Dasha related dictum from Uttara Kālamṛta

 The verse from Uttara Kālamṛta is: Dasha related

"वद्भेशा स्थितभाशंषा बलयुताश्चेत्तद्भपो लाभकृत्,
यस्यांशर्क्षगतो बली हित खगः सौभ्योऽपि तस्यार्थदः ॥"

वद्भेशाVadbheṣā – the lord of the Dasha (current planetary period).

स्थितभाशंषाSthita-bhā-śaṁṣā – and the lord of the Bhava (house) where the Dasha lord is placed.

बलयुताश्चेत्Balayutāś cet – if both are strong (endowed with strength),

तद्भपो लाभकृत्Tad-bhapo lābha-kṛt – then the lord of that Bhava (where Dasha lord is) gives gain (acts like 11th lord).

यस्यांशर्क्षगतो बली हित खगःYasya aṁśa-rkṣa-gato balī hita-khagaḥ – a planet (Khaga) that is strong and well-disposed (benefic) and placed in a sign or division (rāśi, navāmśa, etc.) of a certain planet (e.g., the Dasha lord),

सौभ्योऽपि तस्यार्थदःSaubhyopi tasyārthadaḥ – even a friendly planet (Saubhyaḥ – friend) placed there becomes a giver of wealth (arthadaḥ) to the Dasha lord (or native).

 

 

 

Explanation:

If the Dasha lord (वद्भेशा) and the lord of the house where this Dasha lord is placed (स्थितभाशंषा) are both strong, then the house lord (i.e., lord of the house where the Dasha lord is sitting) will act like the 11th lord and give gains and profits during the Dasha.

Additionally, if a benefic or friendly planet is strong and is placed in the sign (or amsa, etc.) of such a planet, then it too can give wealth and gains.

Example for Better Understanding:

Suppose:

Dasha Lord is Saturn, placed in Taurus (4th house).

The lord of Taurus is Venus, a friend of Saturn.

Let’s say both Saturn and Venus are strong.

Then: As per the shloka: Since the Dasha lord (Saturn) and the lord of the house it sits in (Venus) are strong, Venus will act like the 11th lord — i.e., give gains in Saturn’s Dasha.

Further, if Mercury (a natural friend of both Saturn and Venus) is strong and placed in the sign or amsa of Saturn or Venus, then Mercury too becomes a giver of wealth during Saturn’s Dasha.

 

Summary of the Verse with Corrected Logic:

If a planet’s Dasha is running, and that planet sits in a house whose lord is strong, and both the Dasha lord and house lord are strong, then the house lord behaves like an 11th lord, giving profits, gains, and wealth.

Additionally, any strong, friendly, or well-disposed planet placed in the sign/division of such a strong planet also gives gains, even if it is not the 11th lord.

Key Takeaway (in simple words):

When both the Dasha lord and the lord of the house it's placed in are strong, the house lord brings wealth and gain. Also, strong, friendly or benefic planets that are in their signs or divisions help bring prosperity, even if they are not directly related to the 11th house.
