Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
चन्द्रराशीश्वरोब्देशस्सचेदिन्दुर्भवेद्यदा ॥तत्फलं सूर्यवद्वेद्यं श्रेष्ठमध्याधमन्तदा ॥चन्द्रधात्वनुसारेण खिन्धिकस्येति सम्मतमिति ॥
The lord of the Moon's sign may be year lord, and that may be the Moon itself. Then know its result to be like the Sun's: best, middle or lowest. This goes by the Moon's dhatu (body tissue / state). This is the view of Khindhika.
Simple meaning: 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.
ग्रहज्ञाभरणेपि ॥
Moon not four-sign group lord: the planet in the chief yoga with the Moon is year lord, else the lord of the Moon's sign.
