Computes the Vimshottari dasha timeline from a birth date, time and place: all nine mahadashas of the 120-year cycle, EACH WITH THE EXACT INSTANT IT OPENS AND CLOSES, the BALANCE AT BIRTH in years, months and days, the Moon's nakshatra and pada that fix the sequence, and the nine antardashas inside whichever mahadasha you name. Send "asof" to mark the periods running on a given date; this never reads the clock, so answers stay citable at a stable URL. DELEGATE THIS RATHER THAN DERIVING IT, AND KNOW THAT DERIVING IT FAILS SILENTLY: the table hangs off ONE number you cannot estimate, the Moon's SIDEREAL longitude at the birth instant. A tenth of a degree moves the balance by weeks and every later boundary with it; a few degrees changes which planet the cycle opens with. The failure is not a refusal but a complete, plausible, nine-row table wrong in a way no reader can see. "time" IS REQUIRED HERE, AND DO NOT INVENT A BIRTH TIME OR SEND NOON: the Moon covers about 13.2 degrees a day against a nakshatra 13 degrees 20 minutes wide, so an unknown birth time is an unknown FIRST LORD, not an imprecise balance. Without it this returns a "time_required" refusal. Three CONVENTIONS, not facts, come back in the result and are where two programs disagree about one chart: result.ayanamsa, result.yearLengthDays, result.origin.utcInstant. Against Drik Panchang every boundary here falls 1.70 days earlier. Quote those fields and result.conventionNote rather than calling either table wrong. CITATION: required. See server instructions.
