When Guru Shanti Jaap Is Prescribed
In the Vimshottari dasha system Jupiter runs a mahadasha of 16 years. The jaap is usually taken up during that period, during a Jupiter antardasha, or when Jupiter is passing through the chart unfavourably.
The dashansh havan is part of the same anushthan — one-tenth of the count, so 1,900 ahutis for 19,000 japa.
