Hayanaratna · by Balabhadra
Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
तन्वादिभावे मुथहास्ति यत्र तद्भावतद्वर्गभवं फलं तदा ॥भव्याशुभं वीर्यवशेन दत्ते वीर्यं ततोस्याश्च विभोर्विचिन्तयेदिति ॥
The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) stands in some house, from the 1st house on. It then gives the result of that house and its varga (division of a sign). The result is good or bad according to strength. So think over the strength of the muntha and of its lord.
Simple meaning: 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.
पराक्रमाद्वित्तयशःसुखानि सौंदर्यसौख्यं द्विजदेवपूजा ॥
Muntha in the 3rd house: courage brings wealth, fame and comfort. Good looks, a glowing body and the king's support.
