Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
तेजस्सिंहः॥मुथहाधिपतिः षष्ठाष्टमान्त्यास्तगतोस्तगः ॥वक्रो वा निजधातूत्थव्याधिन्दद्याद्दशासु च ॥
Tejahsimha says: the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord may be in the 6th, 8th, 12th or 7th house. It may be set, or retrograde. Then it may give illness born of its own dhatu (body tissue / state). This can show up in its dasha (planet period) times too.
Simple meaning: 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.
अयं दुष्टमुथहापवाद इति जीर्णः ॥
Exception to a bad muntha.
