Hayanaratna · by Balabhadra
Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ये राशयः क्रूरयुतास्तथा वदंतस्थितास्तत्र गतेंन्थिहा सा ॥तद्धातुजम्पीडनमत्र भावोद्भवस्य नाशश्च फलस्य विद्यात् ॥
Take the signs joined with papa (bad planets), and those so placed, as they say. If the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) goes into such a sign, it brings pain born of that dhatu (body tissue / state). It also brings loss of the result that comes from that house. Know this.
Simple meaning: Muntha in a sign with bad planets: harm to that house's results.
तन्वादिभावे मुथहास्ति यत्र तद्भावतद्वर्गभवं फलं तदा ॥
Muntha result: it gives the result of the house it stands in, good or bad, by its strength.
अथ वर्षतंत्रे मुथहाया द्वादशभावफलानि ॥
Muntha in the 1st house: enemies weaken, peace of mind, gain, glory, the king's favour and a strong body.
उत्साहतोर्थागमनं यशश्च स्वबंधुसन्माननृपाश्रयश्च ॥
Same verse as Tajika Nilakanthi 7.50; see its meaning there.
