Hayanaratna · by Balabhadra
Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
परेंथिहेशो रविमंडलस्य यदा तदेवं प्रवदंति सन्तः ॥षष्ठाष्टमस्थे ननु वर्षनाथे महाभयं भूतकृतं च कष्टम् ॥
Further, the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may be in the Sun's circle. The wise say the same result then. If the year lord is in the 6th or 8th, there is great fear. Trouble caused by bhuta (spirit) comes too.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord too close to the Sun: the same harm as before. Year lord in the 6th or 8th: great fear, and trouble from spirits.
तदांशुभागे शशिजे कबूले मंदेन सार्धं न सुखं कदाचित् ॥
Mercury near the Sun in kambula with Saturn: no comfort, loss in marriage, sorrow and enmity.
क्रूरः खगो यास्तमितोथ वक्री क्रूरस्य गर्वे यदि लग्ननाथः ॥
Lagna lord a bad planet, set, retrograde or in a bad planet's division: a broken year, enmity and ruin ahead.
वर्षतंत्रे ॥
