Frequently asked questions

What is a pratyantardasha?
It is the third and finest level of the Vimshottari dasha hierarchy: within a mahadasha (planet period) and its antardasha (sub-period), a pratyantardasha is the further subdivision ruled by a planet, with length = mahadasha years × (AD lord years ÷ 120) × (PD lord years ÷ 120), sequenced from the antardasha lord. It refines the timing of events down to months and days.
How are the lengths computed?
Proportionally, twice over: an antardasha is the mahadasha’s length scaled by the sub-lord’s share of 120; a pratyantar scales the antardasha the same way. Saturn MD (19y) × Saturn AD share (19/120) ≈ 3.0y; within it the Mercury PD is 3.0 × 17/120 ≈ 5.1 months.
What does a Saturn/Saturn/Mercury stack mean?
The mahadasha and antardasha lord coinciding (Saturn/Saturn) concentrates Saturn’s themes — structure, duty, slow building. A Mercury pratyantar inside it inflects those months toward paperwork, contracts, study and commerce. The actual verdict still comes from those planets’ condition in your chart.
How precise can third-level timing be?
Only as precise as the birth time: an hour’s error moves all dasha dates by roughly three weeks, which is the size of a pratyantar. With a well-recorded time the windows are meaningful; with a rounded time, read pratyantars as soft-edged months.
Is there a fourth level?
Yes — sookshma (days–weeks) and prana (hours–days) follow the same nesting. They demand near-exact birth times and are used for horary-grade work; for life planning, the mahadasha/antardasha/pratyantar triple shown here is the practical resolution.
