[Jagannath] Vimsottari Dasa Interpretation

[Guest guest]

|| ohm gam ganapathayae namaha ||

 

dear members,

 

Yesterday, I was reading Jataka Parajatakam, by Vaidyannatha.

In the 18th chapter there (Dasaantardasaadhyaaya:),

 

 

aaditya candra kuja raahu suraeSa mantri

mandajna kaetu bRgujaa nava kRttikaadyaa:

taenoenaya: sinadayaa taTa dhanya saevya

saenaa naraa dinakaraadi daSaabda sankhyaa

 

MEANING: (I had translation in telugu with me, which I am translating to

English).

krittika etc. nine constellations, nine planets take lord ship of the

dasas.

This way, the 27 constellations, in three groups of nine constallations

each

from krittika onwards form 3 cycles.

 

In all these 3 cycles, Ravi, Chandra, Kuja, Rahu, Guru, Sani, Budha,

Kethu, Sukra take lord ship starting with Ravi for krittika.

The 9 planets (starting with Ravi) have 6,10,7,18,16,19,17,7,20 years of

their dasa

duration.

 

 

NOW, I did not get how the dasas are distributed among the

constellations. The above sloka was intriguing.

After this, in the same chapter, the author hints how to find the dasa

which is death inflicting.

Niryana Dasa:

If the birth was in day time T = Ravi + Sani

else if the birth was in night time T = Chandra + Rahu

(deduct multples of 360).

Now for T, find out which Rasi and constellation.

Find out the part of that constellation in the dasa. During that period

native will die.

For eg.

Date of Birth: September 26, 1974

Time of Birth: 7:34:00 am

Time Zone of Birth: 5:30 East of GMT

Longitude of Birth: 81 E 12

Latitude of Birth: 16 N 15

Lunar month (maasa): Bhadrapada

Lunar day (tithi): Sukla Ekadasi

Sun-Moon Yoga: Atiganda

 

Sunrise = 5:54:37 am (Apparent rise - upper limb)

 

Ayanamsa = 23-30-31.49

 

Tatkaala Ravi Dasa (Vimsottari) Sesham

= 0 yr 1 mo 24 d 52 gh

Ravi was at 9 Vi 6'46.02'' i.e. 150 + 9deg 6'46.02 " i.e. 159deg 6'

46.02 "

Sani was at 24Ge15'26.89'' i.e. 60+24deg 15'26.89 " i.e. 84deg 15'26.89 "

 

T = Ravi + Sani = 159 deg 6 min 46.02 sec + 84 deg 15 min 26.89 sec

= 243 deg 22 min 12.91 sec

= 3 Sg 22'12.91 "

i.e. Purvashada 3 padam

 

Does any one has any idea as to how the dasas are distributed among the

constellations?

 

Regards,

Vijay.
