Dwara & Bahya

in Jaimini Dasas
By
Iranganti Kalyan
Raghavan, India.

he
editor
of
Saptarishis
Astrology wanted my revered
father,
Sriman
Iranganti
Ranga Charya to write on Dwara &
Bahya for Saptarishis. But in view
of my fathers minor indisposition,
my father asked me to prepare a
write-up on it under his guidance.

Kalyan

Raghavan is the son

of the famous astrologer &

scholar Iranganti Rangacharya.
Kalyan a shy introvert person is
a software professional based in
Hyderabad who has been
learning Jaimini astrology from
his father from a very young
age. This is his debutant article
for any magazine and it is
expected that he writes 100s of
articles in Jaimini astrology with
the grace of his guru and father
Shri Iranganti Rangacharya.

Let me first do Padabhivandanam

to my father from whom I have
been learning astrology, and begin
this write-up as follows:
The concept of Dwara-Bahya is
found in the Jaimini Sutras.

1 --

maline dvra bhye nave nidhana

dvra dvreayoca mlinye 2-1-27

2--

daraye dvra tatastavatibha

bhyam 2-4-2

So the rule of dwara-bahya is of

use in not only Ayurdasas but also
in phalitha dasas.

Reckoning of Dwara-Bahya in
the ayur dasas like Hora dasa,
Atmanadi dasa etc:

The dasa sign (in Hora dasa or

Atmanadi dasa etc) which begins is
the Dwara and is
also the Bahya, the 2nd dasa sign is the dwara and its bahya is the 3rd sign,
the 3rd
dasa sign is the Dwara and its Bahya is the 5th, the 4th dasa sign is the
Dwara, and its Bahya is the 7th, the 5th dasa sign is the Dwara and its
Bahya is the 9th, the 6th dasa sign is the Dwara, its Bahya is 11th. The same
are the Bahya signs for the rest of the six Dwara dasa signs.
If the dasa sign which begins is even, the dasa signs run reversely and the
Bahya count is reverse.
But a typical Dwara-Bahya count is recommended by Vriddhas to some
phalitha dasas which have padakrama order.

tadida caraparyya sthiraparyya dvayo trikoakhya day ca pka bhoga

prakalpana

Padakrama Order:
Chara

If the dasasign which begins is cardinal (chara) and odd, the dasasigns
succeed regularly and directly, if it is cardinal and even, the dasasigns
succeed reversely.
For example Aries begins, so the dasa signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini,
Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces
and the Bahya signs are Aries(1), Gemini(3), Leo(5), Libra(7), Sagittarius(9),
Aquarius(11), Aries(1), Gemini(3), Leo (5), Libra (7), Sagittarius (9), Aquarius
(11) respectively.

Sthira
If the dasa sign which begins is fixed and odd, the dasa signs run in the
order of every 6th in the direct order. For example the dasa sign that
begins is Leo. The dasa signs are Leo, Capricorn, Gemini, Scorpio, Aries,
Virgo, Aquarius, Cancer, Sagittarius, Taurus, Libra, Pisces. Correspondingly
the Bahya dasa signs are Leo (1), Gemini (11), Aries (9), Aquarius (7),
Sagittarius (5), Libra (3), Leo (1), Gemini (11), Aries (9), Aquarius (7)
Sagittarius (5), Libra (3).
If the dasasign is fixed and even, the dasa signs run reversely in the order
of every 6th and the Bahya signs run reversely in the order of 1, 11, 9, 7,
5, 3, 1, 11, 9, 7, 5, 3 dasasigns.

Dual

 If the dasa sign that begins is a dual sign, the order of the dasa signs is 1,
5, 9 and if even it is reversely in the order of 1, 5, 9. The Bahya signs are
1, 9, 6, 3, 11, 8, 1, 9, 6, 3, 11, and 8.

Let us see some examples on how to use this concept.

Chara Dasa (method-1 in Jaimini Sutramritam, page 263)

Chart 1: Birth Ascendant is Gemini (dual sign). So Charadasa begins from
the birth ascendant, Gemini. The dasa signs are Gemini, Libra, Aquarius,
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Leo, Sagittarius, Aries Virgo, Capricorn, and Taurus.

The padakrama order of the dasa signs and the Dwara-Bahya reckoning is
same in all the Phalitha dasas in the case of cardinal and fixed dasa signs
which begin. But in the case of Charaparyaya dasa, the order of the dasa
signs varies from the dual sign to begin. So the Bahya(bhoga) also varies.
Let me illustrate the point in the Chart-2 below
Chart 2: Date of Birth: 12-9-1980 at 7-25 am. Birth Ascdt =Virgo

Chara Paryaya dasa begins from the Ascendant, Virgo which is a dual sign.
Since it is even too the dasa signs run reversely. The dasa signs from Virgo
are Virgo, Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio, Cancer,
Aries, Capricorn, Libra. The Bahya signs are respectively Virgo (1), Pisces (7),
Virgo (1), Pisces (7), Cancer (3), Capricorn (9), Cancer (3), Capricorn (9),
Taurus (5), Scorpio (11), Taurus (5), and Scorpio (11).
Here let me cite a karika in respect of Dwara-Bahya (Paka-Bhoga) in general
in respect of Padakrama reckoning of the sign-dasas.

care tanu (1) ducikya (3) suta (5) asta (7) pit (9) lbhaga (11)
sthire lagna (1) aya (11) navama (9) jy (7) pacama (5) vikrama (3)
dvandvabhe tanu (1) dharma (9) ari (6) sahaja (3) upntya (11) radhrabha (8)
yugme vilomdojetu kramt syurbhya raya

In the case of Chara Paryaya dasa, the Dwara-Bahya reckoning differs from the dual
sign to begin as seen in the chart given above.
Similarly according to the order of the dasa signs of Sthira Paryaya dasa, the DwaraBahya dasa signs could be written. However the results depend more on the Bahya
dasa signs of the three phalitha dasas viz. Trikona, Chara Paryaya, Sthira Paryaya
Dasas.
