Verse 29 — The Self-Sub-Period Rule

न दिशेयुर्ग्रहाः सर्वे स्वदशासु स्वभुक्तिषु। शुभाशुभफलं नृणामात्मभावानुरूपतः॥२९॥

na diśeyur grahāḥ sarve svadaśāsu svabhuktiṣu | śubhāśubhaphalaṁ nṛṇām ātmabhāvānurūpataḥ || 29 ||

No planet gives its full auspicious or inauspicious result to human beings in its own dasha and its own bhukti; it gives according to its own nature and situation.

Verse 30 — Related and Similar Sub-Period Lords

आत्मसम्बन्धिनो ये च ये वा निजसधर्मिणः। तेषामन्तर्दशास्वेव दिशन्ति स्वदशाफलम्॥३०॥

ātmasambandhino ye ca ye vā nijasadharmiṇaḥ | teṣāmantardaśāsveva diśanti svadaśāphalam || 30 ||

A planet gives its own dasha-result in the antardashas of those planets that are related to it, or that share its own functional nature.

Verse 31 — Unrelated and Opposing Sub-Periods

इतरेषां दशानाथविरुद्धफलदायिनाम्। तत्तत्फलानुगुण्येन फलान्यूह्यानि सूरिभिः॥३१॥

itareṣāṁ daśānātha viruddhaphaladāyinām | tattatphalānuguṇyena phalānyūhyāni sūribhiḥ || 31 ||

For the others, which give results opposed to the dasha lord, the wise should infer the results according to the fitness and measure of each result.

Verse 32 — Kendra and Trikona Sub-Period Interplay

स्वदशायां त्रिकोणेशो भुक्तौ केन्द्रापतेः शुभम्। दिशेत्सोऽपि तथा नोचेदसम्बन्धेन पापकृत्॥३२॥

svadaśāyāṁ trikoṇeśo bhuktau kendrāpateḥ śubham | diśet so'pi tathā noced asambandhena pāpakṛt || 32 ||

In the dasha of a trikona lord, the kendra lord gives auspicious results in its bhukti; that one likewise does so. If there is no relationship, it acts as a malefic.

Verse 33 — Rajayoga Begins in Maraka Sub-Periods

आरम्भो राजयोगस्य भवेन्मारकभुक्तिषु। प्रथयन्ति तमारभ्य क्रमशः पापभुक्तयः॥३३॥

ārambho rājayogasya bhaven mārakabhuktiṣu | prathayanti tam ārabhya kramaśaḥ pāpabhuktayaḥ || 33 ||

The commencement of a rajayoga may occur in the bhuktis of maraka planets; beginning with that, the malefic bhuktis spread it in due order.

Verse 34 — Related and Unrelated Benefic Sub-Periods

तत्सम्बन्धिशुभानां च तथा पुनरसंयुजाम्। शुभानां तु समत्वेन संयोगो योगकारिणाम्॥३४॥

tatsambandhiśubhānāṁ ca tathā punarasaṁyujām | śubhānāṁ tu samatvena saṁyogo yogakāriṇām || 34 ||

The benefics related to those malefics, and likewise the unrelated benefics, give results of comparable measure; the conjunction of the yogakarakas with them is on equal terms.

Verse 35 — Yogakaraka Sub-Periods in a Benefic Dasha

शुभस्यास्य प्रसक्तस्य दशायां योगकारकाः। स्वभुक्तिषु प्रयच्छन्ति कुत्रचिद्योगजं फलम्॥३५॥

śubhasyāsya prasaktasya daśāyāṁ yogakārakāḥ | svabhuktiṣu prayacchanti kutracidyogajaṁ phalam || 35 ||

In the dasha of a benefic related to it, yogakarakas bestow yoga-born results in their own bhuktis, sometimes.

Verse 36 — Unassociated Nodes as Yogakarakas

तमोग्रहौ शुभारूढावसम्बन्धेन केनचित्। अन्तर्दशानुसारेण भवेतां योगकारकौ॥३६॥

tamograhau śubhārūḍhāv asambandhena kenacit | antardaśānusāreṇa bhavetāṁ yogakārakau || 36 ||

If the two shadow planets are placed in auspicious houses and are unconnected with any planet, they become yogakarakas according to the antardasha.

Verse 37 — Benefic Sub-Periods in a Malefic Dasha

पापा यदि दशानाथाः शुभानां तदसंयुजाम्। भुक्तयः पापफलदास्तत्संयुक्शुभभुक्तयः॥३७॥

pāpā yadi daśānāthāḥ śubhānāṁ tadasaṁyujām | bhuktayaḥ pāpaphaladās tatsaṁyuk śubhabhuktayaḥ || 37 ||

If the dasha lords are malefics, the bhuktis of benefics unconnected with them give inauspicious results; the bhuktis of benefics connected with them give mixed results.

Verse 38 — Mixed and Extreme Results

भवन्ति मिश्रफलदा भुक्तयो योगकारिणाम्। अत्यन्तपापफलदा भवन्ति तदसंयुजाम्॥३८॥

bhavanti miśraphaladā bhuktayo yogakāriṇām | atyantapāpaphaladā bhavanti tadasaṁyujām || 38 ||

The bhuktis of yogakarakas connected with them give mixed results; those of yogakarakas unconnected with them give extremely inauspicious results.

Verse 39 — Maraka Timing and Benefic Armour

सत्यपि स्वेन सम्बन्धे न हन्ति शुभभुक्तिषु। हन्ति सत्यप्यसम्बन्धे मारकः पापभुक्तिषु॥३९॥

satyapi svena sambandhe na hanti śubhabhuktiṣu | hanti satyapyasambandhe mārakaḥ pāpabhuktiṣu || 39 ||

Even when connected with it, a maraka does not kill in benefic bhuktis; even when unconnected, a maraka kills in malefic bhuktis.

Verse 40 — The Venus-Saturn Reversal

परस्परदशायां स्वभुक्तौ सूर्यजभार्गवौ। व्यत्ययेन विशेषेण प्रदिशेतां शुभाशुभम्॥४०॥

parasparadaśāyāṁ svabhuktau sūryajabhārgavau | vyatyayena viśeṣeṇa pradiśetāṁ śubhāśubham || 40 ||

In each other's dasha and in its own bhukti, Saturn and Venus give auspicious and inauspicious results in a particularly reversed manner.

Verse 41 — Lagna and Tenth Lord Exchange

लग्नकर्माधिनेतारौ अन्योन्याश्रयसंस्थितौ। राजयोगाविति प्रोक्तं विख्यातो विजयी भवेत्॥४१॥

lagnakarmādhinetārau anyonyāśrayasaṁsthitau | rājayogāviti proktaṁ vikhyāto vijayī bhavet || 41 ||

When the lords of the lagna and the tenth house are established in mutual exchange, they are declared to form a rajayoga; the native becomes renowned and victorious.

Verse 42 — Ninth and Tenth Lord Exchange

धर्मकर्माधिनेतारौ अन्योन्याश्रयसंस्थितौ। राजयोगाविति प्रोक्तं विख्यातो विजयी भवेत्॥४२॥

dharmakarmādhinetārau anyonyāśrayasaṁsthitau | rājayogāviti proktaṁ vikhyāto vijayī bhavet || 42 ||

When the lords of dharma and karma, the ninth and tenth houses, are established in mutual exchange, they are declared to form a rajayoga; the native becomes renowned and victorious.
