Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकमुक्तावल्यामपि ॥रविभृगुशनिशुक्रास्त्रिःपरावर्तनेन क्रियतइह दिवेशास्स्युः सदेशाश्च तद्वत् ॥शनिगुरुकुजचंद्रा रात्रिनाथास्तथैवामरगुरुशशिसौम्यक्ष्मासुताश्च क्रमेणेति ॥
It is told in Tajikamuktavali too. The Sun, Venus, Saturn and Venus, gone round three times, are the day lords here. The sadeshas (co-lords) go the same way: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and the Moon. The night lords also go round the same way: Jupiter, the Moon, Mercury and Mars, in order.
Simple meaning: Tajikamuktavali: day lords Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus; co-lords Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Moon; night lords Jupiter, Moon, Mercury, Mars; each set repeats over the twelve signs.
अनयोस्त्वराशिकेश्वरयोर्विषयव्यवस्थोक्ता तत्रैव ॥
Which lord of a group is taken: the strong one. If equal, the natural lord.
दिनाधीशसदृशयो रात्रीशसदृशयोर्वा मध्ये यो बलवान्स ग्राह्यः ॥ बलसाम्ये तेजःसिंहायुक्ता निसर्गास्त्रैराशिकेश्वरा ज्ञेयाइति ॥
Take the stronger of the lord and its co-lord. If equal, take Tejahsimha's natural group lords.
अथ वर्षेशार्थं पंचाधिकारिण आह समरसिंहः ॥
The five candidates for year lord: lords of the muntha, the year lagna, the four-sign group, the Sun's or Moon's sign, and the birth lagna.
