Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथाज्ञातजन्मनः प्रश्नपत्रे वर्षेशानयनं ताजिकसारे ॥प्रश्नांगपो वर्षपतिः प्रकल्प्यस्तुर्येश्वरो जन्मविलग्ननाथः ॥मुन्थाधिपः प्रश्नविलग्नतश्च त्रैराशिपो घस्रपतिः पुरावदिति ॥
Next, finding the year lord in the question chart of one whose birth is not known, from Tajikasara. The lord of the lagna (rising sign) of the question is to be taken as year lord. The 4th lord stands for the birth lagna lord. The lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is found from the question lagna. The trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) and the day lord are as before.
Simple meaning: Year lord from a question chart: use the question lagna lord, the 4th lord for the birth lagna lord, the muntha lord from the question lagna, the four-sign group lord and the day lord.
यदा पुनर्मुथहेशो वर्षेशो जातस्तदा विशेषमाह समरसिंहः ॥
Muntha lord as year lord: if it is set near the Sun, the year is not good. In its birth sign again, the result is full.
अयमर्थः ॥ मुथहेशो जन्मनि शुभस्थानगो वर्षेपि शुभस्थानगतस्तदा शुभं फलम्पूर्णम् ॥ उभयत्रानिष्टस्थानगस्तदा अशुभम्फलम्पूर्णम् ॥ यदा जन्मनि शुभस्थानगो वर्षे अशुभस्थानगस्तदा वर्षपूर्वार्द्धे अशुभम्फलम् ॥ वर्षोत्तरार्द्धे शुभम्फलं विपरीते विपरीतम्फलं ज्ञेयमित्यर्थः ॥
Muntha lord as year lord: good in both charts, a good year; bad in both, a hard year; good then bad, bad first half and good second half.
अथ चन्द्राब्दपत्वेविशेषो मुक्तावल्याम् ॥
Moon as year lord: the planet that makes full ithasala with the Moon is the year lord.
