Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
लग्नात्षष्ठद्वादशचतुर्थसप्ताष्टगा न वरा ॥सविशेषन्तु तदीशे दग्धे शुभसंयुते श्रेष्ठा ॥
From the lagna (rising sign), the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) in the 6th, 12th, 4th, 7th or 8th is not good. It is worse still when its lord is dagdha (set near the Sun or otherwise hurt). But joined with shubha (good planets), it is best.
Simple meaning: 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.
मिष्टाशनं वित्तधनादिवृद्धिमुपक्रमाच्चिन्तितकार्यसिद्धिम् ॥
Muntha in the 2nd house: good food, money growth, success in plans.
