Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकसारे स्थानविशेषेणापि वर्षेशफलमुक्तम् ॥सद्मोच्चगेषु परिपूर्णफलं खगेषु हद्दात्रिभागकनवांशगतेषु मध्यम् ॥नीचारिवेश्मसहितेषु च दग्धवीर्यमस्तादिगेषु खलु नष्टफलं समन्तात् ॥
In Tajikasara the result of the year lord is also told by its special place. Planets in their own house or in uchcha (high point) give the full result. Planets in their own hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign), drekkana (one-third part of a sign) or navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) give a middling result. In nicha (low point) or an enemy's house, their strength is burnt. Set and the like, they surely lose the result in every way.
Simple meaning: Year lord by its place: own house or high point gives the full result; its own small parts of a sign give a middling one; low point or an enemy's house weakens it; set near the Sun, the result is lost.
अत्रायं विशेषः यदि वर्षेशेन क्रूरग्रह इत्थशालं करोति तदा वर्षेशस्य शुभफलम्पूर्णमशुभफलं न्यूनं ज्ञेयम् ॥ यदि वर्षेशेन क्रूरग्रह ईसराफं करोति तदा अशुभम्पूर्णं फलं शुभफलं न्यूनं ज्ञेयमिति॥
Year lord with a bad planet: an ithasala keeps the good result full; an israpha makes the bad result full.
इति वर्षेशफलं समाप्तम् ॥
Year lord: the results end here.
अथारिष्टविचारः ॥ तत्रोक्तं वक्ष्यमाणं वा वर्षफलं सत्यरिष्टे वृथा मरिष्यमाणत्वात्तस्येत्याह मणित्थः ॥
Harmful yogas of the year: they are judged first, because a year's results mean little if health and life are at risk.
