a way to tinker with Jyotisha related concepts. It is presented to the public on the auspicious occasion of
Vishu 2005 (pArthiva) in the hope that it will furthur Jyotisha related research. This entire work is © Ajit

Varga Longitude Extrapolation

Extrapolate planetary positions based on offset within a varga division. Extrapolating lontigutdes from a
horoscope’s navamsa positions, and taking the dvadasamsa of this extrapolated chart gives the standard D-
108 Ashtottaramsa chart! This feature effectively allows you to find divisional charts of divisional charts.
The traditional use of D-108 (navamsa-dwadasamsa) and D-144 (dwadasamsa-dwadasamsa) gives support
to this technique.

Custom Dasa Lengths and Compression

Swearing-in charts: Set the Param Ayus to 4/5 years as appropriate

Days: Set the Param Ayus to n days of length 1 day to compress the dasa to a few days

Dasa Options

Change the parameters affecting the calculation, or change the net results (order and length of dasas)…and
still be able to subdivide the dasas as if the computer had generated these values. For example, this allows
you to change the narayana dasa lengths freely.
