Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्रायं विशेषः यदि वर्षेशेन क्रूरग्रह इत्थशालं करोति तदा वर्षेशस्य शुभफलम्पूर्णमशुभफलं न्यूनं ज्ञेयम् ॥ यदि वर्षेशेन क्रूरग्रह ईसराफं करोति तदा अशुभम्पूर्णं फलं शुभफलं न्यूनं ज्ञेयमिति॥
Here is a special rule. If a bad planet makes an ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the year lord, know this. The good result of the year lord is full. The bad result is small. If a bad planet makes an israpha (planets moving apart after an aspect) with the year lord, know this. The bad result is full. The good result is small.
Simple meaning: 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.
मुक्तावल्यामपि ॥
Harmful yogas of the year: they are judged first, with their cancellation, so the rest of the year can be read.
