When Mangal Shanti Jaap Is Prescribed
In the Vimshottari dasha system Mars runs a mahadasha of 7 years. The jaap is usually taken up during that period, during a Mars antardasha, or when Mars is passing through the chart unfavourably.
The dashansh havan is part of the same anushthan — one-tenth of the count, so 1,000 ahutis for 10,000 japa.
