What is Shattrimshat Sama Dasa used for?

Shattrimshat Sama provides a 36-year planetary timing framework selected by a specific birth-chart condition: Day birth with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or night birth with Lagna in Moon's Hora. In a traditional reading, this condition is the reason to choose this system for examining events across the person’s life. Its period dates are read together with the planets and houses in the birth chart.

Your result shows calculated time periods. Understanding what happens within a period requires the rest of the birth chart; this page does not generate a new personal prediction.

How Shattrimshat Sama Dasa is calculated

Sravana is the implemented seed constellation. The selected lord is determined by the system count and the remaining opening interval by the elapsed seed fraction.

Follow the calculation step by step

Calculate the natal positions from the person’s birth time and place, using the selected Ayanamsa. Check applicability: Day birth with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or night birth with Lagna in Moon's Hora
Opening balance = selected lord’s full allotment × (remaining arc of the starting nakshatra / 13°20′). For Moon-started systems use the Moon’s longitude; Tara uses the Ascendant, and explicit Vimshottari starts use their selected reference. A partly elapsed opening period must not be restarted at its full length.
Eight lords receive one through eight years. DasaForLife returns this system-defined life; a date beyond its end needs another system rather than an assumed extra repetition.
For these planetary methods, proportional subdivision uses the full, untrimmed parent duration × child-lord years / cycle years. Clip the opening result at birth only after establishing the underlying boundaries. Use the documented system order: Ashtottari and Tithi Ashtottari run in reverse, while Tara’s children use Vimshottari order. Repeat only to the requested depth.
Convert the resulting year fractions to dates using the reported year convention. This system defaults to TrueSiderealSolar. A sidereal solar year measures a full sidereal revolution of the Sun; a fixed 360-day year and a mean tropical year are different clocks. Published approximate month/day arithmetic can differ from exact solar-motion boundaries.

Read each result from its inclusive start to its exclusive end. The schedule is clipped to the supported span; its length is not a prediction of lifespan. Use the live date query for fine detail and the life timeline for an overview.

History and traditional context

Chapter 15’s thirty-six-year scheme uses eight durations increasing from one to eight years. Rath distinguishes it from Yogini and connects its Hora condition with Mercury, wealth and, more broadly, sustenance.

When and how to use it

Check the combination of day/night birth and Ascendant Hora. Use it as a supporting chronology for livelihood and maintenance when the chart supports that focus. Its thirty-six-year calculation span is not a person’s predicted lifespan; this API does not promise results beyond the returned span.

An example from the book

Chart 43 calculates Ishwar Singh’s opening Moon period from 9°52′ remaining in Krittika: (9°52′ / 13°20′) × 1 year = 0.74 years. The book contrasts its approximate manual date with its exact solar-motion table. It is a useful lesson in why matching the arithmetic does not guarantee identical timestamps.

Paraphrased from Sanjay Rath, Vimsottari & Udu Dasas (2005). Interpretive and biographical claims are the author’s account, not independent verification or a new prediction from this calculator.

36-year cycleMajor periods and subperiods

Traditional applicability

Day birth with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or night birth with Lagna in Moon's Hora

Your result will tell you whether this person meets the traditional selection conditions. You can still explore the periods when the conditions are not met.

Starting rule, durations and settings

Starting reference and balance

Sravana is the implemented seed constellation. The selected lord is determined by the system count and the remaining opening interval by the elapsed seed fraction.

Lord sequence and full allotments

Lord	Full years
Moon	1
Sun	2
Jupiter	3
Mars	4
Mercury	5
Saturn	6
Venus	7
Rahu	8

Eight lords receive one through eight years. DasaForLife returns this system-defined life; a date beyond its end needs another system rather than an assumed extra repetition.

Calculation settings

No additional system-specific option is required for the default calculation. The response reports the convention actually used. A system’s full cycle is not a prediction of a person’s lifespan.

Use Shattrimshat Sama with an AI assistant

Connect an MCP-compatible assistant to the free public MCP endpoint https://mcp.vedastro.org/api/mcp/public. Follow the MCP connection guide, initialize the MCP session, list the available tools, and call either tool below with system: "ShattrimshatSama".

Replace the sample with the user’s actual birth location, local birth date (DD/MM/YYYY) and time (HH:MM, 24-hour). No saved-person ID or website account is required by these tools. Never invent missing birth details. The server resolves coordinates and date-specific offsets. Inspection times are local to the birth location, not the browser timezone.

The date tool defaults to levels 3 and midday; the life tool defaults to level 1. Both use Raman Ayanamsa. Moola requires level 1. Deep whole-life expansions can be very large: prefer a date query for fine detail. Read raw_dasa.DasaAtTime or raw_dasa.DasaForLife; check IsApplicable, ApplicabilityReason and YearConvention. Intervals include Start and exclude End. Life periods use response-local Id/ParentId; keep Sudarsana tracks separate. These are calculation results, not generated predictions.

A recorded Shattrimshat Sama example

Birth: 14:20 16/10/1918 +05:30, Bangalore (longitude 77.5833, latitude 12.9667), Raman Ayanamsa. The following are the first 4 major periods from the actual recorded response.

Resolved method: Shattrimshat Sama. Day birth with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or night birth with Lagna in Moon's Hora

Lord	Start	End (exclusive)
Jupiter	1918-10-16T14:20:00+05:30	1920-10-06T10:49:49.1829993+05:30

Understand the responsePeriod fields, hierarchy and timestamps

04 / FROM JSON TO UI

One period model. No interpretation.

DasaForLife returns a single chronological Periods array. Each level defined by the system is present, up to the requested depth. Filter by Level to draw bands, or follow ParentId to build a tree.

Flat timeline

Level 1 = Mahadasa, 2 = Bhukti, 3 = Antaram, through level 8.

// Node.js
const bhuktis = result.Periods.filter(p => p.Level === 2);

Nested display

Ids are local to this response. A root has no parent; a child references its enclosing period.

Id 1 · Rahu · Level 1
├─ Id 2 · Saturn · ParentId 1
└─ Id 3 · Mercury · ParentId 1

Dasa period response fields
Field	How to use it
`Id / ParentId`	Response-local integer id and nullable parent id. Build relationships within this result; do not store them as permanent identifiers.
`Level`	Subdivision depth, 1–8. Systems that define no subperiods return level 1 only.
`Lord`	`{ Kind, Name }`. Kind is `Planet` or `Sign`; planetary systems and rasi systems share one shape.
`Start / End`	ISO timestamps with offset. Half-open intervals: [Start, End). The first period starts at birth; its natural beginning may be earlier.
`Track`	Null for single-track systems. Sudarsana returns three tracks: Lagna, Moon and Sun.

Metadata explains the calculation: System, Method, MethodReason, YearConvention, LifeSpanYears, IsApplicable, ApplicabilityReason and display-only Notes.

Point snapshots

DasaAtTime returns Levels with Level, Type, Lord, Start and End for the chain running at at.

Separate clocks

Ayanamsa sets zodiac positions. DasaOptions.YearConvention sets duration. Janma defaults to 360-day years; Chara and Kalachakra use mean tropical years; other selections use true sidereal solar motion.

API reference & advanced discoverySignatures, parameters and CheckDasaSystemApplicability

05 / API REFERENCE

Small methods. Explicit choices.

Signatures below use API wire names and server defaults. Python and Node.js retain PascalCase method names; Dart and Java use lowerCamelCase; Go retains PascalCase with a context first and an optional options struct.

DasaForLife

DasaForLife(birthTime, system = Vimshottari, depth = 3, options = null)

The whole system-defined life as one chronological Periods array.

Open example →

DasaAtTime

DasaAtTime(birthTime, at, system = Vimshottari, depth = 3, options = null)

The running chain at one moment, with the start and end of every level.

Open example →

CheckDasaSystemApplicability

CheckDasaSystemApplicability(birthTime)

Advanced discovery: every supported system, whether it applies to this chart, why, its life span and whether it defines subperiods.

Open example →

Parameters

Parameter	Required / default	Meaning
`birthTime`	Required	Time and birth location.
`at`	Required for DasaAtTime	Moment to inspect; must be inside the system's life.
`system`	Vimshottari	One of the 24 forms. Explicit choices are never silently replaced.
`depth`	3	Integer 1–8. Start with 1 or 2 for long spans.
`options`	null	`YearConvention`, plus Kalachakra, Shoola or Narayana Sama settings only for those systems.

Events charts use a separate path

LifePredictor and Events APIs keep their sampled time-slice evaluation. Dasa calls return raw periods and no interpretation; use the API builder for event/chart calls.

Questions about Shattrimshat Sama

When should I choose Shattrimshat Sama?

Day birth with Lagna in Sun's Hora, or night birth with Lagna in Moon's Hora

How is the first period selected?

Sravana is the implemented seed constellation. The selected lord is determined by the system count and the remaining opening interval by the elapsed seed fraction.

Can I request every subdivision?

Request depth 1–8; the response includes only levels defined by this system. Use a date query for deep detail without generating a whole-life expansion.

Which clock and options does this system use?

The default is TrueSiderealSolar. Ayanamsa controls zodiac positions, while DasaOptions.YearConvention controls durations. No additional system-specific option is required for the default calculation.
