Verse 1 — Fruits of the Chara, Sthira and Other Dashas

चरस्थिरादिसंज्ञा या दशाः प्रोक्ताः पुरा द्विज । शुभाऽशुभफलं तासां कथयामि तवाऽग्रतः ॥ १॥

carasthirādisaṃjñā yā daśāḥ proktāḥ purā dvija | śubhā'aśubhaphalaṃ tāsāṃ kathayāmi tavā'grataḥ ||

O Brahmin, the dashas formerly described under the names Chara, Sthira and the rest — their auspicious and inauspicious fruits I now declare before you.

Verse 2 — Result Scales With the Sign Lord's Strength

बलयुक्ते च राशीशे पूर्णं तस्य तदा फलम् । फलं मध्य्बले मध्यं बलहीने विपर्ययः ॥ ३॥

balayukte ca rāśīśe pūrṇaṃ tasya tadā phalam | phalaṃ madhyabale madhyaṃ bala-hīne viparyayaḥ ||

When the sign lord is strong the full result follows; with medium strength the result is halved, and with a weak lord the outcome turns contrary.

Verse 3 — Evaluation of Beneficial and Malefic Sub-Periods in Charadi Dashas

शुभग्रहयुते दृष्टे राशौ सौख्यं विनिर्दिशेत् । पापग्रहैर्युते दृष्टे क्लेशं दुःखं च निर्दिशेत् ॥ ४॥

śubhagrahayute dṛṣṭe rāśau saukhyaṃ vinirdiśet | pāpagrahairyute dṛṣṭe kleśaṃ duḥkhaṃ ca nirdiśet ||

When the active dasha sign is conjoined with or aspected by benefic planets, pronounce happiness and prosperity; when conjoined with or aspected by malefic planets, declare distress and misery.
