DASHA PLANETARY PERIODS (DASHA-06 · CLASSICAL CODEX)Antardasha, Pratyantardasha & Sookshma Timing (Antardaśā, Pratyantardaśā & Sūkṣma)
In classical Sanskrit horoscopy, Antardasha, Pratyantardasha & Sookshma Timing (Antardaśā, Pratyantardaśā & Sūkṣma — Proportional Sub-Period Mathematics, Dasha Pravesha & Gochara Triggers) governs Multi-Tier Recursive Chronology, Sub-Lord Geometry & Transit Synchronization. Within the vectorized reference corpus (jyotish_corpus_core_v3), the doctrinal cluster of Antardasha, Pratyantardasha & Sookshma Timing (DASHA-06) is cross-indexed across 1,516 verified passages and 897 numbered shlokas in 16 Sanskrit treatises.
DASHA-06)Codified in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapters 52–60 & Phaladeepika Chapter 20 and Sarvartha Chintamani Chapter 16 & Hora Ratnam, Antardasha, Pratyantardasha & Sookshma Timing operates under the mathematical invariant T_sub = (T_parent × T_lord) / 120 ; Shadashtaka (6/8) & Dwirdwadasha (2/12) Axes: Within the 120-year Vimshottari structure, every sub-period duration is computed by multiplying the parent period length by the sub-lord's Mahadasha years and dividing by 120: Antardasha = (M × A) / 120 years, Pratyantardasha = (M × A × P) / 14,400 years, and Sookshma Dasha = (M × A × P × S) / 1,728,000 years.
SHASTRIC MECHANICSMathematical Formulation & Structural Rules of Antardasha, Pratyantardasha & Sookshma Timing
Classical texts evaluate sub-period quality both by the natural beneficence of the Antardasha lord, but by its geometric vector measured from the Mahadasha lord (Dasha Lagna): when the Antardasha lord occupies the fifth, ninth, fourth, seventh, or tenth house from the Mahadasha lord and shares temporal friendship (Tatkalika Maitri), it delivers constructive fruition. Conversely, when the Mahadasha and Antardasha lords stand in mutual 6/8 (Shadashtaka) or 2/12 (Dwirdwadasha) positions without Raja Yoga linkage, friction ensues—even between two natural benefics such as Jupiter and Venus.
The structural matrix below details the exact computational parameters, degree thresholds, and classical interpretive clauses for Antardasha, Pratyantardasha & Sookshma Timing (DASHA-06) as preserved in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapters 52–60 & Phaladeepika Chapter 20.
| Chronological Tier | Proportional Formula (120y Base) | Duration Span (Min – Max) | Classical Geometric Rule (BPHS Chapter 52) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mahadasha (Dasha Pati) | M_years (6y Sun to 20y Venus) |
6.00 Years – 20.00 Years |
Sets the overarching house, Nakshatra dispositor, and Varga dignity ceiling in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
| Antardasha (Bhukti Pati) | (M × A) / 120 Years (or M × A × 3 Days) |
3m 18d (Sun-Sun) – 3y 4m 0d (Ven-Ven) |
Evaluated both from Janma Lagna and from Mahadasha Lord as temporary Ascendant in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
Pratyantardasha (PD) |
(Bhukti_days × P) / 120 Days |
5.4 Days (Sun-Sun-Sun) – 200 Days (Ven-Ven-Ven) |
Delivers the physical manifestation when supported by transit bindus >= 4 in BAV in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
| Shadashtaka (6/8) Filter | Distance between |
Applies across all 9 × 9 = 81 Bhukti Pairs |
6/8 and 2/12 sub-periods demand remedial discipline unless cancelled by Viparita or Raja Yoga in classical Jyotish horoscopy. |
