Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ चन्द्राब्दपत्वेविशेषो मुक्तावल्याम् ॥चन्द्रैश्वर्य्ये तु येनेन्दुर्भवेत्पूर्णेत्थशालकृत् ॥स वर्षेशोभवेन्नूनं नोचेन्मुथशिलन्तदा ॥
Next, a special point about the Moon as year lord, from Muktavali. When the Moon has the lordship, the planet with which the Moon makes full ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) is surely the year lord. If there is none, then the planet in ithasala.
Simple meaning: 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.
विशेष उक्तस्तेजास्सिंहेन ॥
Equal candidates: the Sun by day or the Moon by night, if it is the four-sign group lord; else its ithasala partner; else the Moon's sign lord.
