Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अयमर्थः ॥ मुथहेशो जन्मनि शुभस्थानगो वर्षेपि शुभस्थानगतस्तदा शुभं फलम्पूर्णम् ॥ उभयत्रानिष्टस्थानगस्तदा अशुभम्फलम्पूर्णम् ॥ यदा जन्मनि शुभस्थानगो वर्षे अशुभस्थानगस्तदा वर्षपूर्वार्द्धे अशुभम्फलम् ॥ वर्षोत्तरार्द्धे शुभम्फलं विपरीते विपरीतम्फलं ज्ञेयमित्यर्थः ॥
This is the meaning. Suppose the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is in a good place at birth. If it is also in a good place in the year, the result is full and good. If it is in a bad place in both, the result is fully bad. If it is good at birth but bad in the year, the first half of the year gives bad results. The second half gives good results. In the opposite case, know the result to be the opposite.
Simple meaning: 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.
चन्द्रराशीश्वरोब्देशस्सचेदिन्दुर्भवेद्यदा ॥
Moon as year lord in its own sign: results run like the Sun's, best, middle or lowest, by the Moon's state.
अत्र चन्द्रश्चेत्रैराशिकेश्वरस्तदा चन्द्र एव वर्षेश्वरो ज्ञेयस्त्रैराशिकेश्वरत्वाभावे येन चन्द्रो मुथशिली स एव वर्षप इति ॥
Moon as year lord: the Moon if it is the four-sign group lord, else the planet in ithasala with it.
