Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अयं दुष्टमुथहापवाद इति जीर्णः ॥
This is the exception to a bad muntha (the point that moves one sign each year), says Jirna.
Simple meaning: 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.
लग्नात्षष्ठद्वादशचतुर्थसप्ताष्टगा न वरा ॥
Muntha in the 6th, 12th, 4th, 7th or 8th is not good, worse with a burnt lord, but best when joined with good planets.
तनुधनसहजानाम्मध्ये यत्रास्ति मुन्थहा तस्य पूर्वोक्तजातकफलं तत्काले यच्छति शुभेशाप्रतिभावे वक्ष्यमाणमुन्थाफलं शुभेशमुन्थायां पूर्णं ज्ञेयम् ॥ क्रूरेशमुन्थायाङ्किञ्चिन्यूनं ज्ञेयमित्यर्थः ॥
Muntha in the 1st to 3rd houses gives that house's result; full with a good lord, a little less with a bad lord.
