and graha together

कालचक्रदशायास्तु फलं यच्च शुभाशुभम्। तद् वाच्यं राशिखगयोः पूर्वोद्घाशानिभागतः॥ १०७॥

Whatever auspicious or inauspicious result belongs to the Kālacakra daśā, that is to be declared from both the rāśi and the graha, according to the apportionment stated earlier.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 107

Śloka 108 — The stated results hold for all, in that daśā year and its direction

इत्थं मुने! समस्तानां तद्दशावत्सरे नृणाम्। यथानिर्दिष्टमेव स्यात् फलं भागे तु तद्दिशः॥ १०८॥

Thus, O Muni, for all men, in the year of that daśā the result shall be exactly as has been laid down; and in the [corresponding] quarter, that of the direction concerned.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 108

Śloka 109 — Direction-phala: Kanyā→Karka

कन्यातः कर्कटे याते पूर्वभागे महत् फलम्। उत्तरं देशमाश्रित्य शास्ता यात्रा भविष्यति॥ १०९॥

When it has passed from Kanyā into Karka, there is great fruit in the eastern quarter; and resorting to a northern country, the journey will be prosperous.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 109

Śloka 110 — Direction-phala: Siṃha→Mithuna

सिंहात्तु मिथुने याते पूर्वभागं परित्यजेत्। कार्यान्तेऽपि च नैर्ऋत्यां सुखं यात्रा भविष्यति॥ ११०॥

But when it has passed from Siṃha into Mithuna, one should abandon the eastern quarter; and at the conclusion of an undertaking a journey in the south-west (nairṛti) will be comfortable.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 110

Śloka 111 — Direction-phala: Karka→Siṃha

कर्कटात् गते सिंहे कार्यहानिरवाग्दिशि। दक्षिणां दिशमाश्रित्य प्रतीच्यां गमनं भवेत्॥ १११॥

When it has gone from Karka into Siṃha, there is loss of undertakings in the southern direction; having resorted to the south, one must then travel westward.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 111

Śloka 112 — Direction-phala: Mīna→Vṛścika and Dhanus→Makara

मीनात्तु वृश्चिके यात उदीच्यां याति सङ्कटम्। चापात्तु मकरे याते संकटं स्याच्च संशयः॥ ११२॥

When it has gone from Mīna into Vṛścika, one meets with distress in the north; and when it has gone from Dhanus into Makara, there will be distress and peril.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 112

Śloka 113 — Direction-phala: Dhanus→Meṣa and Dhanus→Vṛścika

चापान्मेषे तु यात्रायां गदो बन्धोर्मृतिर्भवेत्। सुखं सम्पत् कलत्रादिरपि याते तु वृश्चिके॥ ११३॥

But from Dhanus into Meṣa, on a journey there is illness and the death of a relative; whereas when it has gone into Vṛścika there is happiness, wealth, and a wife and the like.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 113

Śloka 114 — Direction-phala: Siṃha→Karka; benefic/malefic modifier

हरेः कुलीरके याते त्याज्याशा पश्चिमा बुधैः। सौम्ययोगे शुभं क्रूरे त्वशुभं फलमादिशेत्॥ ११४॥

When it has gone from Siṃha into Karka, the western quarter is to be shunned by the wise. With a benefic conjunction one should declare an auspicious result, but with a cruel one an inauspicious result.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 114

Śloka 115 — Kālacakrāṃśa phala — birth in Meṣa to Karka aṃśa

चौरः शूरः क्रियांशे स्याद् वृषभांशे श्रियान्वितः। युग्मांशे ज्ञानसम्पन्नः कुलीरांशे भवेन्नृपः॥ ११५॥

In the Meṣa (kriya) aṃśa one becomes a thief and a brave man; in the Vṛṣabha aṃśa, endowed with prosperity; in the Mithuna (yugma) aṃśa, possessed of knowledge; in the Karka (kulīra) aṃśa, he becomes a king.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 115

Śloka 116 — Kālacakrāṃśa phala — Siṃha to Vṛścika aṃśa

सिंहांशे राजपूज्यः स्यादङ्गनांशे बुधो भवेत्। तुलांशे राजमन्त्री स्यादलिांशे निर्धनो जनः॥ ११६॥

In the Siṃha aṃśa he is honoured by the king; in the Kanyā (aṅganā) aṃśa he becomes learned; in the Tulā aṃśa a royal minister; in the Vṛścika (ali) aṃśa the person is without wealth.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 116

Śloka 117 — Kālacakrāṃśa phala — Dhanus to Mīna aṃśa

चापांशे ज्ञानसंयुक्तो मकरांशे तु पापकृत्। कुम्भांशे च वणिक्कर्मा मीनांशे वसुधान्यवान्॥ ११७॥

In the Dhanus aṃśa he is joined with knowledge; in the Makara aṃśa a doer of evil; in the Kumbha aṃśa one whose occupation is trade; in the Mīna aṃśa possessed of wealth and grain.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 117

Śloka 118 — Malefics in the deha or jīva — death

सूर्यागुभौमशनिभिर्देहो जीवोऽथवान्वितः। एकैकयोगे मरणं बह्वयोगे तु का कथा॥ ११८॥

If the deha, or else the jīva, is attended by the Sun, Rāhu, Mars, or Saturn — even by a single one of them there is death; what then need be said of a conjunction of many?

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 118

Śloka 119 — Graded malefic affliction of deha and jīva

देहे पापैर्युते रोगो जीवे तैस्तु युतेऽतिभीः। मनोव्यथा च रुग् द्वाभ्यामपमृत्युस्त्रिभिः स्मृतः॥ ११९॥

When the deha is joined by malefics, disease; but when the jīva is joined by them, extreme fear. By two [malefics] mental anguish and illness; by three, an untimely death is declared.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 119

Śloka 120 — Four malefics; malefics in both deha and jīva

चतुर्भिस्तु भवेन्मृत्युर्नात्र कश्चन संशयः। देहे जीवे तूभयत्र पापग्रहयुतिर्यदा॥ १२०॥

But by four there is death — herein there is no doubt whatever. And when the conjunction of malefic grahas is in both places, in the deha and in the jīva —

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 120

Śloka 121 — Result of malefics in both; Sun and waning Moon

स्तेनादितो राजतो वा स्याद् भीर्मृत्युरपि ध्रुवम्। सूर्ये त्वनलजा भीतिः क्षीणचन्द्रे तु वारिभिः॥ १२१॥

— there is fear from thieves and the like or from the king, and death too is certain. With the Sun [in deha or jīva], fear born of fire; with a waning Moon, fear from waters.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 121

Śloka 122 — Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Ketu in deha or jīva

पीडाऽऽयुधाद् भूमिजे तु वातार्तिः शशिजे मता। मन्दे गुल्मामयोऽङ्गे तु गरलाद् भीः शिखिन्यपि॥ १२२॥

With Mars, affliction from weapons; with Mercury, distress from wind-disorders is held [to occur]. With Saturn, the gulma disease in the body; and with Ketu (śikhin) too, fear from poison.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 122

Śloka 123 — Benefics in the deha or jīva

शशिजो वा गुरुः शुक्रो देहे जीवेऽथवा गतः। सौख्यसम्पत्तिदास्तद्वद् व्याधिशोकापहाः समे॥ १२३॥

Mercury, or Jupiter, or Venus, gone into the deha or into the jīva, are givers of comfort and wealth, and likewise removers of disease and grief alike.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 123

Śloka 124 — General rule of benefic / malefic / mixed association

शुभाशुभैस्तत्र युक्ते शुभाशुभफलं स्मृतम्। मिश्रैर्मिश्रफलं वाच्यमिति सर्वत्र निश्चितम्॥ १२४॥

When [the deha or jīva] is there joined by benefics or by malefics, an auspicious or inauspicious result respectively is declared; when joined by mixed [grahas], a mixed result is to be stated. This is settled in every case.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 124

Śloka 125 — Daśā of a malefic's kṣetra vs a benefic's kṣetra

पापक्षेत्रदशामध्ये देहजीवौ तु दुःखितौ। शुभक्षेत्रदशायां तु शुभमत्र न संशयः॥ १२५॥

In the midst of the daśā of a malefic's kṣetra, the deha and the jīva are afflicted; but in the daśā of a benefic's kṣetra there is auspiciousness here — there is no doubt.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 125

Śloka 126 — Mixed results from benefic-in-bad-rāśi and malefic-in-good-rāśi

शुभाशुभग्रहयुताऽसत्सद्राशिगा दशा। क्रमान्मिश्रफला ज्ञेया जातकस्य सुधीजनैः॥ १२६॥

A daśā falling in a bad rāśi but joined by a benefic graha, and one falling in a good rāśi but joined by a malefic graha, are respectively to be known by the wise as yielding mixed results for the native.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 126

Śloka 127 — Cakra-daśā of the lagna rāśi

जननावसरे नृणां राशिर्यो लग्नगो भवेत्। कालचक्रदशायां तु तस्य, सौख्यं निरामयम्॥ १२७॥

Whichever rāśi stands in the lagna at the moment of a person's birth — in the Kālacakra daśā of that rāśi there is comfort free from illness.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 127

Śloka 128 — Benefic / malefic lagna rāśi; exalted grahas therein

सौम्ये पूर्णं सुखं क्रूरे तनौ व्याधिसमुद्भवः। स्वतुङ्गगग्रहैर्युक्ते लोकमान्यो नृपो भवेत्॥ १२८॥

If [that rāśi is] benefic, complete happiness; if cruel, the arising of disease in the body. If it is joined by grahas placed in their own ucca, he becomes a king honoured by the world.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 128

Śloka 129 — Cakra-daśā of the 2nd-bhāva rāśi

वित्तभावगराशेस्तु फलं चक्रदशोद्भवम्। सद्भोज्यमिष्टार्थलाभः स्त्रीसुतसुखसम्भवः॥ १२९॥

The result arising in the cakra-daśā of the rāśi occupying the wealth-bhāva: good food, the gaining of desired objects, and the arising of happiness from wife and sons.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 129

Śloka 130 — 2nd-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); benefic/malefic rāśi

वाग्वैदग्ध्यं च सद्विद्या भवेत् सद्भिश्च सङ्गतिः। सौम्यराशौ फलं त्वेवं पापराशौ तदन्यथा॥ १३०॥

There is skill in speech, good learning, and association with the good. In a benefic rāśi the result is thus; in a malefic rāśi it is otherwise.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 130

Śloka 131 — Cakra-daśā of the 3rd-bhāva rāśi

भ्रातृभावगराशेस्तु फलं चक्रदशोद्भवम्। सुखं भ्रातुः शूरता च धीरताऽपि सुखं भृशम्॥ १३१॥

The result arising in the cakra-daśā of the rāśi occupying the brother-bhāva: happiness from a brother, valour, and steadfastness too, and abundant happiness.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 131

Śloka 132 — 3rd-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); benefic/malefic rāśi

हेमालङ्कारसद्वासो राजसम्मानसम्भवम्। फलमेवं सौम्यराशौ पापराशौ तदन्यथा॥ १३२॥

Golden ornaments and fine clothing, and the arising of honour from the king. Such is the result in a benefic rāśi; in a malefic rāśi it is otherwise.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 132

Śloka 133 — Cakra-daśā of the 4th-bhāva rāśi

भावे चतुर्थे यो राशिस्तस्य चक्रदशा यदा। तदा नैरुज्यमर्थाप्तिर्बन्धुसौख्यं विशेषतः॥ १३३॥

When the cakra-daśā runs of that rāśi which is in the fourth bhāva, then there is freedom from disease, the obtaining of wealth, and especially happiness from relatives.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 133

Śloka 134 — 4th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); benefic/malefic rāśi

सद्वस्त्रयानजं सौख्यं राज्यभू-गेहजं तथा। सौम्यभे तु शुभं बोध्यं पापर्क्षे तद्विपर्ययम्॥ १३४॥

Happiness born of fine garments and vehicles, and likewise that born of kingdom, land, and house. In a benefic rāśi auspiciousness is to be understood; in a malefic rāśi, the reverse of it.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 134

Śloka 135 — Cakra-daśā of the 5th-bhāva rāśi

पुत्रभावे तु यो राशिस्तस्य चक्रदशा यदि। तर्हि जायाराज्यसुतमित्रदेहसुखं भवेत्॥ १३५॥

If the cakra-daśā is of that rāśi which is in the son-bhāva, then there is happiness of wife, of kingdom, of sons, of friends, and of the body.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 135

Śloka 136 — 5th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); benefic/malefic rāśi

सद्विद्या-कीर्तिधीधैर्यपराक्रमसमुन्नतिः। सौम्यभे तु शुभं सर्वं क्रूरभे तद्विपर्ययम्॥ १३६॥

Advancement in good learning, fame, intellect, fortitude, and prowess. In a benefic rāśi all is auspicious; in a cruel rāśi, the reverse of it.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 136

Śloka 137 — Cakra-daśā of the 6th-bhāva rāśi

रिपुभावे तु यो राशिस्तस्य चक्रदशा यदा। तर्हि राजाग्निगरलायुधस्तेनभवाऽतिभीः॥ १३७॥

When the cakra-daśā is of that rāśi which is in the enemy-bhāva, then there is extreme fear arising from the king, fire, poison, weapons, and thieves.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 137

Śloka 138 — 6th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); cruel/benefic rāśi

पाण्डुगुल्मप्रमेहादिरुजामपि समुद्भवः। क्रूरराशौ फलं चैवं सौम्यभे स्याच्छुभाशुभम्॥ १३८॥

Also the arising of illnesses such as pāṇḍu, gulma, and prameha. Such is the result in a cruel rāśi; in a benefic rāśi it will be part-auspicious and part-inauspicious.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 138

Śloka 139 — Cakra-daśā of the 7th-bhāva rāśi

द्यूनभावे तु यो राशिस्तस्य चक्रदशा यदि। उद्वाहस्तर्हि सौख्यं च स्त्रीसुताप्त्यादिजं भवेत्॥ १३९॥

If the cakra-daśā is of that rāśi which is in the seventh (dyūna) bhāva, then there is marriage, and happiness born of the gaining of wife and sons and the like.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 139

Śloka 140 — 7th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); full vs half result

अतुला कीर्तिरप्याप्तिर्गोसस्यार्थसुवाससाम्। फलं पूर्णं तु सौम्यर्क्षे क्रूरभे तु तदर्धकम्॥ १४०॥

Also unequalled fame, and the acquisition of cattle, crops, wealth, and fine garments. The result is full in a benefic rāśi, but in a cruel rāśi it is half of that.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 140

Śloka 141 — Cakra-daśā of the 8th-bhāva rāśi

मृतिभावे तु यो राशिस्तस्य चक्रदशा यदि। तर्हि बन्धुधनस्थाननाशजं दुःखमादिशेत्॥ १४१॥

If the cakra-daśā is of that rāśi which is in the death-bhāva, then one should declare sorrow born of the destruction of relatives, of wealth, and of position.

Śloka 142 — 8th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); cruel/benefic rāśi

शत्रुतोऽपि भयं चान्नारुचिं चैवातिनिःस्वताम्। क्रूरभे तु फलं सर्वं तदर्धं शुभभे स्मृतम्॥ १४२॥

Also fear from enemies, distaste for food, and extreme destitution. In a cruel rāśi the whole of this result [occurs]; in a benefic rāśi half of it is declared.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 142

Śloka 143 — Cakra-daśā of the 9th-bhāva rāśi

भाग्यभावे तु यो राशिस्तस्य चक्रदशा यदि। तर्हि जायासुतागारकृषिनित्यसुखं तथा॥ १४३॥

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 143

Śloka 144 — 9th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); full vs half result

सत्कर्मनिरतो धर्मबुद्धिः साधुसमागमः। ज्ञेयमेतत् फलं पूर्णं शुभर्क्षेऽर्धं तु पापभे॥ १४४॥

He is devoted to good works, of righteous mind, and there is meeting with holy people. This result is to be known as full in a benefic rāśi, but as half in a malefic rāśi.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 144

Śloka 145 — Cakra-daśā of the 10th-bhāva rāśi

Śloka 147 — Cakra-daśā of the 11th-bhāva rāśi

Śloka 148 — 11th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); full vs slight result

नैरुज्यं राजतो मानं सद्भिः सङ्गः सदा भवेत्। ज्ञेयमेतत् फलं पूर्णं शुभर्क्षेऽल्पं तु पापभे॥ १४८॥

There is freedom from disease, honour from the king, and constant association with the good. This result is to be known as full in a benefic rāśi, but slight in a malefic rāśi.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 148

Śloka 149 — Cakra-daśā of the 12th-bhāva rāśi

रिष्फभावे तु यो राशिस्तस्य चक्रदशा यदि। तर्हि व्यथा तनौ स्थानहानिर्निष्फलतोद्यमे॥ १४९॥

If the cakra-daśā is of that rāśi which is in the twelfth (riṣpha) bhāva, then there is pain in the body, loss of position, and fruitlessness in effort.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 149

Śloka 150 — 12th-bhāva rāśi daśā (continued); cruel/benefic rāśi

आलस्यं निःस्वता कार्य-नैष्फल्यं च मुधाव्ययः। ज्ञेयमेतत् फलं पूर्णं क्रूरर्क्षे सौम्यभेऽधिकम्॥ १५०॥

Indolence, destitution, failure of undertakings, and pointless expenditure. This result is to be known as full in a cruel rāśi, and as greater (adhika) in a benefic rāśi.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 150

Śloka 151 — Cara daśā — definition and measure of the daśā years

लग्नादिव्ययपर्यन्तं राशीनां तु चराभिधाम्। दशां, भावात्तु भावेशावधिसंख्यां बुधा जगुः॥ १५१॥

From the lagna up to the twelfth (vyaya) there is the daśā of the rāśis named cara; and the wise have declared its measure to be the count from the bhāva up to the lord of that bhāva.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 151

Śloka 152 — Cara daśā — direction of counting by odd/even pada

क्रमादोजे पदेऽनोजे कलना तु विपर्ययात्। दशाब्दसाधने ज्ञेया पदं मेषादिभिस्त्रिभिः॥ १५२॥

In an odd pada the reckoning is in the direct order, in a non-odd (even) pada it is by reversal — this is to be known in computing the daśā years; a pada consists of three rāśis beginning from Meṣa.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 152

Śloka 153 — The two lords of Vṛścika and of Kumbha

वृश्चिकाधिपती द्वौ च कुजकेतू मतौ मुने!। कुम्भस्य मन्दफणिनावधिपौ सम्मुदीरितौ॥ १५३॥

Vṛścika has two lords, Mars and Ketu, it is held, O Muni; and of Kumbha, Saturn and Rāhu (phaṇin, the hooded one) are declared to be the lords.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 153

Śloka 154 — Cara daśā years for the two dual-lorded rāśis — case 1

द्विस्वामिकभयोरत्र दशाज्ञानविधिं ब्रुवे। एकत्र संगतौ द्वावप्यधिपौ चेत् स्वभे स्थितौ॥ १५४॥

Here I state the method of knowing the daśā for those two rāśis that have two lords. If both lords are conjoined in one place and are situated in their own rāśi —

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 154

Śloka 155 — Cara daśā years for dual-lorded rāśis — twelve years; case 2

तदा द्वादशवर्षाणि चैकादिकमितोऽन्यथा। एकः स्वक्षेत्रगोऽन्यस्तु परत्र यदि संस्थितः॥ १५५॥

— then twelve years; otherwise the measure is reckoned as one and so on. But if one is in its own kṣetra and the other stands elsewhere —

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 155

Śloka 156 — Take the lord placed elsewhere; case 3 — both elsewhere

तदाऽन्यत्र स्थितं नाथं परिगृह्य दशां नयेत्। अन्यराशिगतौ तौ चेत्तयोर्यः स्याद् बलान्वितः॥ १५६॥

— then, taking the lord that stands elsewhere, one should derive the daśā. If the two have both gone into another rāśi, then whichever of them is endowed with strength —

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 156

Śloka 157 — Counting from the stronger lord; first rule of strength

क्रमतो व्युत्क्रमात्तस्मादेवानेया दशा बुधैः। निर्ग्रहात् सग्रहस्यैव बलित्वं बलनिर्णये॥ १५७॥

— from that one alone the daśā is to be derived by the wise, in the direct or the reverse order [as appropriate]. In deciding strength, the one having a graha [with it] is stronger than the one without a graha.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 157

Śloka 158 — Second and third rules of strength

ग्रहसत्त्वे तूभयत्र बली ज्ञेयो ग्रहाधिकः। साम्ये ग्रहयुते राशिबलतो बलनिर्णयः॥ १५८॥

But when grahas are present in both, the one with the greater number of grahas is to be known as the stronger. If the graha-conjunction is equal, the determination of strength is made from the strength of the rāśi.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 158

Śloka 159 — Rāśi strength order; tie-break by greater years

वेद्याश्चरस्थिरद्वन्द्वाः क्रमात्तु बलिनः सदा। बलसाम्ये तत्र राश्योर्बलवान् बहुवत्सरः॥ १५९॥

It is to be understood that cara, sthira, and dvisvabhāva [rāśis] are always the stronger in that ascending order. If in such a case the strength of the two rāśis is equal, the stronger is the one that yields the greater number of years.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 159

Śloka 160 — One lord exalted — take that rāśi

एकः स्वोच्चगतश्चान्यः परत्र यदि संस्थितः। आदद्यादुच्चखेटस्थं राशिमन्यं विहाय वै॥ १६०॥

And if one has gone to its own ucca while the other stands elsewhere, one should take the rāśi occupied by the exalted graha, setting the other aside.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 160

Śloka 161 — Add one year for an exalted graha, drop one for a debilitated

उच्चखेटस्य सद्भावे वर्षमेकं च निक्षिपेत्। तत्रैव नीचखेटस्य वर्षमेकं परित्यजेत्॥ १६१॥

In the presence of a graha in its ucca one should insert one year; and in that same place, for a graha in its nīca, one should drop one year.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 161

Śloka 162 (first half only — plate ends here) — Concluding injunction to weigh all the foregoing

एवं सर्वं समालोच्य दशायां तु फलं वदेत्।

Having thus considered everything, one should declare the result within the daśā.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 162 (first half only — plate ends here)

Śloka 162 — Cara daśā — definition and direction of reckoning

ओजेऽनोजे पदे लग्नाद् भाग्यराशौ क्रमोत्क्रमात् । दशा चराभिधा ज्ञेया विज्ञैस्तनुभृतः सदा ॥ १६२ ॥

According as the ninth rāśi (bhāgya) from the lagna stands in an odd pada or a not-odd pada, [the reckoning proceeds] in direct or in reverse order. That daśā — [taken] for the embodied being — is always to be known by the discerning as the one named cara.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 162

Śloka 163 — Sthira daśā — year values 7/8/9 for cara, sthira, dvisvabhāva rāśis

अधुना सम्प्रवक्ष्यामि स्थिराख्यां तु दशां मुने । चरादिषु क्रमादब्दा नगनागनवोन्मिताः ॥ १६३ ॥

Now, O Muni, I shall fully declare the daśā named sthira. In the cara and the rest, the years are, in order, reckoned as seven, eight and nine.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 163

Śloka 164 — Why it is called sthira; it starts from the Brahmā-graha's rāśi; direction of motion

दशावर्षस्थिरतया दशेयं तु स्थिराभिधा । ब्रह्मग्रहगताद् राशेर्दशैषा तु द्विजोत्तम ॥ १६४ ॥ ओजे क्रमादनोजे तूत्क्रमतोऽग्रे प्रवर्त्तते ।

Because of the fixity of its daśā-years, this daśā bears the name sthira. And this daśā runs from the rāśi occupied by the Brahmā graha, O best of the twice-born. In an odd [rāśi] it proceeds onward in direct order, but in a not-odd one in reverse order.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 164

Śloka 165 — Maitreya's question — what defines the Brahmā graha?

ब्रह्मग्रहोऽधुना यो मे भगवन् भवतोदितः । तल्लक्षणं तु कृपया विशदीकर्तुमर्हसि ॥ १६५ ॥

Maitreya said: O Bhagavan, the Brahmā graha which has just now been mentioned to me by you — its defining marks you are pleased, of your grace, to make clear.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 165

Śloka 166 — Brahmā graha — first definition: strong lord of 6/8/12 in an odd rāśi, or one behind the stronger of lagna/7th

रिपुरन्ध्रव्ययेशेषु यः स्यादोजभगो बली । लग्नसप्तमगो यश्च बली तत्पृष्ठतः स्थितः ॥ १६६ ॥

Parāśara said: Among the lords of the sixth, the eighth and the twelfth, whichever is strong and stands in an odd rāśi [is Brahmā]; and so too whichever strong one, [reckoned] from the lagna or the seventh, stands behind that.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 166

Śloka 167 — Brahmā graha — 8th lord from ātmakāraka; and the exclusion of Śani, Rāhu and Ketu

ब्रह्मा वा कारकाद् रन्ध्राधिपो रन्ध्रगतोऽपि वा । ब्रह्मत्वे तमसो वार्केर्ब्रह्मा पृष्ठस्ततो ग्रहः ॥ १६७ ॥

Or the lord of the eighth from the kāraka is Brahmā, or even a graha placed in that eighth. If Brahmā-hood should fall upon Tamas [Rāhu/Ketu] or upon the son of Arka [Śani], then the graha standing behind that one is Brahmā.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 167

Śloka 168 — Tie-break among multiple Brahmā candidates — greater degrees, then greater strength

बहूनां ब्रह्मसत्त्वे तु वेद्यो भागाधिको ग्रहः । भागसाम्येऽधिकबलो भवेद् ब्रह्मग्रहो मुने ! ॥ १६८ ॥

But when Brahmā-hood belongs to many, the graha having the greater degrees is to be known [as Brahmā]. And when the degrees are equal, the one of greater strength becomes the Brahmā graha, O Muni!

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 168

Śloka 169 — Yogārdha daśā — years are half the sum of the cara and sthira daśās

योगार्धतुल्यमुभयोर्योगार्धे स्याद् दशामितिः । तन्वस्तयोर्बलवतोर्दंशैषाऽऽरभ्यते बुधैः ॥ १६९ ॥

In the Yogārdha, the measure of the daśā is equal to half the sum of the two [the cara and the sthira]. This one is begun by the wise from whichever of the lagna and the seventh is the stronger.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 169

Śloka 170 — Kendrādi daśā — start from the stronger of lagna/7th, then kendras in order of strength; also from the ātmakāraka

लग्नास्तयोर्बलवतो राशेः केन्द्रादिगामिनाम् । बलानुसारतो भानां राशीनामात्मकारकात् ॥ १७० ॥

From whichever of the lagna and the seventh is the stronger rāśi, [the daśās] of the signs proceeding by kendra and the rest [follow], according to their strength — of the rāśis [reckoned] also from the ātmakāraka —

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 170

Śloka 171 — Kendrādi daśā — years reckoned as in cara daśā, counting to the graha's own sign

दशाक्रमो ग्रहाणां वै मुनिभिः समुदीरितः । दशावर्षाणि चरवत् स्वभं यावन्नभःसदाम् ॥ १७१ ॥

— such is the order of the daśās of the grahas, indeed, as proclaimed by the Munis. The daśā-years are as in the cara [daśā], counting up to the own-sign of the sky-dwellers [the grahas].

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 171

Śloka 172 — Year-count for grahas lording two rāśis — take the larger of the two counts

द्विराशीशग्रहस्यैवं गणनीया द्वयावधि । द्वयोः संख्याऽधिकतरा दशाब्दाः कारकस्य वै ॥ १७२ ॥

For a graha that lords two rāśis, the counting is thus to be made up to both; of the two, the greater number gives the daśā-years — this holds for the kāraka as well.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 172

Śloka 173 — Kāraka daśā — order from the ātmakāraka, years = distance lagna → kāraka

विज्ञेया कारकदशा क्रमतस्त्वात्मकारकात् । लग्नात् कारकपर्यन्तं संख्या या तत्समा दशा ॥ १७३ ॥

The Kāraka daśā is to be known [as running] in order beginning from the ātmakāraka. Whatever number results from the lagna up to the kāraka, the daśā equals that.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 173

Śloka 174 — Maṇḍūka daśā (= the old Trikūṭa) — start from the stronger of lagna/7th

मण्डूकाख्यदशैव प्राक् त्रिकूटाभिधया स्मृता । तन्वस्तयोर्बलवतो राशेरोजे क्रमात् तथा ॥ १७४ ॥

And this very daśā called Maṇḍūka was formerly remembered under the name Trikūṭa. From whichever of the lagna and the seventh is the stronger rāśi — if it be odd, then in direct order —

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 174

Śloka 175 — Maṇḍūka daśā — reverse order in even signs; years as in sthira daśā

विपर्ययादनोजे तु दशा ज्ञेया बुधैः सदा । मण्डूकाख्यदशावर्षमानं स्थिरदशासमम् ॥ १७५ ॥

— but in a not-odd [rāśi] the daśā is always to be known by the wise by the reverse. The measure of years of the daśā called Maṇḍūka is the same as that of the sthira daśā.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 175

Śloka 176 — Śūla daśā — declared for knowing death; starts from the stronger of the 8th from lagna and the 8th from the 7th

केचिच्छूलदशामाहुर्निधनज्ञानहेतवे । तन्वस्तयोरष्टमौ यौ तयो राशिस्तु यो बली ॥ १७६ ॥

Some declare the Śūla daśā for the sake of knowing death. Of the two eighth houses — from the lagna and from the seventh — whichever of those rāśis is the stronger [is the starting point].

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 176

Śloka 177 — Śūla daśā — direction of reckoning; years as in sthira; death in a strong māraka's daśā

ओजे क्रमात्तदारभ्य समे स्याद् विपरीततः । [द]शासमाः स्थिर इव मृत्युर्बलिनि मारके ॥ १७७ ॥

Beginning from that, [the reckoning is] in direct order if it is odd, and in an even one it would be by the reverse. The daśās are equal [in years] as in the sthira; death [is indicated] when the māraka is strong.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 177

Śloka 178 — Trikoṇa daśā — begins from the strongest of the lagna-trikoṇa rāśis, reckoned like cara

जनुस्तनूकोणगेषु भेषु प्रबलराशितः । समारभ्यैव चरवद् दशा ज्ञेया त्रिकोणजा ॥ १७८ ॥

Among the rāśis occupying the koṇas of the birth-lagna, beginning precisely from the strongest rāśi, the daśā — reckoned as in the cara — is to be known as the one born of the trikoṇa.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 178

Śloka 179 — Trikoṇa daśā — direction of reckoning; years counted up to the lord

ओजे क्रमादनोजे तु वैपरीत्येन निर्दिशेत् । दशाब्दा अत्र विबुधैर्नाथान्ताः परिकीर्तिताः ॥ १७९ ॥

In an odd [rāśi] one should set them out in direct order, but in a not-odd one by the reverse. Here the daśā-years are proclaimed by the learned as [counted] up to the lord.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 179

Śloka 180 — Dṛg daśā — sequence: 9th, then signs aspected by it; then 10th, then signs aspected by it

तनोर्भाग्यस्य, तदनु तदीक्षितगृहोद्भवा । आस्पदस्य च ततः तद्दृष्टभवनोद्भवा ॥ १८० ॥

[The daśā] of the ninth from the lagna [comes first]; after that, those arising from the houses aspected by it; and then that of the tenth (āspada), and thereafter those arising from the houses aspected by that.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 180

Śloka 181 — Dṛg daśā — the 11th and its aspected signs; years as in sthira; the name explained

ततो लाभस्य च पुनस्तद्दृष्टक्षेत्रजा समाः । स्थिरवद् दृष्टिवशतो जातेयमिति दृग्दशा ॥ १८१ ॥

Then that of the eleventh (lābha), and again those born of the kṣetras aspected by it. The years are as in the sthira. Since this one has arisen by force of dṛṣṭi, it is the Dṛg daśā.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 181

Śloka 182 — Dṛg daśā — direction in which the aspected signs are picked up, by modality and parity

व्युत्क्रमात् क्रमतश्चापि चरस्थिरभयोस्तु दृक् । ओजे द्विभे क्रमादेवं समे तूत्क्रमतो हि सा ॥ १८२ ॥

For cara and for sthira signs the aspect [-reckoning] is by reverse order and by direct order respectively. In a dual sign (dvibha), thus: in direct order if it be odd, but in reverse order if even.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 182

Śloka 183 — Rāśi daśā (tanvādi) — definition and the bhayāta/bhabhoga computation

तन्वादि-भानां प्रतिभं दशा राशिदशा मता । भयातं भानुगुणितं भभोगेन विभाजितम् ॥ १८३ ॥

The daśā of the signs beginning with the lagna, sign by sign, is held to be the Rāśi daśā. The bhayāta, multiplied by twelve and divided by the bhabhoga —

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 183

Śloka 184 — Rāśi daśā — add to lagna, divide by twelve, start there in odd/even order

भाद्यं फलं तनौ योज्यं तष्टितं रविभिस्तदा । ज्ञेया दशा बुधै राशेरोजोऽनोजे क्रमोत्क्रमात् ॥ १८४ ॥ दशा वर्षाणि स्थिरवद् बोध्यान्यत्रापि विद्वरैः ।

— the resulting quotient, in rāśis and so on, is to be joined to the lagna; then it is to be divided by twelve. From that rāśi the daśā is to be known by the wise, in direct or in reverse order according as it is odd or not-odd. Here too the daśā years are to be understood by the learned as in the sthira.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 184

Śloka 185 — Elapsed and remaining years of the running daśā (bhukta / bhogya)

यातांशगुणितं त्रिंशदुद्धृतं तु दशाब्दकम् । यानमब्दादिकं वेद्यम् भोग्यं माने विशोधनात् ॥ १८५ ॥

The daśā-years multiplied by the elapsed degrees and divided by thirty — that is to be known as the elapsed [portion] in years and so on; the portion still to be enjoyed [is known] by subtracting it from the total measure.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 185

Śloka 186 — Pañcasvara daśā — lay out the five vowels and the consonants ka to ha below them

प्राङ्न्यसेत्तु क्रमेणैवाकारादिस्वरपञ्चकम् । कादिहान्ताँल्लिखेद् वर्णान् स्वराधोऽङञणोज्झितान् ॥ १८६ ॥

First one should set down, precisely in order, the group of five vowels beginning with 'a'; below the vowels one should write the letters from 'ka' to 'ha', omitting ṅa, ña and ṇa.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 186

Śloka 187 — Pañcasvara daśā — the grid is filled five by five in horizontal rows; why ṅa/ña/ṇa are dropped

तिर्यक् पंक्तिक्रमेणैव पञ्च पञ्च विभागतः । न प्रोक्ता ङञणा वर्णा नामादौ सन्ति ते नहि ॥ १८७ ॥

[They are written] in horizontal rows precisely in order, five and five by division. The letters ṅa, ña and ṇa have not been stated, for they do not occur at the beginning of a name.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 187

Śloka 188 — Pañcasvara daśā — substitutes for ṅa/ña/ṇa; the starting vowel is that of the name's first letter

चेद् भवन्ति तदा ज्ञेया गजडास्ते यथाक्रमम् । स्वरे यस्मिन्नात्मनामादिमवर्णस्तदादितः ॥ १८८ ॥

If they do occur, then they are to be taken as ga, ja and ḍa respectively. In whichever vowel [row] the first letter of one's own name falls, from that one the reckoning begins.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 188

Śloka 189 — Pañcasvara daśā — five daśā lords of twelve years each; antardaśās within

दशेशास्तु क्रमात् पञ्च द्वादशाब्दाः समे मताः । अन्तर्दशादयो ज्ञेयाः स्वराणां तद्दशासु च ॥ १८९ ॥

The daśā-lords are the five [vowels] in order, each held equally to be of twelve years. And the antardaśās and the rest, of the vowels, are to be known within those daśās.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 189

Śloka 190 — Varṇadā-daśā — announcement

अथ वच्मि दशां विप्र ! तवाग्रे वर्णदाभिधाम् । यज्ज्ञानतः क्षमा वक्तुमायुर्दायफलं जनाः ॥ १९० ॥

Now, O Vipra, I declare before you the daśā named Varṇadā, by the knowledge of which people become able to pronounce upon the fruit of the āyurdāya (the allotment of lifespan).

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 190

Śloka 191 — Varṇadā — counting from Meṣa or Mīna according to odd/even lagna

ओजानोजलग्नजानां मेषमीनादितो बुधः । विगणय्य जनुर्लग्नं होरालग्नान्तमेव च ॥ १९१ ॥

For those born in an odd or in a non-odd (even) lagna, the wise one (should reckon) from Meṣa and from Mīna respectively, having counted out the janma-lagna and likewise up to the horā-lagna.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 191

Śloka 192 — Varṇadā — the two numbers; sājātya vs vaijātya

सव्यापसव्यक्रमतश्चैवं संख्याद्वयं भवेत् । तत्रौजयुग्मतः साजात्यंविजातीयता तथा ॥ १९२ ॥

Thus, by the direct and the reverse order, two numbers arise. Therein, according as (both are) odd or (both) even, there is homogeneity (sājātya); otherwise heterogeneity (vijātīyatā).

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 192

Śloka 193 — Varṇadā — sum or difference, then re-count

साजात्ये तु तयोर्योगो वैजात्येऽन्तरमिष्यते । मेषक्रमात् तद्वैषम्ये साम्ये मीनादिकोत्क्रमात् ॥ १९३ ॥

When they are homogeneous, their sum is taken; when heterogeneous, their difference is desired. If that (result) is odd, (count) in the order from Meṣa; if it is even, in the reverse order from Mīna onward.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 193

Śloka 194 — Varṇadā rāśi defined; daśā starts from the stronger of horā-lagna and lagna

गणयेदेवमायातो राशिः स्याद् वर्णदाभिधः । होरालग्नलग्नयोर्यत् प्रबलं तु ततो दशा ॥ १९४ ॥

Counting in this way, the rāśi arrived at is the one called Varṇadā. Of the horā-lagna and the (janma-)lagna, whichever is the stronger — from that the daśā (is begun).

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 194

Śloka 195 — Varṇadā — direction of the daśā sequence and the length of each daśā

क्रमव्युत्क्रमभेदेन विषमानोजयोर्भवेत् । वर्णदो लग्नतो यावन्मितभे तन्मिताः समाः ॥ १९५ ॥ एवं द्वादशभावानां दशाब्देभ्यो दशा भवेत् ॥

It proceeds by the distinction of direct and reverse order according as (that rāśi) is odd or not-odd. However many rāśis distant the Varṇadā stands from the lagna, of just that many years (is its daśā). — Thus, from the daśā-years of the twelve bhāvas, the daśā (sequence) is to be formed.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 195

Śloka 196 — Yoginī-daśā — the eight yoginīs named (first five)

अथोच्यतेऽधुना शम्भुभाषिता योगिनीदशा । मङ्गला पिङ्गला धान्या भ्रामरी भद्रिका तथा ॥ १९६ ॥

Now is set forth the Yoginī-daśā as spoken by Śambhu (Śiva): Maṅgalā, Piṅgalā, Dhānyā, Bhrāmarī, and Bhadrikā;

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 196

Śloka 197 — Yoginī-daśā — remaining three yoginīs; Moon and Sun assigned

उल्का सिद्धा संकटा चेत्यष्टधा योगिनीदशा । मंगलातोऽजनि शशी पिंगलातस्तु भास्करः ॥ १९७ ॥

Ulkā, Siddhā and Saṅkaṭā — thus the Yoginī-daśā is eightfold. From Maṅgalā was born the Moon; from Piṅgalā, the Sun.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 197

Śloka 198 — Yoginī-daśā — Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Saturn assigned

धान्यातो देवपूज्यो वै भ्रामरीतो महीसुतः । भद्रिकातः शशिसुतश्चोल्कातो रविनन्दनः ॥ १९८ ॥

From Dhānyā, indeed, the preceptor of the gods (Jupiter); from Bhrāmarī, the son of Earth (Mars); from Bhadrikā, the son of the Moon (Mercury); and from Ulkā, the son of the Sun (Saturn).

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 198

Śloka 199 — Yoginī-daśā — Venus and Rāhu; the computation from the birth nakṣatra

सिद्धातो भृगुसुतः संकटातस्तमोग्रहः । जनुर्भं वह्निसंयुक्तं वसुभिश्शोद्धृतं ततः ॥ १९९ ॥

From Siddhā, the son of Bhṛgu (Venus); from Saṅkaṭā, the graha of darkness (Rāhu). Then the birth nakṣatra, joined with fire (i.e. increased by three), is divided by the Vasus (eight).

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 199

Śloka 200 — Yoginī-daśā — the remainder selects the yoginī; daśā-years 1..8

योगिन्यो मङ्गलाद्यास्तु शेषादेकादितो मताः । दशाब्दाः क्रमशस्त्वेषामेकादेकाधिकाः स्मृताः ॥ २०० ॥ भुक्तभोग्यादिकं साध्यं तद्भयातभभोगतः ।

The yoginīs beginning with Maṅgalā are reckoned from the remainder, counting from one onward. Their daśā-years are remembered as running, in order, from one, each greater by one. — The elapsed and the yet-to-be-enjoyed portions and the rest are to be worked out from the bhayāta and bhabhoga of that (nakṣatra).

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 200

Śloka 201 — Piṇḍa-, Aṃśa- and Naisargika-daśā — daśā years equal the computed āyus

यत्पिण्डांशनिसर्गायुर्ग्रहाणां साधितं भवेत् । तच्च दशानां वर्षाणि तेषां स्युस्तन्मितानि वै ॥ २०१ ॥

Whatever piṇḍa-, aṃśa- and naisargika-āyus of the grahas has been computed, that is (also) the years of their daśās; they are indeed of just that measure.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 201

Śloka 202 — Piṇḍa/Aṃśa/Naisargika-daśā — order of the daśās

लग्नसूर्यविधूनां तु प्रबलस्य दशादिमा । ततः केन्द्रादिसंस्थानां बलिनां च दशा भवेत् ॥ २०२ ॥

Of the lagna, the Sun and the Moon, the daśā of the strongest is the first. Thereafter come the daśās of the strong (grahas) occupying the kendras and the rest.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 202

Śloka 203 — Aṣṭavarga-daśā

बलेनाष्टकवर्गाणां दशानां फलमादिशेत् । दशा एतास्तु त्रिबुधैरष्टवर्गदशा स्मृता ॥ २०३ ॥

One should pronounce the results of the daśās by the strength of the aṣṭakavargas. These daśās are remembered by the wise as the Aṣṭavarga-daśā.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 203

Śloka 204 — Sandhyā-daśā — one twelfth of the full lifespan per rāśi

परायुषो द्वादशांशस्तत्सन्ध्या सन्धिरीरिता । दशानां तन्मिताब्दाः स्युर्लग्नराशिक्रमान्मता ॥ २०४ ॥

The twelfth part of the full lifespan is declared to be its sandhyā, the juncture. The years of the daśās are of that measure, reckoned in the order of the rāśis beginning from the lagna.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 204

Śloka 205 — Pācaka-daśā within the Sandhyā-daśā — the computation

सन्ध्या रसगुणा कार्या चन्द्रवह्निहृता फलम् । संस्थाप्यं प्रथमे कोष्ठे त्रिकोष्ठेषु तदर्धकम् ॥ २०५ ॥

The sandhyā is to be multiplied by six and divided by thirty-one; the result is to be placed in the first cell, and half of it in three cells.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 205

Śloka 206 — Pācaka-daśā — the remaining eight cells; twelve divisions

त्रिभागं वसुकोष्ठेषु लिखित्वा तत्फलं दिशेत् । एवं द्वादशभागेषु पाचकानि प्रकल्पयेत् ॥ २०६ ॥

Having written a third part in the eight cells, one should pronounce the result thereof. In this way one should construct the pācakas in the twelve divisions.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 206

Śloka 207 — Tārā-daśā — reckoned like Viṃśottarī from the strong kendra graha

तारादशा बुधैः कैश्चिदुक्ता विंशोत्तरीव या । केन्द्रस्थाद् बलिनः खेटाज्ज्ञेया नामसदृक्फला ॥ २०९ ॥

The Tārā-daśā, which some learned men have declared to be like the Viṃśottarī, is to be reckoned from the strong graha standing in a kendra; its results correspond to its (each tārā's) name.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 207

Śloka 208 — Tārā-daśā — the nine tārās named

जन्म-सम्पद्-विपत्-क्षेम-प्रत्यरिः साधको वधः । मैत्रमेवं चातिमैत्रं नव ताराः प्रकीर्तिताः ॥ २०८ ॥

Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kṣema, Pratyari, Sādhaka, Vadha, Maitra, and likewise Atimaitra — nine tārās are proclaimed.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 208

Śloka 209 — Closing transition — bhukti divisions to follow

दशानां विविधा भेदा विस्तराद् गदिता मुने ! । आसां भुक्तिप्रभेदांश्च सम्प्रवक्ष्याम्यतः परम् ॥ २०९ ॥

O Muni, the various divisions of the daśās have been told at length. And hereafter I shall fully declare the sub-divisions, the bhuktis, of these.

BPHS Adhyāya 47, śloka 209
