The single worked nakshatra→dasha-lord datum Frawley gives inline (book p.198): the nakshatra Hasta is ruled by the Moon, so a person with the natal Moon in Hasta begins life in the Moon Maha Dasha. This records the one explicit graha-rulership of a nakshatra in this theme's pages (the rest of the 27-row table is at the out-of-range p.133). This is the Vimshottari dasha-lord assignment (graha-rules-nakshatra), distinct from BS-core's varna-class of Hasta (vaishya).
