You just got confused. There is nothing " intriguing " there. The " principle of

death-inflicting dasa " that you mention below is intriguing, however.

 

If natal Moon is in Krittika, Sun dasa runs first. After that, Moon and Mars

dasas will come. In other words, dasas of Rohini and Mrigasira will come next.

It's just a different way of putting it. This is the standard Vimsottari dasa

definition. You just got confused.

Wrong. It is Moola 2nd pada. The native runs Ketu dasa from an age of 87 to 94.

As per the principle given above, that is the maraka dasa.
