Jupiter is significator

11. • Padanavamsa dasa a variation of Narayan dasa to see
changes of Image
• The image or ärudha is mäyä or untruth and cannot be
permanent. It changes with time based on daçä.
• Every dasä affects the äruòha by (1) house placement
from it and (2) argalä (planetary intervention)
• Näräyana dasä, Vimsottari daçä and other such methods
of progression are useful tools to decipher the changes
in image.
• Natural years of carakäraka replacement also cause
major changes in the ärudha.
