Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकभूषणे ॥भाग्ये च लाभे सहजे च केंद्रे चेद्वर्षकाले मुथहाधिनाथः ॥करोति पुंसां विपुलं प्रतापं मैत्रीं नृपैस्सन्मतिवर्द्धनं च ॥
In the Tajikabhushana: the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord may be in the 9th, 11th, 3rd or a kendra (corner house) in the year. Then it tends to give people great power. It brings friendship with kings and grows good sense.
Simple meaning: 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.
दशमे चापे पुण्ये स्वामित्वकरो भवेन्नृणां मुथहा ॥
Muntha in the 10th, in Sagittarius or in the 9th gives authority. In the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th it gives wealth through effort.
