Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मुक्तावल्यामपि ॥मुन्थेशो वर्षलग्नेशस्तत्रैराशिकनायकाः ॥दिवार्कराशिनाथश्च रात्रौ चंद्रक्षनायकाः ॥जन्मलग्नेश्वरश्चैवं वर्षे पञ्चाधिकारिणः ॥
It is told in Muktavali too. The lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is in charge. So are the lord of the year lagna (rising sign) and the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). So is the lord of the Sun's sign by day and of the Moon's sign by night. So is the lord of the birth lagna. These are the five adhikaris (the planets in charge) for the year.
Simple meaning: 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.
यादवोपि ॥
Year lord, the five candidates: birth lagna lord, muntha lord, the Sun's or Moon's sign lord, four-sign group lord and year lagna lord.
लग्नं प्रपश्येदधिवीर्य एषां वर्षेश्वरः स्यादथ दृष्ट्यभावे ॥
Year lord, aspect decides: the strongest planet that looks at the lagna is year lord. If it does not look, a weaker one that does can be year lord…
