The Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra is the most comprehensive and premier classical text of
the Hindu Astrology. It is consider as the foundation work on the natal astrology. This text
contains a discourse given by Sage Parashara to his disciple Maitraya. The exact date/time of
the origination of this text is unknown .Many scholars propose that it might be a compilation
of the then available knowledge on the subject (natal astrology) and it dates to the 7th
Century AD or 8th Century AD. However, the text says that it is the work of Sage Parashara.
According to a popular legend Parashara  was the father of Vedavyasa who was the author of
the epic Mahabharata. There are different versions of this text available at present: by Shri
Venkateshwar Press Mumbai (translator Pandit Tara Chand Shastri) , by Pandit Devachandra
Jha , by Pandit Ganesh Dutt Pathak and by Pandit Sita Ram Jha. Apart from these four early
versions of this text many new commentaries have also come in both Hindi and English in the
last couple of decades.

The ‘Dasha Adhaya’ in all the versions of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastara contains almost
same number of Dashas with similar method of their calculation. However, there is one Rashi
Dasha named ‘Rashiyanka Dasha’ which is discussed in only two available versions of this
classical text. The ‘Rashiyanka Dasha’ has been given in the translation of Pandit Tara Chand
Shastri and Pandit Ganesh Dutt Pathak. My teacher Naval Singh introduced me with the
method of  Rashiyanka Dasha way back in October 2011. He explained to me the scheme of
its calculation by giving the reference from the Venkateshwar Press edition of Brihat
Parashara Hora Shastra then. The concern Sanskrit Sloka is given below here.

English Translation: First calculate the lagna and 12 houses as per the method explain
earlier.  Then mark the Navamsha Rashi of the lagna lord in Rashi chart and start Dasha from
there. The next Dasha will be of the second house from this sign and so on. The Rashiyanka
Dasha is applied where the lagna or lagna lord is strong.

{Stanza number 47 and 48 at page number 258 of the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra published
by Shri Venkateshwar Press Mumbai}

Rashiyanka Dasha is a conditional Rashi Dasha and it should be applied on a horoscope where
lagna lord is either in its sign of exaltation or in own sign or in its friendly sign. This Dasha
moves in direct order, as mention in the classical text, and number of years for each Rashi
should be calculated as we do in the case of ‘Mandooka Dasha’.

Later I found the following reference of Rashiyanka Dasha given in the translation of Brihat
Parashara Hora Shastra by Pandit Ganesh Dutt Pathak.

English Translation: After calculating the lagna and 12 houses find out the stronger between
the lagna and lagna lord. The Dasha will start from the Navamsha sign of the stronger
between the two.

English Translation: The next Dasha will be of the Navamsha sign of the second house and so
on.

{ Stanza number 117 and 118 at page number 394 of the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra by
Pandit Ganesh Dutt Pathak}

As per  the version of Pandit Ganesh Dutt Pathak the Rashiyanka Dasha should  start from the
Navamsha sign of the strongest between the lagna and lagna lord. However, the
Venketashwara Press version clearly says that Dasha should  start  from the Navamsha sign of
the lagna lord. Interestingly the Rashiyanka Dasha found no mention in any of the available

version of Jaimini Sutras despite the fact that it is a Rashi Dasha! The ‘Upadesh Sutras’  by
Maharishi Jaimini contains so many Rashi Dashas but it doesn’t have any hint on the
Rashiyanka Dasha. This could be a major reason that none of the Jaimini scholars have paid
any consideration to this Rashi Dasha till day.

I started my work  on the method  as given in the Venketeshwara Press version of Brihat
Parashara Hora Shastra. After working on more than 60 horoscopes, in last four years, I
have find out  that Rashiyanka Dasha  works in the charts where the lord of lagna is
strong in both Rashi chart as well as in the Navamsha chart. Although the classic says
that Rashiyanka Dasha can be applied on the chart where lagna lord is strong but it
doesn’t mention the method by which the strength of the lagan lord should be
ascertained. In my practice I have observed that if the lagna lord is  in its sign of
exaltation or own house or friendly sign in the Rashi and Navamsha charts only then the
Rashiyanka Dasha can be applied on a horoscope.

In the first example for Rashiyanka Dasha I am taking the chart of Tony Blair who was the
Prime Minister of United Kingdom (UK) from 2 May 1997 to 27 June 2007. In the Rashi chart of
Tony Blair the lagan lord Venus is in its sign of exaltation. In Navamsha Venus is in its friendly
sign Capricorn. So it’s fit into our condition for the application of Rashiyanka Dasha. The
Rashi Dasha will start from Capricorn the Navamsha sign of the lagna lord Venus. The Dasha
will move in direct order.

Capricorn    1953   to 1958   (counting indirect from  Capricorn to its lord Saturn )

Aquarius      1958  to  1966   ( eight years as counting will be direct for odd Rashi )

In the horoscope King George VI the lagan lord Venus is in own sign Libra in the Rashi chart.
In Navamsha chart Venus is in Aquarius, which is its friendly sign. So the Rashiyanka Dasha
will be applicable on his chart. The Dasha will start from Aquarius, the Navamsha sign of
lagan lord here, and will move in direct order.

Aquarius       1895   to  1904      (counting direct for an odd sign)

Pisces           1904  to   1913      ( counting indirect from Rashi to its lord for even sign)
