Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र विशेष उक्तस्ताजिकमुक्तावल्याम् ॥षष्ठाष्टमद्वादशतुर्यसंस्था पापान्विता क्रूरनिरीक्षितेन्थिहा ॥तदीश्वरस्तद्वदथार्कलुप्तो वर्षेश्वरो रंध्ररिपुव्ययस्थः ॥
Here Tajikamuktavali gives a further point. The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may stand in the 6th, 8th, 12th or 4th. It may be joined by bad planets and seen by bad planets. Its lord may be placed the same way. Or its lord may be lost in the Sun's rays. Or the year lord may stand in the 8th, 6th or 12th.
Simple meaning: Muntha or its lord in the 4th, 6th, 8th or 12th with bad planets, or a year lord in the 6th, 8th or 12th: signs of harm.
अस्तङ्गतो लग्नपतिश्च तद्व ८।६।१२ त्सामान्यतोन्येपि विनाशसंस्थाः ॥
Harm in the year: lagna lord set or in the 8th, 6th or 12th, Moon pierced in the three-flag wheel, birth lord in the 8th.
पराजिता वर्षपजन्मलग्नवर्षाङ्गमुंथापतयस्तथैव ॥
When the main lords of the year are defeated or set, they can bring harm.
अतोन्यथा रिष्टहराः खचरा मुनिभिस्स्मृताः ॥
Planets in the opposite state remove harm. Add up the strength of the harm-making planets in one place.
