• 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.
