“The Ruling Deities Of Dashmansh” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

(1) Rishi Parashar in his Shodashvarga Scheme allots presiding Vedic Devta to every division in every Divisional Chart except Rashi Chart i.e. from Hora Chart (D2) to Shyastamansh Chart (D60). For example in Hora Chart the 00⁰ to 15⁰ of any sign comes under the divine ruler ship of Devas and from 15⁰ to 30⁰ comes under the ruler ship of Pitra. The planets occupying 00⁰ to 15⁰ of any sign have the influence of Deva and those occupying 15⁰ to 30⁰ come under the influence of Pitra. In Drashkan Chart (D3) the planets occupying 00⁰ to 10⁰ of any sign come under the divine ruler ship of rishi Narada, from 10⁰ to 20⁰ of any sign come under the divine ruler ship of Rishi Agasti and from 20⁰ to 30⁰ under the ruler ship of rishi Durvasa.

(2) In Brihit Prashara Hora Shaastra the great rishi only speaks about the use of Shyasthansh (D60) Devta and about the influence of the Devta of other Varga (Divisional Charts) for predictive purposes he (rishi Parashara) left it for the spiritual understandings of an astrologer    

(3) The concept of Devta of any divisional chart is too difficult for a beginner to understand. Here scientific approach to understand Vedic Jyotish in terms of Planets fails completely and spiritual approach needs to be developed to understand it. In other words it is the spiritual portion of Vedic Jyotish that can be understood by the astrologers having spiritual and karmic approaches.  

(4) An astrologer well versed in Vedas, Upnishadas, Purana, Ramayana and Mahabharta etc only can understand the use of such Devta with his spiritual approach in predictive purposes.

(5) Several years ago I saw the horoscope of an engineer in his horoscope Mercury in 5th house in Dhanu Rashi was under the influence of Shyasthansh (D60) Devta Deva Ganesha and I at once declared his devotion towards Ganesha and he accepted that with a big surprise. In fact to develop my professional approach in those years I was too devoting Shri Ganesh with a specific Mantra (I am not giving that Ganesha mantra here) and at that moment Parmatma Ganesha blessed me insight to use the concept of Devta for predictive purposes. That engineer also made the software of several Indian indoor games. It was from that incident I got the divine insight about the use of Devta of Divisional Charts. I am sure every research minded astrologer with spiritual and Karmic approach will understand it.

(6) In this article I shall share about the ruling Vedic Devta in Dashmansh Chart (D10) theoretically and that will give necessary insights to research minded astrologers having spiritual approaches.

(7) One Dashmansh is the 10th part of 30⁰ i.e. 3⁰ and there are 10 Dashmansh in a sign and 12 × 10 = 120 Dashmansh in a Zodiac.

(8) In any sign:
00⁰ to 03⁰ - First Dashmansh
03⁰ to 06⁰ - Second Dashmansh
06⁰ to 09⁰ - Third Dashmansh
09⁰ to 12⁰ - Forth Dashmansh
12⁰ to15⁰ - Fifth Dashmansh
15⁰ to 18⁰ - Sixth Dashmansh
18⁰ to 21⁰ - Seventh Drashmansh
21⁰ to 24⁰ - Eighth Dashmansh
24⁰ to 27⁰ - Ninth Dashmansh
27⁰ to 30⁰ - Tenth Dashmansh

(9)The counting of Dashmansh in Odd signs is from the sign itself. For example in Mesh Rashi Planets occupying first Dashmansh occupy the first  Dashmansh of Mesh Rashi, in second Dashmansh occupy Vrish Rashi, third Dashmansh occupy Mithuna Rashi, forth Dashmansh occupy Kark Rashi, fifth Dashmansh occupy Simh Rashi, sixth Dashmansh occupy Kanya Rashi, seventh Dashmansh occupy Tula Rashi, eighth Dashmansh occupy Vrischika Rashi, ninth Dashmansh occupy Dhanur Rashi and 10th Dashmansh occupy Makra Rashi. For Mithuna Rashi this counting should be started from Mithuna as first Dashmansh, Kark as second Dashmansh and so on. The counting of Dashmansh for other odd Signs should be done in similar way.

(9.1)The counting of Dashmansh in Even sign is from 9th sign from any even sign. For Example in Meen Rashi the first Dashmansh is the 9th sign from it i.e. Vrischika Rashi and Planets occupying first Dashmansh of Meen will be in the Dashmansh of Vrischika Rashi, second Dashmansh occupy Dhanur Rashi, in third Dashmansh occupy Makar Rashi and so on. In Vrish Rashi the even sign the Dashmansh counting starts from 9th sign from it i.e. Makar Rashi. Similar counting should be made for other even signs like Kark, Kanya, Vrischika and Makar.

(10) The following two Sanskrit Shloka is from Brihit Prashara Hora Shaastra:

दिगंशया ततश्चौजे युग्मे तन्नवमाद्वदेत।
पूर्वादिदशदिक्पाला इंद्राग्नियमराक्षसाः॥६३॥
[Dignshya Tatshchoje Yugme Tannvmaadvadet
Purvaadidikpaala Indraagniraakshaa63]

वरुणोमारुतश्चैव कुबेरेशानपद्मजाः।
अनन्तश्च क्रमादोजे समे वा व्युत्क्रमेण तु॥६४॥
[Varunomaarutscheiv Kubereshaanpadamjaa
Anantsch Kramadoje Sme Vaa Vyutkramena Tu64

(10.1) The aforesaid two Sanskrit Shloka are written in almost typical Sanskrit with Sandhi in various words. For the benefits of all the research minded astrologers I am translating both of the Sanskrit Shloka by giving necessary Vicchada of Sanskrit words in forthcoming paragraphs:

(10.2) दिगंशया (Dignshya) = दिक् + अंशया (Dik + Anshya): here Dik means Directions and they are ten in numbers and Ansh stands for the parts so Digansh becomes the 10th part and here it stands for the 10th part of a sign of 30⁰ in other words 30⁰÷ 10⁰ = 3⁰ and this is the value of each Dashmansh. 

(10.3) ततश्चौजे (Tatshchoje)  = तत्(Tata) + च्(Ch) +ओजे(Oje): From there count from the sign itself in case of Oja Rashi. The Oja Rashi are all the Odd signs such as Mesh, Mithuna, Simh, Tula, Dhanur & Kumbh.

(10.4) युग्मे तन्नवमाद्वदेत (Yugme Tannvmaadvadet) = युग्मे (Yugme means Even signs), तत् (Tata) + नवमात् (Navmaat means from 9th sign) + वदेत् (Vadet means should say) and it reflects that in case of Even signs the Dashmansh Counting should be said to start from 9th sign from that even sign.

(10.5) पूर्वादिदशदिक्पाला (Purvaadidikpaala): पूर्व (Poorv means East) + आदि (Aadi means starting from)  +दश (Dash means Ten) +दिक्पाला (Dikpaala means Great Vedic defenders of Directions). It reflects that starting from the east the ten great defenders of directions are…….

(10.6) इंद्राग्नियमराक्षसाः (Indraagniyamraakshaa) = (१)इंद्र ( (1)Indra or King of Swarga) + (२)अग्नि ((2)Agni or fire) + (३) यम ((3) Yama means God of Death) + (४)राक्षस ((4)Raaksh or Devil)……

(10.7) वरुणोमारुतश्चैव (Varunomaarutscheiv) कुबेरेशानपद्मजाः(Kubereshaanpadamjaa) अनन्तश्च (Anantsch): (५) वरुण ((5) Varuna or God of water) + (६) मारुत ((6) Marut or God of wind) + च् (Ch means and), (७) कुबेर ((7) Kubera or God of wealth) (८) ईशान ((8) Ishana as per Purana Ishana is Shiva) (९) पद्मज​ ((9) Padmaj it indicates a God who appeared from Lotus means Bhrama the creator), (१०) अनन्त (Anant or endless means Vishnu)

(10.8) Summing up what has been written under (10.6) & (10.7) Ten great defenders starting from the east direction are (1) Indra, (2) Agni, (3) Yama, (4)Raaksha, (5) Varuna, (6) Maruta, (7) Kubera, (8) Ishana, (9) Padmaj & (10) Ananta.

(10.9) क्रमादोजे (Kramadoje) = क्रमात (Sequence) +ओजे (Odd Signs) it reflects that the sequence of Devta as written under (10.8) is the ruling Devta from eastern direction onwards when counting of Dashmansh is from Odd signs.

(10.10) समे वा व्युत्क्रमेण तु (Sme Vaa Vyutkramena Tu): समे (Sme means Even signs), व्युत्क्रमेण (Vyutkramena means reverse order). It reflects in case when counting of Dashmansh is done for Even Signs like Vrish, Kark, Kanya, Vrischika, Makar or Meen the order of presiding Devta will be reversed i.e. it becomes from Ananta to Indra.


(10.11) You can understand about the presiding Devta of Dashmansh through the following figure:


(11) Now for the benefits of all of you I am also giving the ten directions
(11.1) Purva (East) and its Dikpal is Indra
(11.2) Aagney (South East) its Dikpal is Agni
(11.3) Dakshin (South) its Dikpal is Yama
(11.4) Nairiti (South West) its Dikpal is Raaksha
(11.5) Paschim (West) its Dikpala is Varuna
(11.6) Vaayavya (North West) its Dikpal is Maruta
(11.7) Uttar (North) its Dikpal is Kubera
(11.8)Eshanya (North East) its Dikpal is Ishana or Shiva
(11.9) Urdhva (Upper Space) its Dikpal is Padmaj or Bhrama
(11.10) Adha (Lower Space) its Dikpal is Ananta or Vishnu.

(12) The functioning of these Ten Devta of Dashmansh is written in Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayana and Mahabharata. Its only astrologers spiritual approach which works while he predicts by including these Devta.

(13) This Dashmansh Chart still has a very fertile field of research

(14) I want to make this article theoretical and that is why I am not quoting any practical case concerning this. Disclosing the secrets of functioning of a Devta (Deity) through Jyotish is not so much favored by ancient Rishi of India.

(15) A question may come to your mind that why Raaksha was given the status of Devta in Dashmansh Chart. For your benefits I am giving you its reasoning. There are eight Deva Yonis or categories of Devas as described in Puranas such as (1) Deva, (2) Daanava, (3) Gandherva, (4) Yaksha, (5)Raaksha, (6) Naaga, (7) Bhoota, and (8) Vidyadhara. The Raaksha also comes under Deva so the King of Raaksha the Nairity Deva was also given the status of Deva in Purana. The abode of these Dev Yoni is described in Vyoma (Sky) so they do not exist on earth as other creatures exist but they influence the earth by their powers and keep the controlling of earth according to their characters as described in various Purana.
