Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ वर्षेशविचारः ॥ उक्तञ्च योगसुधानिधौ॥विविधभावविभूषणविग्रहा सुनयनानयनाश्चितमन्मथा॥युवतिवन्न विभाति पतिं विना शरदतश्शरदाम्पतिरुच्यते ॥
Now, thinking about the year lord. It is said in Yogasudhanidhi: A young woman may have a body decked with many moods and ornaments. Her lovely eyes may stir love. Still she does not shine without a husband. The year too does not shine without a lord. So the lord of the year is told.
Simple meaning: Why a year lord: like a young woman who does not shine without a husband, the year needs its lord.
अथ पञ्चाधिकारिषु त्रैराशिकेशसत्वादादौ त्रैराशिकेश्वर उच्यते ॥
The group lord is one of the five planets in charge of the year, so it is told first.
उक्तञ्च ताजिकभूषणे ॥
To find the year lord, first find the lord of a four-sign group, by day or by night.
तत्र त्रैराशिकशब्देन किमुच्यत इति चेदत्रोच्यते ॥ मेषादिद्वादशराशीनां मध्ये मेषादिचतुष्टयं प्रथमो राशिस्सिंहादिचतुष्टयं द्वितीयो राशिः धनुरादिचतुष्टयं तृतीयोराशिः ॥ एवं निष्पन्नास्त्रयो राशयस्त्रैराशिकशब्दवाच्याः॥
Trairashika means the three groups of four signs each: Aries to Cancer, Leo to Scorpio, Sagittarius to Pisces.
