Though Padanadhamsa Dasa was mentioned as an ayurdasa in Phalaratnamala, it was used as a phalita dasa also by some scholars of the past. The relevant karika is as follows:
पदेशांश राशे ु दशा नेया िवचक्षन ैः चरे चरािद मागण षा षािदकः िरे
ु वषार् नदीदशोिदतः ाप भाग्यतो यग्मे padeśasthāṁśa rāśestu daśā neyā vicakṣanaiḥ care carādi mārgeṇa ṣaṣṭā ṣaṣṭādikaḥ sthire svāpatya bhāgyato yugme varṣā nadīdaśoditaḥ

Step 1:
Find out the Arudha Lagna in the Rasi chart.
Step 2:
Find out the sign in the Navamsa chart occupied by the lord of the Arudha Lagna.
Step 3:
Padanadhamsa dasa should begin from the sign obtained in the step 2 above.
Step 4: a. If the sign is cardinal and odd, the dasa-signs run regularly, if even, the dasasigns run reversely. b. If the sign is fixed and odd, the dasa- signs run directly in the order of every 6th sign, if it is fixed and even, the dasa- signs run reversely in the order of every 6th sign. c. If the sign is dual and odd, the dasa- signs run directly in the order of 1, 5, 9 signs. If dual and even, the dasa- signs run reversely in the order of 1, 5, 9 signs.
Calculation of Dasa Years: 1. Count the number from the dasa-sign to the lord of the dasa-sign directly if the dasasign is an odd sign. This number is the number of the years of the dasa-sign Count the number from the dasa-sign to the lord of the dasa-sign reversely if the dasa-sign is even. This number is the number of years of the dasa-sign 2. If the dasa-sign is occupied by its lord it gets 12 years 3. If the lord of the dasa-sign occupies its 7th sign, the dasa-sign gets 10years For clear understanding of the Padanadhamsa dasa, the horoscopic chart of Indira Gandhi is illustrated below. D.O.B=19-11-1917, at 11-12PM IST, Allahabad, India. Jaimini Navamsa of Mrs. Indira Gandhi:
Ascendant =Cancer 27d.6mt Sun=7s.4d.8m, Moon =9s.5d.37m, Mars=4s.16d.23m, Mercury=9s.5d.37m, Jupiter=1s.15d.21m, Venus=8s.21m, Saturn=3s.21d.47m.Rahu=8s.10d.33m. Atma karaka Dara karaka
= =
Saturn. Sun.
Padanadhamsa Dasa in the chart of Indira Gandhi Arudha lagna is Aries the 10th of the ascendant (Cancer) because the Moon, the lord of the Ascendant Cancer is placed in Capricorn, the 7th of the Ascendant Cancer. The lord of the arudha lagna( Aries) is Mars placed in Leo in the Jaimini navamsa chart. Hence the Padanadhamsa dasa begins from Leo. Since Leo is a fixed and odd sign the dasa-signs are Leo, Capricorn, Gemini, Scorpio, Aries, Virgo, Aquarius, Cancer, Sagittarius, Taurus, Libra, Pisces in the order of every 6th directly in the Jaimini navamsa chart as given below.

Also the bahya (bhoga) of Gemini is Aries, the 7th of which is Libra occupied by Venus. She became a cabinet minister on 9-6-1964 and Prime Minister on 26-1-1966 in the Aries Dasa of 5years.

Indira Gandhi became Cabinet Minister on 9-6-1964 in Aries-Libra and Prime Minister on 26-1-1966 in Aries-Aquarius. (in the bahya sign, Sagittarius). The meaning implied in Padanadhamsa is as follows: Pada means parama pada, nadha means the lord who is Lord Vishnu, amsa means part referring to Goddess Lakshmi, the inseparable amsa (apridhak sambandha). Hence it is quite apt to make use of this phalitha dasa in female nativities preferably. See below the dwara3 & bahya dasa-signs used above in the Aries Dasa of 5 years.
