Special Nakshatra Dasas

The conditional Dasas described in this section are special Nakshatra Dasas.

These Dasas have conditions for their applicability. So they are only applicable to specific charts.

Some of the conditions are quite restrictive, so the condition for Panchottari Dasa: Lagna and Dvadasamsa Lagna must be in Cancer, this condition matches only for 1/144 of the charts. Other conditions are not so restrictive.

The conditional Dasas are exposed in Parasara Hora Shastra.

Conditions

The table below gives the hints for applicability.
