According to my understanding of Jaimini, the TrikonaDasa,
DrigDasa, the PadakramaDasas and CharaDasa all belong to
what I call the CharaDasagroup, since they are all
calculated following more or less the same method regarding
the span of years and the subperiods of each Rashi following
to the normal rules of CharaDasa. It is only the order of
the dasas that is different in case of each of these dasa
systems.
(Always observe if the first dasaperiod in these different
Dasasystems is direct or reverse according to the usual
CharaDasa rules)
This is how I understand the dasas of the CharaDasagroup:
1) Trikonadasa starts from the strongest out of the
"trikonas" (1st, 5th or 9th) the order of the dasa being 1st,
5th, 9th 2nd, 6th, 10th 3rd, 7th, 11th etc. etc.
2) DrigDasa starts from the 9th house and is following the
same pattern as Trikonadasa by running 9th, 1st, 5th 10th,
2nd, 6th 11th, 3rd and 7th etc. etc.
3) The PadakramaDasas runs like normal Charadasa in case of
Cardinal signs, in Fixed signs it starts from the 6th sign
from Ascendant and jumps from the 6th to the 6th from the 6th
etc., following this patters: 6th, 11th, 4th, 9th, 2nd, 7th
etc. etc. In the COMMON sign it follow the same pattern as
Trikona Dasa, only that it always starts from the Ascendant.
4) CharaDasa runs forewards or backwards from the Ascendant
depending upon the 9th house is in odd or even quadrants. The
number of years of each sign is calculated from the position
of its lord.
The BrahmaDasagroup.
Then there is a different group of Jaiminidasas, which I
like to call the BrahmaDasagroup.
The SthiraDasa, Navamsadasa, BrahmaDasa and YogardhaDasa
all belong to this group, since they can be relatively easily
calculated once the Brahmaplanet has been correctly
identified in the horoscope.
(All these Dasas are running direct in case of odd signs and
backwards in case of even signs)
1) SthiraDasa starts from the RASHI occupied by Brahma and
runs for 7, 8 or 9 years for each sign in case of Cardinal,
fixed and Common signs.
2) NavamsaDasa starts from the NAVAMSA occupied by Brahma
and each sign runs for only one year.
3) BrahmaDasa starts from the Rasi occupied by Brahma if the
Ascendant is in an odd sign, in even signs it starts from the
7th from Brahma. The number of years is calculated in the
same way as with Chara Dasa, except that for BrahmaDasa we
have to calculate the years from the 6th house from the Rashi
under consideration, and not from the Rashi itself.
4) YogardhaDasa starts from the Ascendant or the 7th house
whichever is stronger. The period of each Dasa will be half
the sum of its CharaDasa and SthiraDasa periods.
The ShoolaDasagroup
NiryanaShoolaDasa, NiryanaPhalaShoolaDasa, Mandooka
ShoolaDasa and ShoolaDasa are the dasas belonging to what I
call the ShoolaDasagroup. Each dasa in these four Dasa
systems gets 9 years. There are however certain differences
between these four dasasystems, which I like to explain.
(In case of all the four types of dasas the counting is
direct in case of odd sign and backwards in case of even
signs)
1) NiryanaShoolaDasa is usually counted from the Ascendant
in case of odd and from the 7th house in case of even signs.
Each dasa runs for 9 years. This dasa can in my opinion be
used profitably for all sorts of predictions. It is very
useful since it can be calculated very fast and easy
mentally.
2) NiryanaPhalaShoolaDasa is designed for one purpose
only, which is predicting death. It runs from the maraka
places (Rudraplanets) for the person or relative in question
to the places significating the person or the relative and
each sign gets 9 years. This really works, but this kind of
predictions should in my opinion not be given.
3) Shoola Dasa runs from the different houses and from the
CharaKarakas and SthiraKarakas. Each sign gets a period of
9 years. Some kind of general predictions (both positive and
negative) can be given regarding the relatives and subjects
signified by the different houses and Karakas depending on
the presence of malefics and benefics in in the different
signs in their respective dasaperiods.
4) MandookaShoolaDasa runs from the Ascendant in case of
odd signs and from the 7th house in case of even signs.
Mandooka means frog, and it jumps from kendra to kendra in
the pattern of: 1st4th7th10th, 2nd5th8th11th, 3rd6th
9th12th.
Mr. K. N. Rao has given another method of calculating
MandookaDasa, which is more like the CharaDasamethod. The
ShoolaDasamethod of calculating MandookaDasa is from the
book “Jaimini Sutras” by the late B. Suryanarain Rao.
Obviously, the calculating of some of the JaiminiDasas can
be done in more than one way.
DasaApplicability
When I was reading the book on MandookaDasa by Mr. K. N.
Rao, I became aware that he is having a very strong case by
saying that certain conditions or planetary patterns have got
to be fulfilled with many of the Jaiminidasas.
In Mandookadasa the dasaperiods are jumping like a frog
from kendra to kendra. Therefore MandookaDasa is very much
based on KENDRAS, and there happens to be FOUR corners in the
kendras. Perhaps this is why the condition that FOUR planets
(not Rahu & Ketu) must occupy kendras in order to justify the
use of this dasa.
This made me think very carefully about the applicability of
some of the other dasas. Could it be that the conditions
under which we should use the different dasasystems are
hidden within the definition of the dasasystems themselves
in the Jaimini Sutras?
I have got some ideas that I have verified on few horoscopes
only, so obviously this is subject to further research before
any conclusion can be made. Anyway, here are some of my
ideas:
a) TrikonaDasa jumps from trine to trine, and this has made
me think that perhaps there should be THREE planets in
TRIKONAS (159) from Lagna to justify the use of this Dasa.
(This is the case in my own chart, where TrikonaDasa seems
to apply very well.)
b) The DrigDasa follows the same pattern as Trikonadasa
except that it starts from the 9th house. Could DrigDasa
perhaps be related to DRIGBALA? Drigbala is a special kind
of strength in Jamini where a rashi becomes strong by being
aspected by its own lord, Mercury or Jupiter. Could the
condition of DrigDasa be that the 9th house should be
subject to powerful DrigBala?
c) BrahmaDasa has made me wonder if the condition in this
case could be that the Brahmaplanet should be in the 1st or
7th house?
I am not sure about these ideas, but I will certainly keep an
open eye when experimenting on these dasas. It must be
subject to further research.
A note on YogardhaDasa
Somebody may be wondering why I have placed YogardhaDasa in
the BrahmaDasagroup, since this dasasystem does not seem
to be dependent upon the Brahmaplanet at all, but rather
upon CharaDasa. This looks like a logical error of mine, and
therefore it certainly needs further explanation.
As the very name YogardhaDasa is suggesting, this dasa
system is based on the "combination" (yoga) of CharaDasa and
Sthira Dasa. Please see the earlier definition: YogardhaDasa
starts from the Ascendant or the 7th house whichever is
stronger. The period of each Dasa will be half the sum of its
CharaDasa and SthiraDasa periods.
It was while contemplating on this definition I thought that
perhaps the conditions under which we should use this dasa
system are hidden within the definition of the calculation
itself, like we have seen before with other dasas.
Could be conditions of YogardhaDasa be somehow connected to
the combination (yoga) made by combining the startingpoints
of both CharaDasa and SthiraDasa? Well, according to the
definition of the PadakramaDasas, there is a certain
affinity between the Chararashis (cardinal signs) and Chara
Dasa. This also seems to be indicated by the very name Chara
Dasa. In the same way the very name Sthiradasa also seem to
have some kind of connection to the Sthirarashis (fixed
signs).
Could it be that YogardhaDasa should only be applied when
the Ascendant is in a CHARARASHI (Cardinal sign) and at the
same time Brahma is in a STHIRARASHI (Fixed sign)?
