वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
This chapter starts with the muntha in varshaphal, the point that moves one sign each year, because the year lord cannot be found without it. It shows how to count the muntha from the birth lagna and what it tends to bring in each house.

After that it gives what each planet tends to bring as year lord, alone and joined with other planets, strong or weak. It closes with signs of a hard year, what cancels them, and raja yogas that point to a rise in the year.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः ॥ तत्र वर्षेशनिर्णयो मुन्थाज्ञानं विना न भवत्यत आदौ मुथहा निरूप्यते ॥
Now begins the chapter on judging the year lord and related matters. The year lord cannot be found without knowing the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). So the muntha is explained first.
Simple meaning: Start of the chapter: to find the year lord, first find the muntha.

तत्र मुन्थाशब्दस्य व्याख्यानमाह यादवः।।प्रसूतिलग्नभ्रमणेन भावान्मन्थाति मुंथेति च रूढिरस्याः ॥शुभाशुभाख्यं च फलं व्यनक्ति स्थानाश्रयादेव वदामि सम्यक् ॥ १ ॥
Yadava explains the word muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). It stirs up the houses by going round them from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth). So the name muntha has become the custom for it. It shows good and bad results through the house it rests in. I will explain this well.
Simple meaning: Meaning of muntha: it moves round the houses from the birth lagna, and the house it rests in shapes the results.
Verse 5.3 says to take the years gone since birth, divide by twelve, and count the remainder from the lagna. Where the count stops, that is the muntha.
Verse 5.36 says the muntha in the 9th house tends to bring a rise of fortune, with growth of duty, money and gain, and fame.
Verse 5.113 names five to look at: the lords of the muntha, the year lagna, the four-sign group and the birth lagna, and the lord of the Sun's sign by day or the Moon's sign by night.

मुन्थहोत्पत्तिप्रकारमाह समरसिंहः ॥जन्मगतवर्षराशौ द्वादशभक्ते तदुद्धृते शेषे ॥लग्नाद्गणिते यत्र च विश्राम्यति मुन्थहा सास्यादिति ॥
Samarasimha tells how the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is found. Take the years gone since birth. Divide by twelve. Count the remainder from the lagna (rising sign). Where the count stops, that is the muntha.
Simple meaning: Finding the muntha: divide the years gone by 12, then count the remainder from the lagna.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अयमर्थः ॥ जन्मतो गतवर्षसमूहे द्वादशभक्ते शेषे जन्मलग्नाद्यत्र धनसहजादिभावे विश्रामं प्राप्नोति स एव मुथहास्यादिति ॥
This is the meaning. Divide the total of years gone since birth by twelve. Count the remainder from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth). The house where it comes to rest is the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). It may be the 2nd house, the 3rd house and so on.
Simple meaning: Finding the muntha: years gone divided by 12, remainder counted from the birth lagna.

जन्मचक्रे प्रत्यब्दमेकराशिभ्रमणवशाद्यत्र राश्यादिभावं याति स भाव एव वर्षे मुथहा स्यादिति तट्टीकाकृत् ॥
In the birth chart the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) moves one sign each year. The sign and house it reaches in a year is the muntha for that year. So says the writer of that commentary.
Simple meaning: Muntha by the commentator: it moves one sign a year, and the house it reaches is that year's muntha.

तेजास्सिंहोपि ॥जन्मोदयादिनिखिले खलुभावचक्रे प्रत्येकमेकभवनम्मुथहा भुनक्तीति ॥

Simple meaning: Muntha is one sign a year, starting from the sign of the birth lagna.

Manittha also says this. Divide the years gone by twelve. The remainder, counted from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth), is the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). The old teachers give it, joined with its going round, to judge good and bad.
Simple meaning: Finding the muntha: years gone divided by 12, remainder counted from the birth lagna.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकतिलकेपि ॥अशेषजन्मोदयपूर्वभावचक्रेन्थिहैकम्भवनम्भुनक्ति ॥

एतत्स्पष्टङ्गणितपूर्वंकमुक्तन्ताजिकमुक्तावल्याम् ॥ ॥सैका गताब्दाविहताः पतङ्गैः १२ स्तच्छेषभावे मुथहा जनुर्भात् ॥भावान्तरांशार्क १२ लवोनुमासम्भुक्तिर्भवेन्मासफलार्थमस्याः ॥
This is told clearly, with the working, in the Tajikamuktavali. Add one to the years gone. Divide by twelve. Count the remainder from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth). That house is the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). Each month it moves one twelfth of the degrees between two houses. This is for the results of each month.
Simple meaning: Exact muntha: years gone plus one, divided by 12, remainder counted from the birth lagna. Each month it moves a twelfth of a house.

या मुन्थहायाः खलु मासभुक्तिर्गतैष्यमासान्तरवासरैस्ताम् ॥भवेदवाप्तम्प्रतिवारमस्या वृद्धिर्भवेद्घस्रफलार्थमेवमिति ॥
Take the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year)'s motion in a month. Divide it by the days between the month gone and the month to come. What comes out is its growth each day. This is how it is used for the results of each day.
Simple meaning: Muntha's daily motion: divide its monthly motion by the days in the month.

प्रसूतिलग्नभ्रमणेन भावान्मन्थातीत्यवदन्यादवोप्यनुकूलः ॥ केचन सर्वत्र जन्मलग्नांशयोजनङ्कुर्वन्ति ॥ तत्पूर्वोक्तवाक्यानां विचारेण युक्तिसहं ॥
Yadava also agrees. He said it stirs up the houses by going round from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth). Some people always add the degrees of the janma lagna. Weighed against the statements given above, that holds up to reason.
Simple meaning: Yadava agrees on the going round. Some add the degrees of the birth lagna, and that is reasonable.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अतएव स्वजन्मलग्नात्प्रतिवर्षमेकैकराशिभोगान्मुथहाभ्रमेणेतिपद्यार्द्धेन श्रीमन्नीलकण्ठदैवज्ञैस्सामान्यतस्स्वमतमभिधाय स्वजन्मलग्नं रवितष्टपातशरद्युतं साभमुखेन्थिहास्यादिति श्लोकोत्तरार्द्धेन ताजिकसारकर्तृमतमभिहितम् ॥
For this reason, the honoured astrologer Nilakantha gives his own view in general terms. He does it in a half-verse: 'From one's own janma lagna (rising sign at birth), the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) goes round. It enjoys one sign each year.' The second half of the verse gives the Tajikasara author's view. 'Take one's own birth lagna. Add the years gone. Remove twelves. What is left, as sign and degrees, is the muntha.'
Simple meaning: Muntha: Nilakantha says it moves one sign a year from the birth lagna. The Tajikasara view adds the years gone to the lagna and removes twelves.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
तद्यथायाताब्दसंघाद्रविभिर्विभक्ताच्छेषेन्थिहा स्यादथ जन्म लग्नात् ॥ जन्माङ्गभागैस्सहितेति ॥
This is how it goes. Divide the total of years gone by twelve. The remainder, counted from the janma lagna (rising sign at birth), is the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). It is joined with the degrees of the janma lagna.
Simple meaning: Muntha: years gone divided by 12, counted from the birth lagna, plus the lagna degrees.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथवा लग्नांशयोजनं धनसहजादिभावांशयोजनोपलक्षकं यथा जन्मलग्नं सिंहो द्वादशांशमितः प्रथमवर्षे तत्रैव मुथहा पुनर्द्धनभावः ॥ कन्यायान्दशांशमितः द्वितीयवर्षे कन्यायान्दशांशमिता मुथहा ॥ एवं सर्वत्र ज्ञेयम् ॥
Or 'adding the lagna degrees' also stands for adding the degrees of the 2nd house, the 3rd and so on. For example, the janma lagna (rising sign at birth) is Leo at twelve degrees. In the first year the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is right there. Then comes the 2nd house, at Virgo ten degrees. In the second year the muntha is in Virgo at ten degrees. Know it the same way everywhere.
Simple meaning: Adding the degrees: each year the muntha takes the degree of the house it reaches, like Leo 12 degrees, then the 2nd house at Virgo 10 degrees.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
कस्मिन् राशौ मुथहा कः खेटस्तत्र कोधिपस्तस्याः ॥जन्मनि वर्षे तद्बलमन्वेष्यं हीनमधिकं वा॥
Next, how to judge the muntha. Samarasimha has told the good or bad result of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) and of the muntha lord. In which sign is the muntha? Which planet is there? Who is its lord? Its strength, low or high, is to be looked for in the birth chart and in the year.
Simple meaning: Judging the muntha: check its sign, any planet in it, its lord, and their strength.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मुथहाधिपतिः षष्ठाष्टमगो द्वादशगश्चतुर्थश्च॥अस्तमितो वक्री वा क्रूरदृशा वीक्षितो युतः क्रूरैः ॥क्रूराश्चतुर्थसप्तमसंस्थः क्रूरेण वा विजितः॥
The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord may be in the 6th, 8th, 12th or 4th house. Or it may be set [near the Sun], or retrograde. Or it may be seen with a harsh look, or joined with papa (bad planets). Or it may stand 4th or 7th from bad planets. Or a bad planet may have beaten it.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord in the 6th, 8th, 12th or 4th, set, retrograde, or hurt by bad planets: the year is not good.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
भव्यो न भवति वर्षे वाष्टमभवनाधिपेन युक् दृष्टः ॥क्रूरदृशामरणसमं कष्टं योगद्वयेन मरणकरः॥
Such a muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord is not good for the year. Or it may be joined with or seen by the 8th house lord. With a harsh look as well, there is suffering like death. When both combinations come together, there may be danger to life.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord with the 8th lord: a very hard year, safety and health need care.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
यदि मुथहेशोष्टमभावाधिपेन युतः क्रूरदृष्टस्तदा मरणसमं कष्टं यदि मुथहाधिपतिः षष्ठाष्टमग इत्याद्युक्तलक्षणयुतोष्टमाधीशयुतदृष्टश्च मुथहेशो भवति तदा मरणं स्यात्॥अत्र मुथहाधीशदशायामष्टमाधीशांतर्दशा यस्मिन्काले समायाति तत्रैव मरणं वाच्यम्॥
If the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord is joined with the 8th lord and seen by papa (bad planets), there is suffering like death. Suppose the muntha lord has the marks given earlier, such as being in the 6th or 8th. Suppose it is also joined with or seen by the 8th lord. Then there may be danger to life. Here, the time comes when the antardasha (sub-period) of the 8th lord runs. This is within the dasha (planet period) of the muntha lord. The danger to life is told for that time.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord with the 8th lord: a hard time. Timing comes when the 8th lord's sub-period runs in the muntha lord's period.

ताजिकसारे ॥मुंथाधिपो व्ययविनाशगतो विवीर्यो दुष्टग्रहस्त्वशुभवर्गगतोब्दकाले ॥कष्टं नृणाम्परिकिरोति भयं विवादं लोकेस्तथा निजजनैः कलहं नितांतम् ॥
In the Tajikasara: Suppose the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord is in the 12th or 8th house in the year. Or it is weak, or is a bad planet, or is in the divisions of bad planets. Then it brings people trouble, fear and disputes with others. It tends to bring sharp quarrels with one's own people.

Tejahsimha says: the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord may be in the 6th, 8th, 12th or 7th house. It may be set, or retrograde. Then it may give illness born of its own dhatu (body tissue / state). This can show up in its dasha (planet period) times too.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord badly placed or weak: illness may come, mostly in its periods.

In the Tajikabhushana: the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord may be in the 9th, 11th, 3rd or a kendra (corner house) in the year. Then it tends to give people great power. It brings friendship with kings and grows good sense.
