Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
निखिलं प्राक्पद्योक्तं वाणिज्येन वर्तनं जीवनं अत्र बुधे सौम्येत्थशाले प्रागुक्तं शुभफलमविकलं स्याद्न्यथा न अत्र मार्गगताबुधमवानिति वाक्ये ॥ समरसिंहवाक्येन ॥ पूर्णबले बुधे वर्षेशे अध्वयानमपि वाच्यम् ॥
"All" means everything said in the verse before. "Vanijya vartana" means making a living by trade. Here, Mercury may be in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with a good planet. Then the good results said before come in full. Otherwise they do not. By Samarasimha's line, when Mercury is the year lord at full strength, travel on the road should also be told. (Our text is unclear here: a short phrase about travel on the road, before Samarasimha's line, does not read clearly.)
Simple meaning: Mercury as year lord, explained: the good results come in full only with an ithasala with a good planet. At full strength, travel can also be told.
सौम्येब्दपेऽधमबले बलबुद्धिहानिर्द्धर्मक्षयः परिभवो निजवाक्यदोषात् ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 7.27; see its meaning there.
तेजःसिंहः ॥
Mercury as year lord, strong, middle and weak: strong brings service, honour and gain from work. Middle gives middling results. Weak brings loss…
ताजिकसारेपि॥
Mercury as strong year lord: comfort, money from service, gain from writing and study, and happy family life. Trade brings wealth.
