Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
लग्नाधिपे क्रूरयुते द्युनाख्ये समस्तदृक् तूर्यबलेन दृष्टे ॥विनष्टपापं नवतिश्च येन वर्षे नरोसौ यमसद्म याति ॥
The lord of the lagna (rising sign) may be joined by bad planets and stand in the 7th. It may be looked at in full, with the strength of a 4th-house look. A bad planet may be ninety degrees from it. Then in that year the person may go to the house of the god of death. (Our text is unclear here: the words 'vinashta papam', 'a ruined bad planet', in the third quarter.)
Simple meaning: Lagna lord with bad planets in the 7th, under a hard look: a very hard year, health needs care.
कुजतमोर्कसुताः सुखमाश्रिता यमपुरं स नरः परिगच्छति ॥
Mars, Rahu and Saturn in the 4th, or a bad planet in the 8th without Jupiter's look: a very hard year.
ताजिकसारे ॥
Moon in the lagna, 7th, 12th, 6th or 8th with bad planets and no kind look from Jupiter: trouble, fear of fire or weapons. Seen by good planets…
रंध्रेशोथविलग्नपो यदि विधोर्लग्नाद्व्ययारिष्टगो तौ सौम्यैरवलोकितौ निधनकृन्मुन्थाधिपो वा तथा ॥
8th lord and lagna lord in the 12th, 6th or 8th from the Moon: a hard year. The muntha lord is read the same way.
