Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
विशेषांतरमाह समरसिंहः ॥यो भवति वर्षनाथस्तस्मिन् वर्षे दशाधिपः ॥सदृहगं पश्येदथ चक्रे क्वास्ते जन्मनि च वर्षे च ॥
Samarasimha gives another special point. Whoever is the year lord is the dasha (planet period) lord in that year. Look at him, and see where he stands in the chart, at birth and in the year. (Our text is unclear here.)
Simple meaning: Year lord as the period lord of the year: see where it stands in the birth chart and in the year chart.
क्रूरः शुभोथवायं केन च दृष्टो युतः स कस्य गृहे ॥
Questions about the year lord: bad or good, who sees or joins it, whose house, corner house, even motion, which office.
इत्थमवलोकितेस्मिन् शुभयुतदृष्टे विलग्नगगनस्थे॥
Year lord with good planets, in the lagna or the 10th house: all goes well, and the person leads among his own people.
मध्यबलेऽस्मिन् मध्यं हीने हीनं गृहक्षभावेन ॥
Middle strength gives a middle result, weak gives a weak one. Check both lagnas and his house and sign.
