Astottari Dasa

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha, I think you missed the final part of my reply to you

about this. I explained about the calculations there. See below.

Also, could you explain a bit more about the counting you mention and

its significance

Thanks!

: > " (6) Zoran, in Parasara's verse on Ashtottari dasa, the

expression " raudrabhaaditah " is interpreted by some as

" from Krittika " and by some as " from Ardra " . Most traditional

pundits use Ardra. So do I and Sanjay. "

 

 

 

 

 

I have a question about how you compressed Ashtottari dasa

>to the Tajaka chart. Did you take Moon's nakshatra in the

>Tajaka chart and find Ashtottari dasa in the normal way

>(but compressed from 108 years to 1 year)? Or, did you

>progress natal Moon's nakshatra by one nakshatra per year

>like in Mudda dasa (annual Vimsottari dasa)? Or did you

>progress natal Moon's nakshatra by one " nakshatra block "

>(giving one full dasa) per year? (Note: In the case of

>Vimsottari, the last 2 approaches are equivalent, but

>Ashtottari dasa is different.)

 

I simply let the program I use do it! and did not check its results. It

is

Shri Jyoti program.

I assumed it was Approach (1), but now checking I see it isn't. In that

 

Varshaphal Moon at approx 22 Cap should be in Astottari Saturn/ Merc at

time

of Varshapravesh and compressed dasas should follow from that. But when

 

using the " Compresss " option the program says the first dasa is

Moon/Rahu

which isn't right. Even natally, Yugoslavia should be in Astotari

Jup/Saturn. If I used the Astotari-Mudda formula:

 

(5 + 8) - 2

____________ = remainder 2 Starting Dasa: Moon

(second dasa).

 

9

 

 

 

Natally balance of Moon is .034167 (Astotari balance) times ten years

Saturn

dasa divided by total Astotari years of 108 years times 365.2425 days in

a

year gives a balance of 1.155 days of Moon dasa. However Andrew's

program

gives 18 days balance of Moon so I wonder what he is doing I will have

to

check with him.
