ताजिकालंकारेपि ॥वीर्य्यज्ञाने वर्षनाथःप्रसिद्धः कर्तुं शक्यो नैव यस्मात् समासु ॥ज्ञातुंवीर्य्यं सूर्य्यतः खेचराणान्तस्माद्वक्ष्ये पञ्चवर्गीविधानमिति ॥
Also in the Tajikalankara. Since, in the years, the year lord cannot at all be settled in the knowing of strength. I will therefore tell the way of panchavargi (five-part strength). It is for knowing the strength of the planets, from the Sun on.
Simple meaning: Why panchavargi comes first: the year lord cannot be settled without knowing the planets' strength, so the five-part way is given.
पञ्चवर्गानाह समरसिंहः ॥
Five places of strength: own house, high point, hadda, trairashika and musallaha. A planet with none of them is not strong.
