Grahas placed in the first six Rasis, counted from Surya, keep their faces downwards whilst those in the remaining six Rasis keep their faces upwards. The latter are capable of yielding good results.

The Dasha of Mangal will yield results in a medium way, as though in exaltation, notwithstanding him having his face downwards, or upwards, or his being in retrograde motion, or Anuvakr (progressive). Results should be predicted after knowing whether Grah is Vakr, or Anuvakr. For the five Grahas from Mangal to Sani (i.e. the starry Grahas) such evaluations should be made.

In the Dasha of Mangal, the earning will be through fire, lands, conveyances, medicines, indulging in lies, cheating and carrying out various cruel activities. The person will suffer from bilious diseases, bloody defects and fever. He will serve a mean lady and be deserted by his sons, wife, relatives and preceptors. He will have his eyes on the wealth of others.

If Mangal is in his Multrikon Bhava, in his Dasha, the native will maintain to be in his caste and will acquire wife, children and wealth. He will become valorous, fond of sexual acts and intelligent.

When Mangal occupies Mesh, in his Dasha, the native will become famous and enthusiastic. He will suffer from troubles caused out of bile, will face risk of thefts and will be subjected to much mental anguish.
