Tag-to-Adawal: Chaturashiti-Sama Dasa & Dwisaptati-sama Dasa

Dr. Shanker Adawal

Chaturashiti-sama Dasa is considered appropriate in cases, where the Tenth Lord is placed in Tenth House.

1. Counting is from Svati to the Birth Nakshatra and dividing this number by 7, the remainder will indicate the Dasa Lords in the following order: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.

2. The Dasa period of each Planet is 12 years. Total 84 years.

Dwisaptati-Sama

This Dasa system is considered suitable in cases, where the Lord of Ascendant is in Ascendant, or in the seventh house.

Another version

1. When the ascendant lord is in the 7^th house and the 7^th lord is in the ascendant, which appears to be more logical.

2. Counting is done from Mula to the Birth Nakshatra and dividing the number by 8, the remainder will determine the Dasa Lords in the following order: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Rahu.

3. In this Dasa system all the eight Planets only, (Ketu is not included), which have Dasas of 9 years each. The order of Dasa is in the natural arrangement of planets. Total 72 years.
