mitroccopacayatrikoṇamadane pākeśvarasya sthitaścandraḥ sat phala bodhanāni kurute pāpāni cāto'nyathā || 10||

When the lord of the results is situated in the lagna or a friendly (zodiac sign) or its varga, or when a benefic, or the lord of the results is in the 3rd, 10th, 6th, or 11th houses; the commenced dasha causes auspiciousness. The Moon situated in a friend’s, exalted, upachaya, trikona, or 7th house are those indicating auspicious results. And otherwise from this it creates evils.
