Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ग्रहज्ञाभरणेपि ॥त्रैराशिकेशो न भवेद्यदीन्दुश्चंद्रेश्वरत्वेपि खगेन येन ॥मुख्यास्ययोगोस्य स ईश उक्तो विना तमिंदोर्गृहपोब्दपः स्यादिति ॥
Suppose the Moon has the lordship but is not the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). Then the planet with which the Moon makes the chief yoga (planet combination) is called the lord. Without that planet, the lord of the Moon's sign is year lord.
Simple meaning: 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.
मुख्ययोगो इत्थशालाख्यः ॥
Gloss: the chief yoga is ithasala.
अत्र विशेषान्तरमाह वैद्यनाथः ॥
Year lord in ithasala with the Moon: if it also had kambula with the Moon at a night birth, the year is the best.
अत्र पञ्चाधिकारिणाम्मध्ये पञ्चवर्ग्याबलयुतोपि लग्नदृशडुरिःफोक्तनिर्बलग्रहलक्षणयुतो वर्षेशो न भवतीत्यपि विशेषो ध्येयः ॥
Year lord, a strong planet with weak marks: a planet strong in the five-part count but with marks of weakness is not year lord.
