Mantreswara, Phaladeepika, V. Subrahmanya Sastri translation
Definition
Phaladeepika is an astrological source represented here through cited material on Jyotish, ashtakavarga, dasha, exaltation, and textual variant.

What this work covers
The cited material covers Jyotish, ashtakavarga, dasha, exaltation, and textual variant.
Ashtakavarga evaluates a transit relative not only to the natal Moon but to the ascendant and all seven planets, forming an eight-reference frame in which contributor-relative support is accumulated.
Trikona reduction is performed across each four triplicity groups before Ekadhipatya reduction compares the two signs of a common ruler; the commentary preserves competing reduction variants instead of presenting them as identical.
Bhava bala is composed by adding a base unit to the bhava lord's strength and then adding the house's directional and aspectual strength, with occupation or aspect by its lord or specified benefics counted as further testimony.
