Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
वर्षेश्वरोमुथशिली च भवेद्यदैको नाथेन तत्सदनधातुफलं ददाति ॥रम्यं विरूपमपि वीर्यवशात्तयोस्तद्भावेक्षणाच्च परिचिंत्य धिया विधेयम् ॥
Suppose the year lord makes ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with one lord. It then gives the result of that lord's house and dhatu (body tissue / state). The result may be pleasant or unpleasant. Judge it with care by the strength of the two and by the look on that house.
Simple meaning: Year lord in ithasala with one lord: it gives the result of that lord's house and state, good or not by their strength.
अत्र वर्षेशो वर्षलग्नाधीशेन मुथशिलं करोति वर्षलग्नाधीशो वा बलवान् तदा भूपात्सुखं वाच्यम् ॥ तथा वर्षेशो वर्षलग्नपेन सहेश राफयोगं करोति लग्नपो वा हीनबलस्तदा भूपादसुखं वाच्यम् ॥
Year lord and year lagna lord: ithasala or a strong lagna lord brings comfort from the king; israpha or a weak one brings discomfort.
उक्तं च जीर्णताजिके ॥
Office holders of the year: the year-lagna lord is king, the Sun or Moon sign lord is general, the muntha lord is minister, the birth-lagna lord…
रससस्यादिधातूनान्तनोस्त्रैराशिकेश्वरः ।
Four-sign group lord: the lord of the lagna's four-sign group rules liquids, crops and the body's state. Strong planets in charge give good results…
