mandooka dasa

Dear Narasimha,

 

Can you please explain JHora’s calculation of the

initiating sign for Navamsa / Mandooka dasa?

 

As per Jaimini sutras (GD translation & notes on sutra

2.4.15), Mandooka dasa is calculated as follows:

1) Commence from

ascendant or adarsa sign based on oddity of lagna

2) Reckon dasas

zodiacally / anti-zodiacally with mandooka gati based on oddity of lagna

3) Eg. Sco

lagna: Ari, Aqu, Sag, Lib, Leo

 

But, it looks like JHora is doing something different:

1) Commence

from 11th house

2) Reckon dasas

zodiacally / anti-zodiacally with mandooka gati based on oddity of lagna

3) Eg. Sco

lagna: Vir, Can, Tau, Pis

 

The notes under 2.4.15 say that an “odd sign always

initiates the dasa”, while this is certainly not the case here. We’re

also told “the sign initiating the manduk dasa is the same as the Navamsa

dasa”, while neither of these methods seems to give the initiating sign

for JH’s Navamsa dasa.

 

Can you please clarify?

 

Thanks,
