Sutra 16: Niryanalabhadishooladasaphale.
"In predicting results, the 7th from the Niryana Shoola Dasa should be
taken first into account".

Quote:
If the commencing Dasa falls in a feminine sign then the Dasas have to
be counted from the 7th sign from it. In masculine horoscopes the
Arambha Dasa commences from Lagna. In feminine horoscopes it commences
from the 7th.
MY NOTES:
This may be either the translators own opinion or it may perhaps come
from some oral tradition that he knows about. I don't know about that.
I am however not convinced that it has anything to do with Jaimini.
Then sutra 16 informs us that the 7th house should be taken first into
account in case of Niryana Shoola Dasa. But still nothing special has
been said about the 7th house in relation to the even signs.

No sub-periods
I have never seen anything indicating Jaimini using sub-periods for
the Dasa-systems having fixed periods like Sthira Dasa and Niryana
Shoola Dasa. I think sub-periods were only calculated in case of Chara
Dasa and the other Dasa-systems based on that particular method of
counting the years.
In connection to Sthira Dasa and Niryana Shoola Dasa I am of the
impression that Jaimini used Navamsa-Dasa for precise timings. I think
the very word Navamsa has a double meaning here by indicating the
dividing of not only the Rashi but also its Shoola-dasa-period by 9.
Therefore the period of each Navamsa-dasa will be ONE YEAR only.
However, the Sthira Dasa starts from the SIGN occupied by the Brahmaplanet, and when used in connection to Sthira Dasa the Navamsa Dasa
should start from the NAVAMSA occupied by the Brahma-planet.
Navamsa Dasa
In case of Niryana Shoola Dasa on the other hand I believe there may
be an additional solution. It seems logical to assume that the Navamsa
Dasa could also start from the Navamsa occupied by the Ascendant
itself. This means we get two different kinds of Navamsa Dasa. But
then of course this whole thing becomes a very delicate matter, since
a minor error in the birthtime of only a few minutes may give a
completely different Navamsa-Lagna.
Anyway, this opens a very interesting area of research regarding
rectification of the birthtime, since Navamsa-Dasa seems to be a very

Transit Saturn
There seems to be a very interesting relationship between transit
Saturn and the Niryana Shoola Dasa. At first I didn't believe this,
but then little by little I came to realize the obviousness of the
truth in this. Please observe the following sutra very closely:
(Adhyaya 2, pada 4)
Sutra 33: Thathatsanavapiveditavyamityekeacharyavadanti.
"Some Acharyas say that all the results which have been ascribed to
planets and signs in the previous sutras [Adh. 2, pada 4] may also be
predicted with reference to Sani and his position".
MY NOTES:
I far as I have seen, nobody has ever given any kind of serious
consideration to the importance of this sutra. It is one of the very
last sutras in a chapter exclusively dealing with different Dasasystems including the Niryana Shoola Dasa.
I think this sutra is about transit Saturn, and I think Jaimini is
hinting at the possibility of using transit Saturn in connection to at
least one of the Dasa-Systems in particular mentioned in that chapter.
I believe the Niryana Shoola Dasa to be exactly that Dasa-system, and
I have got some very nice results from this.
Rules of judgment
When dealing with Niryana Shoola Dasa one has to be aware of a few
peculiar rules of Jaimini regarding the planets (and transit-Saturn)
and their relation to the 12 houses from the running Niryana Shoola
Dasa:
1) It either works in trines, meaning when the planet is 1st-5th-9th
from a given house.

This man was married and got his first child (a daughter) at the age
of 25 when Saturn was transitting in Libra.
Leo-Dasa
The person was born in the Gemini-Ascendant (odd sign) and counting
forewards the period of 9 years for each sign we get the running
Niryana Shoola Dasa at that time as Leo.
When people are being married or starting important relationships then
I have often observed transit Saturn being trinal (1st-5th-9th) from
either the 1st or the 7th house from the running Niryana Shoola Dasa.
Please observe that in this horoscope Saturn by transitting in Libra
is actually trinal from the 7th house of Aquarius.
Indications like this should however always be double-checked by other
methods such as Chara Dasa and its sub-periods or combined Sthira Dasa
and Navamsa Dasa. Also please remember never to go against the
indication of the natal chart. If it is clearly the chart of a
