Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
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।।
Meaning of muntha: it moves round the houses from the birth lagna, and the house it rests in shapes the results.
मुन्थहोत्पत्तिप्रकारमाह समरसिंहः ॥
Finding the muntha: divide the years gone by 12, then count the remainder from the lagna.
अयमर्थः ॥ जन्मतो गतवर्षसमूहे द्वादशभक्ते शेषे जन्मलग्नाद्यत्र धनसहजादिभावे विश्रामं प्राप्नोति स एव मुथहास्यादिति ॥
Finding the muntha: years gone divided by 12, remainder counted from the birth lagna.
