Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकभूषणेपि ॥जन्मोदयाब्दोदयमुंथहेशा वर्षप्रवेशो दिवसेर्कभेशः ॥निशींदुभेशस्त्रिगृहेश एते वर्षाधिपत्ये ह्यधिकारिणः स्युः ॥
The lords of the birth lagna (rising sign), the year lagna and the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) are in charge. So is the lord of the Sun's sign at the year's entry by day. By night it is the lord of the Moon's sign. So is the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). These are the planets in charge for the year's lordship.
Simple meaning: Tajikabhushana lists the same five candidates for year lord.
राशयः | १ | २ | ३ | ४ | ५ | ६ | ७ | ८ | ९ | १० | ११ | १२
Table of the group lords for each sign, by day and by night.
मुक्तावल्यामपि ॥
Muktavali lists the same five planets in charge of the year.
एतेषु बलवाँल्लग्नं पश्येद्यः सोब्दनायकः ॥
Year lord, the strong one: the strong planet that looks at the lagna becomes year lord. One that does not look at the lagna does not, even if strong.
