Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकसारे ॥मुंथाधिपो व्ययविनाशगतो विवीर्यो दुष्टग्रहस्त्वशुभवर्गगतोब्दकाले ॥कष्टं नृणाम्परिकिरोति भयं विवादं लोकेस्तथा निजजनैः कलहं नितांतम् ॥
In the Tajikasara: Suppose the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord is in the 12th or 8th house in the year. Or it is weak, or is a bad planet, or is in the divisions of bad planets. Then it brings people trouble, fear and disputes with others. It tends to bring sharp quarrels with one's own people.
Simple meaning: 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.
समरसिंहः ॥
Muntha lord in a corner house, its high point, a friend's sign or its own: many gains and friends' comfort.
