Ѳ岹ś (महादशा):—The first Mahā-Daśā is determined by the position of the natal Moon in a given Nakṣatra. The lord of the Nakṣatra governs the Daśā. Each Mahā-Dś is divided into sub-periods called bhuktis, or antar-岹śs, which are proportional divisions of the maha-dasa. Further proportional sub-divisions can be made (but error margin based on accuracy of the birth-time grows exponentially). The next sub-division is called pratyantar-岹ś, which can in turn be divided into sookshma-antardasa, which can in turn be divided into praana-Գٲ岹ś, which can be sub-divided into deha-Գٲ岹ś. Such sub-divisions also exist in all other Daśā systems, some of which have been named above.
