Dr. Shanker Adawal
The few sages have
recommended the adoption of Astottari Dasa, when Rahu is not present in
Ascendant, but in any other Kendra – (1,4,7,10), or Trikona – (5,9) to the Lord
of the Ascendant. When Rahu is in other places in the birth Chart, this
Astottari Dasa is not applicable to the Native.
The Astottari Dasa has
also two versions. When there in a planet placed in the ascendant, the Dasa is
counted from Ardra nakshatra, but when there is NO planet in Ascendant, then
the Dasa is counted from Krittika Nakshatra.
(Lahiri Indian Ephemeris
also gives Balance of Astottari Dasa by longitude of Moon at birth, both from
Krittika and Ardra Nakshatra).
Astottari
Dasa by Ardra Nakshatra-
1.
For four Nakshatras starting from Ardra commences the Dasa of Sun,
2.
For next three nakshatra after that i.e. Magha begins the Dasa of Moon,
3.
Four nakshatra after that i.e. from Hasta will give the Dasa of Mars,
4.
Three nakshatra after that i.e. from Anuradha, the Lord of Dasa will be
Mercury,
5.
Four nakshatra wherefrom i.e. from Purvasadha will have Saturn as the Dasa
Lord,
6.
Three nakshatra thereafter i.e. from Dhanistha, the Lord will be Jupiter,
7.
Rahu will be the Lord of the Dasa next four Nakshatras after that i.e. from U.
Bhadrapada, and
8.
Then Venus will take over the lordship of the Dasa of next three Nakshatras
from the last one mentioned above i.e. from Krittika.
Astottari
Dasa by Krittika Nakshatra-
1.
For four Nakshatras starting from Krittika commences the Dasa of Sun,
2.
For next three nakshatra after that begins the Dasa of Moon,
3.
Four
nakshatra after that, will give the Dasa of Mars,
4.
Three nakshatra after that, the Lord of Dasa will be Mercury,
5.
Four nakshatra wherefrom will have Saturn as the Dasa, Lord,
6.
Three nakshatra thereafter, the Lord will be Jupiter,
7.
Rahu will be the Lord of the Dasa for next four Nakshatras after that and
8.
Then Venus will take over the lordship of the Dasa of next three Nakshatras.
9.
The Lord of the Dasa at birth will be determined by counting in this order up
to the Birth Nakshatra.
10.
The duration of Astottari Dasa for Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter,
Rahu and Venus Dasas are 6, 15, 8, 17, 10, 19, 12 and 21 years in respective
order.

Note:
That in this Dasa system only Eight Planets play the role of Dasa Lords, Ketu
having been denied this privilege.
1.
Further the malefic planets are allotted four nakshatra and the benefic planets
are allotted only three nakshatras.
The Dasas of the various
Planets have been specified above. In the case of malefic Planets the Dasa span
of one Nakshatra is ¼ of the Dasa of the Planet. It is 1/3rd in the
case of benefic. Thus the expired portion of the Dasa is calculated, according
to the method, followed for Vimsottari Dasa, by Multiplying the Bhayat, i.e.
the expired period of the stay of Moon in the Birth Nakshatra, by the Dasa
portion of the Birth Nakshatra and dividing it by Bhabhog, i.e. the total
period of the stay of Moon in the Birth Nakshatra. Then the balance of Dasa at
birth can also be ascertained.
When Uttarasadha happens
to be the Birth Nakshatra, the duration of its first three Padas is taken, as
Bhabhog and the Dasa calculations should be done accordingly.
2.
The Dasa and calculations for Abhijit Nakshatra (19 Ghati) are done by taking
the 4th Pad (4 Ghati) of Uttarasadha plus the 15th part of
the beginning of Sravana. For Sravana the Bhabhog would be the total of its
duration in Ghatis minus the 1/15th part of the beginning of
Sravana.
