कालचक्रं प्रवक्ष्यामि दशानां फलदायकम्। राशिचक्रे क्रमाद्योगात् कालं वेत्ति सुबुद्धिमान्॥
kālacakraṃ pravakṣyāmi daśānāṃ phaladāyakam | rāśicakre kramādyogāt kālaṃ vetti subuddhimān ||
I shall expound the Kalachakra dasha, the giver of results; the wise one knows the timing through the sequential combination within the zodiacal wheel.
जगद्धिताय प्रोक्तानि पुरा यानि पुरारिणा । तानि चक्रान्तर्दशाफलानि कथयाम्यहम् ॥ १॥
jagaddhitāya proktāni purā yāni purāriṇā | tāni cakrāntardaśāphalāni kathayāmyaham || 1||
For the welfare of the world, those results that were formerly spoken by the enemy of the demons (Shiva), I shall now narrate as the fruits of the chakra antardashas.
मेषांशे स्वान्तरे भौमे ज्वरश्च व्रणसम्भवः । बुधशुक्रेन्दुजीवेषु सुखं शत्रुभयं रवौ ॥ २॥
meṣāṃśe svāntare bhaume jvaraśca vraṇasambhavaḥ | budhaśukrendujīveṣu sukhaṃ śatrubhayaṃ ravau || 2||
In the Aries division, in the antardasha of Mars itself, fever and the outbreak of wounds occur; with Mercury, Venus, the Moon or Jupiter there is happiness, while with the Sun there is fear from enemies.
वृषांशे स्वान्तरे सौरे कलहो रोगसम्भवः । विद्यालाभस्तनौ सौख्यं गुरौ तत्र गते फलम् ॥ ३॥
vṛṣāṃśe svāntare saure kalaho rogasambhavaḥ | vidyālābastanau saukhyaṃ gurau tatra gate phalam || 3||
In the Taurus division, when the Sun's own antardasha operates, there is quarrel and the onset of disease; when the Moon is placed therein, there is gain of learning and bodily comfort; a similar fruit follows when Jupiter arrives in that position.
देशत्यागो मृतिर्वापि शस्त्रघातो ज्वरोऽथवा । वृषभस्वांशके विप्र कुजे तत्र गते फलम् ॥ ४॥
deśatyāgo mṛtirvāpi śastraghāto jvaro'thavā | vṛṣabhasvāṃśake vipra kuje tatra gate phalam || 4||
O Brahmin, when Mars arrives at the Taurus division itself, the fruit is abandonment of one's country or even death, injury from weapons, or alternatively fever.
वस्त्राभरणलाभश्च स्त्रीसुयोगो महत् सुखम् । शुक्रेन्दुसुतचन्द्रेषु वृषभस्वांशके फलम् ॥ ५॥
vastrābharaṇalābhaśca strīsuyogo mahat sukham | śukrendusutacandreṣu vṛṣabhasvāṃśake phalam || 5||
Gain of clothes and ornaments, union with women and great happiness — such is the fruit in the antardashas of Venus, the Moon and Mercury within the Taurus division.
एवं प्राज्ञैश्च विज्ञेयं कालचक्रदशाफलम् । अन्तर्दशाफलं चैव वामर्क्षेऽप्येवमेव च ॥ ५६॥
evaṃ prājñaiśca vijñeyaṃ kālacakradaśāphalam | antardaśāphalaṃ caiva vāmarkṣe'pyevameva ca || 56||
Thus should the fruits of the Kalachakra dasha be understood by the wise, and likewise the fruits of the antardashas should be judged in exactly the same manner even for the retrograde (reverse-order) signs.
