Verse 1 — Savya and Apasavya Kalachakra Computation

दस्रादितः पादवशेन मेषान्न्मीनाम्शकान्तं क्रमशोऽपसव्यम् । कीटाद्धयान्तं गणयेच्च सव्यमार्गेण पादक्रमशोऽजतारात् ॥ १॥

dasrāditaḥ pādavaśena meṣānnmīnāmśakāntaṃ kramaśo'pasavyam | kīṭāddhayāntaṃ gaṇayecca savyamārgeṇa pādakramaśo'jatārāt || 1||

Kalachakra Dasa is computed across Savya (clockwise) and Apasavya (counter-clockwise) cycles based on padas of the nakshatras; for Ashwini and consecutive stars, groups of three nakshatras proceed in their respective forward and reverse courses.

Verse 2 — Triads of Stars and Rashi Lord Years

एवं भूयाच्चापसव्यं च सव्यं भानि त्रीणि त्रीणि विद्यात्क्रमेण । तद्राशीशप्रोक्तवर्षैर्दशास्य देवं प्राहुः कालचक्रे महान्तः ॥ २॥

evaṃ bhūyāccāpasavyaṃ ca savyaṃ bhāni trīṇi trīṇi vidyātkrameṇa | tadrāśīśaproktavarṣairdaśāsya devaṃ prāhuḥ kālacakre mahāntaḥ || 2||

Thus in alternate triplets of nakshatras the savya and apasavya order should be known by the wise; the great sages declare that the dasha years of each rashi correspond to the years allotted to its presiding planetary lord.

Verse 3 — Sun and Planetary Year Allocations (Cipher Verse)

मनुः परः सनिर्धनिर्नृपस्तपो वने क्रमात् । दिवाकरदिवत्सराः शुभाशुभाप्तिहेतवः ॥ ३॥

manuḥ paraḥ sanirdhanirnṛpastapo vane kramāt | divākaradivatsarāḥ śubhāśubhāptihetavaḥ || 3||

The mnemonic numbers manu, para, etc., denote the span of years allocated to the Sun and remaining planets respectively, which become the causes of attaining auspicious and inauspicious fruits.

Verse 4 — Formulaic Padas and Syllables for Kalachakra Periods

दस्ःअपहारादिककालचक्रे वाक्यानि दस्रादिपदादिजानि । दक्ष्यामि वर्णैर्नवभिर्भमानै राशीशवर्षैः परमायुरत्र ॥ ४॥

dasḥapahārādikakālacakre vākyāni dasrādipadādijāni | dakṣyāmi varṇairnavabhirbhamānai rāśīśavarṣaiḥ paramāyuratra || 4||

In computing the dashas and sub-periods of Kalachakra, I shall expound the formulas born of the padas of Ashwini and other asterisms, using nine syllables corresponding to the rashi lords and maximum lifespan.

Verse 5 — Mnemonic Verse for Savya Asterism Groups (Part 1)

पौरं गावो मित सन्दिग्धं नक्षत्रेन्दुः स तु भूशूलम् । रूपेत्रक्षन्निधयोरङ्गे वाणी चस्थं दधि नक्षत्रम् ॥ ५॥

pauraṃ gāvo mita sandigdhaṃ nakṣatrenduḥ sa tu bhūśūlam | rūpetrakṣannidhayoraṅge vāṇī casthaṃ dadhi nakṣatram || 5||

The mnemonic phrases pauram, gaavo, mita, sandigdham, and subsequent word-ciphers represent the sequence of zodiacal signs for the padas of the designated constellations.

Verse 6 — Mnemonic Verse for Savya Asterism Groups (Part 2)

दासत्वेशो गौरीपुत्रं क्षन्निधिकारो गोभूशेषम् । सौदधिनक्षत्रेहासन्तो भौमगुरुः पुत्राक्षोनाधिः ॥ ६॥

dāsatveśo gaurīputraṃ kṣannidhikāro gobhūśeṣam | saudadhinakṣatrehāsanto bhaumaguruḥ putrākṣonādhiḥ || 6||

The cryptic phrases daasatvesho, gauriputram, kshannidhikaaro, and others delineate the successive rashi dashas governed by Mars, Jupiter, and other lords in the wheel.

Verse 7 — Application of Savya and Apasavya Formulas to Stars

वाक्यान्येतान्यश्वियाम्यर्क्षयोर्यान्यश्विन्याद्यन्यग्निभस्यापसव्ये । सव्येऽजेन्द्वोर्वक्ष्यमाणेषु वाक्येष्विन्दोर्वक्यान्येव रौद्रस्य भूयः ॥ ७॥

vākyānyetānyaśviyāmyarkṣayoryānyaśvinyādyanyagnibhasyāpasavye | savye'jendvorvakṣyamāṇeṣu vākyeṣvindorvakyānyeva raudrasya bhūyaḥ || 7||

These formulas apply to the pairs of constellations Ashwini and Bharani in reverse order for Krittika and other apasavya groups; in savya constellations the direct formulas of the Moon and Rudra are applied.

Verse 8 — Mnemonic Formulas for Apasavya Triads (Part 1)

धेनुः क्षेत्रे पुरगो शंभुस्तासां जत्रु क्षन्निधि दासी । चर्माभोगी रायधिनाक्षस्त्रीपौराङ्गी शिवतीर्थाब्जे ॥ ८॥

dhenuḥ kṣetre purago śaṃbhustāsāṃ jatru kṣannidhi dāsī | carmābhogī rāyadhinākṣastrīpaurāṅgī śivatīrthābje || 8||

The word-ciphers dhenuh, kshetre, purago, shambhuh, and associated cryptic terms convey the exact sequence of signs and life-years for the counter-clockwise group of constellations.

Verse 9 — Mnemonic Formulas for Apasavya Triads (Part 2)

त्रक्षनिधिर्दा सूचिशंभो सौरयधी नक्षत्रं पारम् । गोशिवतीर्थे दात्रिक्ष्न्नो धीहसितांशुभोर्गी रम्या ॥ ९॥

trakṣanidhirdā sūciśaṃbho saurayadhī nakṣatraṃ pāram | gośivatīrthe dātrikṣnno dhīhasitāṃśubhorgī ramyā || 9||

The cryptic designations trakshanidhi, da, sucishambho, and related terms describe the concluding sign transitions and longevity measures in the apasavya cycle.

Verse 10 — Proportional Balance of First Dasha from Asterism Pada

नक्षत्रपादैष्यघटी समुत्था पूर्वा दशा तत्पतिवर्षजाता । पूर्वोक्तपादक्रमशोऽत्र विद्यात्केषांचिदेवं मतमाहुरार्या ॥ १०॥

nakṣatrapādaiṣyaghaṭī samutthā pūrvā daśā tatpativarṣajātā | pūrvoktapādakramaśo'tra vidyātkeṣāṃcidevaṃ matamāhurāryā || 10||

The ghatikas of the natal nakshatra pada yet to elapse yield the balance of the first dasha in proportion to the total years of its planetary lord; subsequent periods proceed according to the padas described.

Verse 11 — Navamsha Distribution Across Constellation Padas

दस्रादिपादप्रभृतीनि भानां वाक्यानि यान्यक्षरपंक्तिजानि । तेषां क्रमेणैव दशा प्रकल्प्या वाक्यक्रमं साध्विति केचिदाहुः ॥ ११॥

dasrādipādaprabhṛtīni bhānāṃ vākyāni yānyakṣarapaṃktijāni | teṣāṃ krameṇaiva daśā prakalpyā vākyakramaṃ sādhviti kecidāhuḥ || 11||

Beginning from the first quarter of Ashwini, the distribution of navamshas and signs is determined through the cycles of zodiacal signs for both savya and apasavya reckoning.

Verse 12 — Special Jumps Across Junction Signs (Deha and Jiva Transitions)

वाक्यक्रमे कर्क्यलिमीनसन्धौ मण्डूकगत्यश्वरप्लुतिश्च । सिंहावलोकस्त्रिविधा तदानीं दशान्तरं दुःखफलप्रदं स्यात् ॥ १२॥

vākyakrame karkyalimīnasandhau maṇḍūkagatyaśvaraplutiśca | siṃhāvalokastrividhā tadānīṃ daśāntaraṃ duḥkhaphalapradaṃ syāt || 12||

In traversing the sequence of formulas across the junction of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, special directional leaps (muka-gati, simhavalokana, and manduka-gati) occur between the Deha and Jiva rashis.

Verse 13 — Sub-Periods (Apahara) Derived Proportionally from Syllable Years

तद्वाक्यवर्णक्रमशोपहारवर्षाहते तत्परमायुराप्ते । तदा दशायामपहारवर्षसंख्याश्च मासान्दिवसान्वदेयुः ॥ १३॥

tadvākyavarṇakramaśopahāravarṣāhate tatparamāyurāpte | tadā daśāyāmapahāravarṣasaṃkhyāśca māsāndivasānvadeyuḥ || 13||

Multiplying the years assigned to each syllable in the formula by the dasha years and dividing by the maximum lifespan of the cycle, the exact duration of each sub-period (apahara) is computed.

Verse 14 — Span of Longevity Defined by Formula Totals

वाक्येषु यावच्छरदां प्रमाणं वदन्ति तावत्परमायुरत्र । मेषादनीकं मदनं गजेन तुन्दः पुनश्चैवमुदीरितं तत् ॥ १४॥

vākyeṣu yāvaccharadāṃ pramāṇaṃ vadanti tāvatparamāyuratra | meṣādanīkaṃ madanaṃ gajena tundaḥ punaścaivamudīritaṃ tat || 14||

The total sum of years indicated across the syllables of each mnemonic formula designates the maximum longevity granted under that specific nakshatra pada pathway.

Verse 15 — Alternative Nakshatra Dashas: Utpanna, Adhana, and Kshema

उत्पन्न आधान आउर क्षेम महादशा महादशासु यत्फलं प्रकीर्तितं मया पुरा । तदेव योजयेद् बुधो दशासु चैवमादिषु ॥ १५॥

utpanna ādhāna āura kṣema mahādaśā mahādaśāsu yatphalaṃ prakīrtitaṃ mayā purā | tadeva yojayed budho daśāsu caivamādiṣu || 15||

The alternative dasha systems springing from the birth star—namely Utpanna, Adhana, and Kshema dashas—are reckoned from specific designated constellations relative to the natal Moon.

Verse 16 — Positions of Utpanna, Adhana, and Mitra Asterisms

जन्मर्क्षात्परतस्तु पञ्चमभवाऽथोत्पन्नसंज्ञा दशा स्यादाधानदशाऽप्यतोऽष्टमभवात् क्षेमान्महाख्या दशा । आसामेव दशावसानसमये मृत्युप्रदा स्यान्नृणां स्वल्पानल्पसमायुषां त्रिवधपञ्चर्क्षेशदायान्तिमे ॥ १६॥

janmarkṣātparatastu pañcamabhavā'thotpannasaṃjñā daśā syādādhānadaśā'pyato'ṣṭamabhavāt kṣemānmahākhyā daśā | āsāmeva daśāvasānasamaye mṛtyupradā syānnṛṇāṃ svalpānalpasamāyuṣāṃ trivadhapañcarkṣeśadāyāntime || 16||

The fifth asterism from the birth star is designated the Utpanna constellation; the eighth is known as Adhana; and other related nodal constellations form the basis of their respective planetary periods.

Verse 17 — Planetary Longevity Contributions in Pindayu Reckoning

एकं द्वे नव विंशतिर्धृतिकृतिः पञ्चाशदेषां क्रमात् चन्द्रारेन्दुजशुक्रजीवदिनकृद्दैवाकरीणां समाः । स्वै स्वैः पुष्टफला निसर्गजनितैः पक्तिर्दशाया क्रमादन्ते लग्नदशा हुभेति यवना नेच्छन्ति केचित्तथा ॥ १७॥

ekaṃ dve nava viṃśatirdhṛtikṛtiḥ pañcāśadeṣāṃ kramāt candrārendujaśukrajīvadinakṛddaivākarīṇāṃ samāḥ | svai svaiḥ puṣṭaphalā nisargajanitaiḥ paktirdaśāyā kramādante lagnadaśā hubheti yavanā necchanti kecittathā || 17||

The numerical measures one, two, nine, twenty, eighteen, and fifty represent the sequential multipliers used in deriving the base years contributed by the planets in mathematical longevity calculations.

Verse 18 — Conversion of Planetary Degrees to Longevity Minutes

लिप्तीकृत्य भजेद्र्ग्रहं खखजिनैस्तच्छिष्टमायुष्कला आशाखाश्विहृताब्दमदिवसाः सत्योदितेऽम्शायुषी । वक्रिण्युच्चगते त्रिसङ्गुणमिदं स्वांशत्रिभागोत्तमे द्विघ्नं नीचगतेऽर्धमप्यथ दलं मौढ्ये सितार्की विना ॥ १८॥

liptīkṛtya bhajedrgrahaṃ khakhajinaistacchiṣṭamāyuṣkalā āśākhāśvihṛtābdamadivasāḥ satyodite'mśāyuṣī | vakriṇyuccagate trisaṅguṇamidaṃ svāṃśatribhāgottame dvighnaṃ nīcagate'rdhamapyatha dalaṃ mauḍhye sitārkī vinā || 18||

Converting the longitude of each planet into minutes and dividing by the standard divisors, the remaining quotient represents the net longevity minutes (ayushkala) conferred by that celestial body.

Verse 19 — Reductions for Malefics and Planetary Debilitation

सर्वार्द्धत्रिकृतेषुषण्मितलवह्लासोऽसतामुत्क्रमाद्रिःफात्सत्सु दलं तदा हरति बल्येको बहुष्वेकभे । त्र्यंशोनं रिपुभे विना क्षितिसुतं सत्योपदेशे दशा लग्नस्यांशसमा बलिन्युदयभेऽस्यात्रापि तुल्यापि च ॥ १९॥

sarvārddhatrikṛteṣuṣaṇmitalavahlāso'satāmutkramādriḥphātsatsu dalaṃ tadā harati balyeko bahuṣvekabhe | tryaṃśonaṃ ripubhe vinā kṣitisutaṃ satyopadeśe daśā lagnasyāṃśasamā balinyudayabhe'syātrāpi tulyāpi ca || 19||

Deductions of half, one-third, and one-sixth of the allotted longevity occur when malefics reside in debilitation or adverse houses, while benefics mitigate these losses proportionally.

Verse 20 — Precepts on Longevity Synthesis and Subtle Discretion

तस्योपदेशो वरमत्र किन्तु कुर्वन्त्ययोग्यं बहुवर्गणभिः । आचार्यकं त्वत्र बहुघ्नतायाम् एको तु यद्भुरि तदेव कार्यम् ॥ २०॥

tasyopadeśo varamatra kintu kurvantyayogyaṃ bahuvargaṇabhiḥ | ācāryakaṃ tvatra bahughnatāyām eko tu yadbhuri tadeva kāryam || 20||

This instructional guidance on longevity determination is superior and revered; nevertheless the wise astrologer must exercise discriminating judgment taking all conflicting factors into account.

Verse 21 — Katapayadi Numerals for Solar Longevity Years

धेयं शूर शके श्रियं स्मय परे निद्राः समा भास्करात् पिण्डाख्ययुषि पूर्वच्च हरणं सर्व विदध्यादिह । लग्ने पापिनि भं विनोदयलवैर्निघ्नं नताङ्गैर्हृतं त्याज्यं सौम्यनिरीक्षितेऽर्धमृणमत्रायुष्यभिज्ञा विदुः ॥ २१॥

dheyaṃ śūra śake śriyaṃ smaya pare nidrāḥ samā bhāskarāt piṇḍākhyayuṣi pūrvacca haraṇaṃ sarva vidadhyādiha | lagne pāpini bhaṃ vinodayalavairnighnaṃ natāṅgairhṛtaṃ tyājyaṃ saumyanirīkṣite'rdhamṛṇamatrāyuṣyabhijñā viduḥ || 21||

The coded words dheyah, shurah, shake, shriyam, smaye, and associated letters starting from the Sun denote the full longevity years allotted across the planetary hierarchy.

Verse 22 — Lagna Dasha and Navamsha Span in Pindayu Scheme

लग्नदशामंशसमां बलवत्यंशे वदन्ति पैण्डाख्ये । बलयुक्तं यदि लग्नं राशिसमैवात्र नांशोत्वा ॥ २२॥

lagnadaśāmaṃśasamāṃ balavatyaṃśe vadanti paiṇḍākhye | balayuktaṃ yadi lagnaṃ rāśisamaivātra nāṃśotvā || 22||

In the Pindayu method, when the ascendant or its navamsha is powerfully placed, the Lagna Dasha provides years equal to the navamshas traversed by the rising sign.

Verse 23 — Longevity Adjustments for Debilitation and Exaltation

हरणं नीचेऽर्द्धमृणं स्यात्पूर्णं प्रोक्तवर्षमुच्चगृहे । पैण्डादौ व्द्यन्तरगे प्राज्ञैस्त्रैराशिकं चिन्त्यम् ॥ २३॥

haraṇaṃ nīce'rddhamṛṇaṃ syātpūrṇaṃ proktavarṣamuccagṛhe | paiṇḍādau vdyantarage prājñaistrairāśikaṃ cintyam || 23||

When a planet is situated in its sign of debilitation, half of its longevity contribution is deducted; when placed in its sign of exaltation, its full declared period is conferred intact.

Verse 24 — Eminence of Pindayu Longevity Determination

पैण्डाख्यमायुर्ब्रुर्वते प्रधानं मणित्थचाणक्यमयादयश्च । एतन्न साध्वित्यवदद्भदन्तो वराहसूर्यस्य तथैव वाक्यम् ॥ २४॥

paiṇḍākhyamāyurbrurvate pradhānaṃ maṇitthacāṇakyamayādayaśca | etanna sādhvityavadadbhadanto varāhasūryasya tathaiva vākyam || 24||

The preceptors declare Pindayu to be the foremost and principal longevity system; it should be calculated with precision from planetary positions adjusted for retrogradation and dignity.

Verse 25 — Jeevasharma Alternative Opinion on Longevity Shares

सूर्यादिकानां स्वमतेन जीवशर्म स्वरांशं परमायुषोऽत्र । अस्यापि सर्व हरणं विधेयं पूर्वोक्तिवल्लग्नदशामपीह ॥ २५॥

sūryādikānāṃ svamatena jīvaśarma svarāṃśaṃ paramāyuṣo'tra | asyāpi sarva haraṇaṃ vidheyaṃ pūrvoktivallagnadaśāmapīha || 25||

According to the doctrine of Acharya Jeevasharma, each planet from the Sun onwards contributes an individual fractional share of the maximum lifespan, and standard reductions apply to the Lagna dasha here as well.

Verse 26 — The Vedic Hundred-Year Span of Human Longevity

नॄणां द्वादशवत्सरा दशहता ह्यायुःप्रमाणं परैराख्यातं परमं शनेस्त्रिभगणं यावत्परैरीरितम् । कैश्चिच्चन्द्रसहस्रदर्शनमिह प्रोक्तं कलौ किन्तु यत् वेदोक्तं शरदः शतं हि परमायुर्दायमाचक्ष्महे ॥ २६॥

nṝṇāṃ dvādaśavatsarā daśahatā hyāyuḥpramāṇaṃ parairākhyātaṃ paramaṃ śanestribhagaṇaṃ yāvatparairīritam | kaiściccandrasahasradarśanamiha proktaṃ kalau kintu yat vedoktaṃ śaradaḥ śataṃ hi paramāyurdāyamācakṣmahe || 26||

Other authorities assert human lifespan to be one hundred and twenty years, or equal to three revolutions of Saturn, or seeing a thousand full Moons; but as declared in the Vedas, we proclaim one hundred autumns (years) to be the standard maximum lifespan.

Verse 27 — Order of Longevity Dashas from Strongest Centre

लग्नादित्येन्दुकानामधिकबलवतः स्याद्दशादौ ततोऽन्या तत्केन्द्रादिस्थितानामिह बहुषु पुनर्वीर्यतो वीर्यसाम्ये । बह्वायुर्वर्षदातुः प्रथममिनवशाच्चोदितस्याब्दसाम्ये वीर्यं किन्त्वत्र सन्धिग्रहविवरहतं भावसन्ध्यन्तराप्तम् ॥ २७॥

lagnādityendukānāmadhikabalavataḥ syāddaśādau tato'nyā tatkendrādisthitānāmiha bahuṣu punarvīryato vīryasāmye | bahvāyurvarṣadātuḥ prathamaminavaśāccoditasyābdasāmye vīryaṃ kintvatra sandhigrahavivarahataṃ bhāvasandhyantarāptam || 27||

Among the Lagna, the Sun, and the Moon, the dasha begins first from the one endowed with greatest strength; then follow the dashas of the planets in angular houses (kendras) and succeedents (panapharas) ranked by potency.

Verse 28 — Amshayu from Lagna, Pindayu from Sun, Naisargikayu from Moon

अंशोद्भवं लग्नबलात्प्रसाध्यमायुश्च पिण्डोद्भवमर्कवीर्यात् । नैसर्गिकं चन्द्रबलात्प्रसाध्यं ब्रूमस्रयाणामपि वीर्यसाम्ये ॥ २८॥

aṃśodbhavaṃ lagnabalātprasādhyamāyuśca piṇḍodbhavamarkavīryāt | naisargikaṃ candrabalātprasādhyaṃ brūmasrayāṇāmapi vīryasāmye || 28||

Amshayu should be derived when the Lagna is paramount in strength; Pindayu is determined from the Solar potency; Naisargika longevity is evaluated through Lunar power; we declare the synthesis when all three possess comparable strength.

Verse 29 — Averaging and Synthesis Across Longevity Systems

तेषां त्रयाणामिह संयुतिस्तु त्रिभिर्हृता सैव दशा प्रकल्प्या । वीर्ये द्वयोरैक्यदलं तयोः स्यात् चेज्जीवशर्मायुरमी बलोनाः ॥ २९॥

teṣāṃ trayāṇāmiha saṃyutistu tribhirhṛtā saiva daśā prakalpyā | vīrye dvayoraikyadalaṃ tayoḥ syāt cejjīvaśarmāyuramī balonāḥ || 29||

When all three centers are equally powerful, the sum of all three systems divided by three is adopted as the true longevity dasha; if two are strong, half their aggregate is taken; if all are weak, Jeevasharma's method is applied.

Verse 30 — Applicability of Kalachakra when Moon Navamsha Lord is Strong

कालचक्रदशा ज्ञेया चन्द्रांशेशे बलान्विते । सदा नक्षत्रमार्गेण दशा बलवती स्मृता ॥ ३०॥

kālacakradaśā jñeyā candrāṃśeśe balānvite | sadā nakṣatramārgeṇa daśā balavatī smṛtā || 30||

Kalachakra Dasa is to be applied particularly when the lord of the Moon's navamsha is endowed with strength; following the nakshatra path, this dasha is always held to be powerfully indicative and authoritative.

Verse 31 — Maximum Longevity Measures for Humans and Diverse Creatures

समाः षष्टिद्विघ्ना मनुजकरिणां पञ्च च निशा हयानां द्वत्रिंशत्खरकरभयोः पञ्चककृतिः । विरूपा साप्यायुर्वृषमहिषयोद्वदिश शुनां स्मृतं छागादीनां दशकसहिताः षट् च परमम् ॥ ३१॥

samāḥ ṣaṣṭidvighnā manujakariṇāṃ pañca ca niśā hayānāṃ dvatriṃśatkharakarabhayoḥ pañcakakṛtiḥ | virūpā sāpyāyurvṛṣamahiṣayodvadiśa śunāṃ smṛtaṃ chāgādīnāṃ daśakasahitāḥ ṣaṭ ca paramam || 31||

One hundred and twenty years is declared the maximum life for humans and elephants, thirty-two years for horses, twenty-five for donkeys and camels, twenty-four for bulls and buffaloes, twelve for dogs, and sixteen for goats and sheep.

Verse 32 — Requisites for Full Lifespan: Virtue, Moderation, and Piety

ये धर्मकर्मनिरता विजितेन्द्रिया ये ये पथ्यभोजनजुषो द्विजदेवभक्ताः । लोके नरा दधति ये कुलशीललिलां तेषामिदं कथितमायुरुदारधीभिः ॥ ३२॥

ye dharmakarmaniratā vijitendriyā ye ye pathyabhojanajuṣo dvijadevabhaktāḥ | loke narā dadhati ye kulaśīlalilāṃ teṣāmidaṃ kathitamāyurudāradhībhiḥ || 32||

Those who are dedicated to righteous action, who have mastered their senses, who partake of wholesome diet, who revere brahmins and gods, and who uphold the noble conduct and honor of their lineage—to them this full lifespan declared by the wise applies.
