Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मुंथाब्दभुग्रन्ध्र ८ समांगनाथा नास्तंगता वीर्ययुतास्तमब्दम् ॥रम्यं सुखार्थागमनं विलासं कुर्वंति ते व्यस्तमतो विलोमम् ॥
Take four planets. They are the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year), the year lord, the 8th lord and the year lagna (rising sign) lord. Suppose they are not set and have strength. Then they make the year pleasant. They bring happiness, wealth and enjoyment. In the opposite case, the opposite comes.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord, year lord, 8th lord and year lagna lord: if strong and not set, a pleasant year with money and comfort; the opposite, the reverse.
अथ समाधिपतौ त्रिषडायगे खलखगे सकलं सबले शुभम् ॥
Year lord in the 3rd, 6th or 11th: good if strong. In the 12th or 8th: not good.
अथ विशेषमाह तेजःसिंहः ॥
Year lord in a friendly place, away from the 6th, 8th and 12th, free from the Sun: a year of all comfort.
वक्रेथवाब्दजनुषोरपि सर्वकार्ये स्यात् प्रात्यलोम्यविफलत्वधनक्षयाद्यम् ॥
Year lord retrograde, set or struck: a year of trouble and loss of money. The same if the dasha lord is in the 6th, 8th or 12th.
