What is Tithi Ashtottari Dasa used for?

Tithi Ashtottari is a lunar-day-based timing system used in the cited tradition for natal and annual charts. It starts from the tithi rather than the birth nakshatra. For an annual chart, supply the intended annual-chart anchor; a natal birth chart is not automatically converted into an annual 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 Tithi Ashtottari Dasa is calculated

The birth tithi and its elapsed fraction select and balance the first lord. Both pakshas retain their ownership tables, with Saturn at Purnima and Rahu at Amavasya.

Follow the calculation step by step

Calculate the natal positions from the person’s birth time and place, using the selected Ayanamsa. Check applicability: Universally applicable in Rath's account, including annual charts.
Find the tithi from the Moon–Sun angular separation: each tithi covers 12°. Its ownership table selects the lord. Opening balance = that lord’s full years × the fraction of the tithi remaining. A tithi starting reference does not require using tithi-based years for the later durations.
The 108-year allotments and reverse subdivisions follow Ashtottari. A tithi seed does not mean the duration convention is automatically Tithi: read YearConvention separately.
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

Section 7.5 adapts Ashtottari to the lunar day, or tithi, and discusses its use with Tithi Pravesh annual charts. This is a different starting reference from the Moon’s natal nakshatra, not simply a different label for ordinary Ashtottari.

When and how to use it

Choose natal or annual use deliberately. For annual work, calculate the intended return-chart anchor separately and supply it as the chart time; selecting this Dasa does not construct the return chart. Read period lords with that chart and keep the tithi seed separate from the duration-year convention.

An example from the book

Table 38 applies Tithi Ashtottari to the traditional Sri Krishna chart, beginning with a remaining Rahu period and then Venus. The ancient dates belong to the author’s traditional illustration, not an independently established birth record. Use it to study the ownership sequence rather than to validate a modern API timestamp.

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.

Traditional applicability

Universally applicable in Rath's account, including annual charts.

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

The birth tithi and its elapsed fraction select and balance the first lord. Both pakshas retain their ownership tables, with Saturn at Purnima and Rahu at Amavasya.

Lord sequence and full allotments

Lord	Full years
Sun	6
Moon	15
Mars	8
Mercury	17
Saturn	10
Jupiter	19
Rahu	12
Venus	21

The 108-year allotments and reverse subdivisions follow Ashtottari. A tithi seed does not mean the duration convention is automatically Tithi: read YearConvention separately.

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 Tithi Ashtottari 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: "TithiAshtottari".

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 Tithi Ashtottari 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: Tithi Ashtottari. Birth tithi selects the starting lord and balance, with Ashtottari's reversed subperiods (Rath 7.5).

Lord	Start	End (exclusive)
Mars	1918-10-16T14:20:00+05:30	1919-12-01T03:37:56.4052317+05:30
Mercury	1919-12-01T03:37:56.4052317+05:30	1936-11-30T12:22:09.2877654+05:30
Saturn	1936-11-30T12:22:09.2877654+05:30	1946-12-01T01:43:36.3367098+05:30
Jupiter	1946-12-01T01:43:36.3367098+05:30	1965-11-30T22:45:17.3911235+05:30

Sample applicability: conditions met. Universally applicable in Rath's account, including annual charts.

Sources and calculation limitsRath section 7.5, Tables 38–39

These rules follow the cited Rath sections and the implementation audit. Worked calculations demonstrate what this API returns; they do not establish predictive accuracy. The audit distinguishes exact solar-motion dates from approximate printed year/month/day arithmetic.

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 Tithi Ashtottari

When should I choose Tithi Ashtottari?

Universally applicable in Rath's account, including annual charts.

How is the first period selected?

The birth tithi and its elapsed fraction select and balance the first lord. Both pakshas retain their ownership tables, with Saturn at Purnima and Rahu at Amavasya.

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.
