Emphasis lies on the number of times the Moola manthra / Vedic Manthra / Beejakshari manthra has to be recited , technically known as Japa Sankhya. As mentioned in the Vedic scriptures like Shanti Kamalakara, Shanti Pushti Tarangini a graha manthra should be recited for a count of Dasha Varsha * 1000 times.
For ex, since Rahu Dasha lasts for eighteen years, the japa sankhya for Rahu will be 18*1000 = 18000.
One tenth of the japa sankhya ie 1800 will be the Ksheera Tharpana , one tenth of tharpana sankhya ie 180 should be the Aahuthi or Homa, one tenth of Aahuthi/ Swaahaakaaram ie 18 shuold be Brahmana bhojana . Similarly for Guru-, number of dasha year will be 16. Hence , 16000 Japa, 1600 Ksheera Tharpana,160 Aahuthi & 16 Braahmana Bhojana should be performed.
It is important to ensure that specified holy items like twigs from holy trees referred as Samidha, particular type of cooked rice known as Havishyaanbam or Charu , pure ghee alongwith other materials are utilised in the homam. This entire procedure could be completed in three days / five sessions with dedicated involvement of 5-6 well learnt Vedic priests guided by an experienced head priest or Pradhaana Aachaarya.
