BPHS Adhyāya 48, śloka colophon (unnumbered)

Śloka 1 — Maitreya's question — request for daśā results

नानाविधा दशाभेदा भगवन् ! भवतोदिताः । आकर्णिता मया कीदृक् तत्फलं चाथ कथ्यताम् ॥ १ ॥

Maitreya said: O Bhagavan, the manifold varieties of daśā have been declared by you, and I have listened to them. Now, of what kind is their result? Please tell it.

BPHS Adhyāya 48, śloka 1

Śloka 2 — Two kinds of daśā-result: general and particular

साधारणविशेषाभ्यां द्विधा प्रोक्तं दशाफलम् । स्वभावस्थानवशतः खगानां मुनिसम्मतम् ॥ २ ॥

Parāśara said: The result of a daśā is declared to be twofold — general and particular — arising from the intrinsic nature and the placement of the grahas; thus it is agreed by the sages.

BPHS Adhyāya 48, śloka 2

Śloka 3 — Strength governs the result; dreṣkāṇa fixes the timing

बलानुसारिखेटानां बुधैर्वेद्यं दशाफलम् । आदिद्रेष्काणगे खेटे दशारम्भे फलं वदेत् ॥ ३ ॥

The wise should know that the daśā-result of the grahas follows their strength. When the graha occupies the first dreṣkāṇa, one should declare the result at the commencement of the daśā.

BPHS Adhyāya 48, śloka 3

Śloka 4 — Middle and last dreṣkāṇa; reversal for retrograde

दशामध्ये फलं वाच्यं मध्यद्रेष्काणगे सति । अन्ते फलं तृतीयस्थे व्यस्तं खेटे च वक्रिणि ॥ ४ ॥

When it stands in the middle dreṣkāṇa, the result is to be stated for the middle of the daśā; when in the third, at the end. And for a retrograde graha this is reversed.

BPHS Adhyāya 48, śloka 4

Śloka 5 — General rule — auspicious daśā-lord conditions

दशेशे तु दशारम्भे तनौ सौम्ययुतेक्षिते । स्वर्क्षतुङ्गसुहृद्भे वा शोभनं तद्दशाफलम् ॥ ५ ॥

But if at the commencement of the daśā the lord of the daśā is in the lagna, conjoined with or aspected by benefics, or is in its own rāśi, in ucca, or in a friend's rāśi, the result of that daśā is auspicious.

BPHS Adhyāya 48, śloka 5

Śloka 6 — General rule — inauspicious daśā-lord conditions

तत्र त्रिकस्थिते सत्यस्तमिते नीचशत्रुभे । दशाफलमसत्प्रोक्तमथ वच्मि दशाफलम् ॥ ६ ॥

But when it stands in a trika, or is combust, or is in a nīca or an enemy's rāśi, the daśā-result is declared to be bad. Now I shall state the results of the daśās.

धनेशस्य च सम्बन्धे गजान्तैश्वर्यमादिशेत् । वाहनाधिपसम्बन्धे वाहनत्रयमादिशेत् ॥ १० ॥

And if there be relation with the lord of wealth, one should declare affluence extending as far as elephants; if there be relation with the lord of the conveyance-house, one should declare three conveyances.
