Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
यदि मुथहेशोष्टमभावाधिपेन युतः क्रूरदृष्टस्तदा मरणसमं कष्टं यदि मुथहाधिपतिः षष्ठाष्टमग इत्याद्युक्तलक्षणयुतोष्टमाधीशयुतदृष्टश्च मुथहेशो भवति तदा मरणं स्यात्॥अत्र मुथहाधीशदशायामष्टमाधीशांतर्दशा यस्मिन्काले समायाति तत्रैव मरणं वाच्यम्॥
If the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord is joined with the 8th lord and seen by papa (bad planets), there is suffering like death. Suppose the muntha lord has the marks given earlier, such as being in the 6th or 8th. Suppose it is also joined with or seen by the 8th lord. Then there may be danger to life. Here, the time comes when the antardasha (sub-period) of the 8th lord runs. This is within the dasha (planet period) of the muntha lord. The danger to life is told for that time.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord with the 8th lord: a hard time. Timing comes when the 8th lord's sub-period runs in the muntha lord's period.
ताजिकसारे ॥
Muntha lord weak, a bad planet, or in the 12th or 8th: trouble, fear and quarrels.
तेजस्सिंहः॥
Muntha lord badly placed or weak: illness may come, mostly in its periods.
ताजिकभूषणे ॥
Muntha lord in the 9th, 11th, 3rd or a corner house: power, friendly kings, good sense.
