Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अतएव स्वजन्मलग्नात्प्रतिवर्षमेकैकराशिभोगान्मुथहाभ्रमेणेतिपद्यार्द्धेन श्रीमन्नीलकण्ठदैवज्ञैस्सामान्यतस्स्वमतमभिधाय स्वजन्मलग्नं रवितष्टपातशरद्युतं साभमुखेन्थिहास्यादिति श्लोकोत्तरार्द्धेन ताजिकसारकर्तृमतमभिहितम् ॥
For this reason, the honoured astrologer Nilakantha gives his own view in general terms. He does it in a half-verse: 'From one's own janma lagna (rising sign at birth), the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) goes round. It enjoys one sign each year.' The second half of the verse gives the Tajikasara author's view. 'Take one's own birth lagna. Add the years gone. Remove twelves. What is left, as sign and degrees, is the muntha.'
Simple meaning: 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.
अथवा लग्नांशयोजनं धनसहजादिभावांशयोजनोपलक्षकं यथा जन्मलग्नं सिंहो द्वादशांशमितः प्रथमवर्षे तत्रैव मुथहा पुनर्द्धनभावः ॥ कन्यायान्दशांशमितः द्वितीयवर्षे कन्यायान्दशांशमिता मुथहा ॥ एवं सर्वत्र ज्ञेयम् ॥
Adding the degrees: each year the muntha takes the degree of the house it reaches, like Leo 12 degrees, then the 2nd house at Virgo 10 degrees.
अथ मुथहाविचारणप्रकारम्मुथहेशमुथहयोः शुभमशुभंवा फलमुक्तं समरसिंहेन॥
Judging the muntha: check its sign, any planet in it, its lord, and their strength.
