Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
वामनोपि ॥दृष्ट्याभावे तु संग्राह्यस्तस्मादल्पबलो ग्रहः ॥समसंख्याबले जाते तदा दृष्ट्याधिकः पतिः ॥
When the strong one has no aspect, take a planet with less strength than it. If the strength count is equal, the one with more aspect is the lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, the strong one does not look: take a weaker planet that looks. If strength is equal, the one with more aspect.
यादवः ॥
Year lord, equal aspect: among the five, the planet holding the most charges is year lord.
समरसिंहोपि ॥
Year lord, many look at the lagna: among the five, the one holding the most charges gets the lordship.
दृष्टिसमत्वे जन्मलग्नपवर्षलग्नपेत्याद्युक्ताधिकारपंचकमध्ये यस्य बहवोधिकाराः स एव वर्षाधिप इत्युक्तम् ॥
Year lord, equal aspect: the planet in charge of the most places among the five is year lord.
