Chapter 13.
The Effects of Guru Dasha
In the Dasha of Guru one will be engaged in widely knowing the meanings of the four Vedas; one will be intent upon fulfilling the four Purusharthas (i.e. Dharm, Arth, Kama, Moksh), one will be the chief of men and one will be extremely intelligent.
During Guru Dasha, one will earn through education, worship of Gods, medicines and performing of yagya’s. Due to the effect of his birth, he will be blessed with the mercy of the king.
He will acquire horses and other conveyances, lands, clothes, wife and children; he will be in the company of good men, chief in his caste and he will get royal status.
He will minutely think before acting; he will be capable of knowing the past, present and future; he will be apt in doing wise acts and will suffer from diseases of the spleen, abscess etc. and also disease relating to the upper limbs of the body.
The foregoing results apply to Guru’s Dasha relating to his position in various Rāśis. Over and above, one should predict the results after assessing individual Rāśi positions of Guru.
When Guru is in Mesh, in such Dasha, one will lead a group of men, be wise, a king and one will have plenty of money.
Should Guru be in Vrishabh, in such Dasha, the native will be troubled by his enemies and will suffer a lot of grief. He will live in countries other than his own and his earnings will be by means of little enthusiasm.
When Guru is in Mithun in his Dasha, one will hate women, be wealthy and live through agriculture. He will hate his own relatives and will prove an evil to his mother. He will also become disabled in regard to some limb.
In the Dasha of the exalted Guru, the native will undertake a profession suitable to his birth; he will be endowed with kingdom, comforts and pleasure in an increasing manner and he will have a spotless name. He will also be wealthy.
In the Dasha of Guru, that has crossed his exaltation zone (i.e. in Kark itself), the native will always roam; he will have a wicked wife, his parents will be subjected to grief and the native will sell away all his ancestral properties.
Should the Dasha of Guru, who is in Simh, be ruling, the native will become a religious head and he will acquire wealth through the sovereign. Due to his singular qualities, he will get cattle, sons, wife etc.
During the Dasha of Guru in Kanya, there will be money through the king as well, as one’s own wife. He will have quarrels with Sudras (the fourth caste) etc. and he will be displaced. He will earn through cattle and increase his wealth. He will have education, clothes and conveyances.
In the Dasha of Guru in Tula, one’s enthusiasm will be reduced; he will destroy his own wife and children (i.e. he may not protect his wife and children); he will have severe ulcer and day by day his eating will dwindle.
During the Dasha of Guru in Vrischik one will be engaged in divine work; one will be wandering, enthusiastic, indebted in several ways and one will be interested in public and will be principled.
Should the Dasha of Guru place in its Multrikon Rāśi be in progress, one will be important in the public, a wise minister, a ruler of an area and acquire wealth through women and be happy.
Should the Dasha of Guru posited in Dhanu be ruling, one will get money through travels, be happy and be engaged in yagya’s; one will possess cows and one will gather money from husbandry.
In the Dasha of Guru in his (deep) debilitation zone, one will be grieved of his relatives, or vice versa, one will do other’s jobs, suffer from poverty and from diseases relating to belly, ears and private parts.
When the Dasha of Guru in Makar is in progress one will live in forests and gain through hunters. He will also live by agriculture and cheat Brahmins.
During the Dasha of Guru in Kumbh, the native will earn money by his own name and valour; he will be tale-teller, will live by mean professions, will hate his people and will incur loss of wealth.
During the Dasha of Guru posited in Meen, one will be principal among his men, will earn through education and religious discourses; he will be liked by women and be humble.
During the Dasha of Guru in Vargothama Navamsh, one will be worshipped by the public, acquire plenty of wealth and live in the company, or his wife and sons. He will have an emaciated physique.
In the Dasha of combust Guru, grief and happiness will be equal. When the Grah in question is in fall, or is placed in inimical Rāśis, one will, in such Dasha, lose children, wife and wealth and suffer from many diseases.
Thus ends the 13th Chapter entitled "The Effects of Guru Dasha" in Horashara of Prithuyasas, son of Varah Mihira.
