ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
प्रयोजनं मम कार्यमस्मिन्वर्षे केन भविष्यतीतिप्रश्नेवर्षलग्नेशसमजात्यादिकेन वर्षेशसमजात्यादिकेन वा मनुष्येण वा कार्यं ज्ञेयम् ॥
The use is this. Someone asks: by whom will my work be done this year? Then the work should be known to be done by a certain person. He is of the same caste and so on as the lord of the year's lagna (rising sign). Or by one of the same caste and so on as the year lord.
Simple meaning: Who does my work this year: a person like the lord of the year's rising sign, or like the year lord.

Planets and goods: a strong planet's goods are gained in the year, a weak planet's goods are lost.
