Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
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 agrees on the going round. Some add the degrees of the birth lagna, and that is reasonable.
अतएव स्वजन्मलग्नात्प्रतिवर्षमेकैकराशिभोगान्मुथहाभ्रमेणेतिपद्यार्द्धेन श्रीमन्नीलकण्ठदैवज्ञैस्सामान्यतस्स्वमतमभिधाय स्वजन्मलग्नं रवितष्टपातशरद्युतं साभमुखेन्थिहास्यादिति श्लोकोत्तरार्द्धेन ताजिकसारकर्तृमतमभिहितम् ॥
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.
तद्यथा
Muntha: years gone divided by 12, counted from the birth lagna, plus the lagna degrees.
