Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ विशेषमाह तेजःसिंहः ॥मैत्रे सौम्ये स्वे च वर्गे स्थितोथत्यक्त्वाष्टांत्यद्विद् ८।१२ ।६ जयो चोचरस्थः॥मित्रैस्सौम्यैर्दृष्टयुक्तोर्कमुक्तो दत्तेब्देशः सर्वशर्माखिलाब्दम् ॥
Next, Tejahsimha adds a point. The year lord stands in a friend's, a good planet's or its own varga (division of a sign). It is away from the 8th, 12th and 6th houses, and stands high. It is seen or joined by friends and good planets, and is free from the Sun. Such a year lord gives every comfort for the whole year.
Simple meaning: 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.
अब्ददशाधिपो वर्षेशः ॥
Gloss: the lord of the year's dasha is the year lord.
वर्षेश्वरोमुथशिली च भवेद्यदैको नाथेन तत्सदनधातुफलं ददाति ॥
Year lord in ithasala with one lord: it gives the result of that lord's house and state, good or not by their strength.
