Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
दशमे चापे पुण्ये स्वामित्वकरो भवेन्नृणां मुथहा ॥लग्नद्वितीयपंचमसहजे चोपक्रमाद्धनं दत्ते ॥
The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) in the 10th, in Sagittarius or in the 9th tends to give people lordship. In the lagna (rising sign), the 2nd, the 5th and the 3rd, it gives wealth through effort.
Simple meaning: 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.
अथ मुथहाया द्वादशभावफलानि ॥ तेजास्सिंहेनोक्तानि ॥
Muntha in the 1st house: good health, comfort, strength, victory.
