Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकसारे ॥यदाब्दलग्नं बहवो न भोगाः ॥ पश्यंति चेत्थं च दिवौकसां हि ॥मध्येधिकारा बहवोपि यस्य दृष्टिस्तदा चंद्रमसेत्थशालः ॥केनापि सोब्दाधिपतिर्विनेत्थशालं तदा यस्तनुपः प्रदिष्टः ॥
Suppose most planets do not see the lagna (rising sign) of the year chart (chart for the year) in this way. Then, among them, the planet holding the most charges is year lord, if it has aspect. Else, the planet in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the Moon is year lord, whichever it is. Without ithasala, the lord of the lagna is named.
Simple meaning: Year lord, few look at the lagna: the planet with most charges, or the one in ithasala with the Moon, else the lagna lord.
ताजिकतिलकेप्येवमेवोक्तम् ॥
Year lord, no one looks at the lagna: first the planet in charge of most places, then the strongest, then the one in ithasala with the year lagna…
अथ पंचाधिकारिणां दृष्टयभावे वर्षलग्नेशोब्दप इत्युक्तं मुक्तावल्याम् ॥
Year lord, no one looks at the lagna: the lord of the year chart lagna becomes year lord.
एवंविधे विषये प्रकारांतरमुक्तं ताजिकभूषणे ॥
Year lord, no one looks at the year lagna: take the planet that looked at that sign at birth, else the muntha lord.
