When Shukra Shanti Jaap Is Prescribed
In the Vimshottari dasha system Venus runs a mahadasha of 20 years — the longest of the nine. The jaap is usually taken up during that period, during a Venus antardasha, or when Venus is passing through the chart unfavourably.
The dashansh havan is part of the same anushthan — one-tenth of the count, so 1,600 ahutis for 16,000 japa.
