Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
तद्वच्चरिष्टहर्तृणां स्थापयेच्च पृथग्बलम् ॥तत्रारिष्टबले योज्ये मृतिरोगबले पुनः ॥
In the same way, set down apart the strength of the planets that remove arishta (harm in the year). Then add the strengths of death and of illness to the strength of harm.
Simple meaning: Weighing harm: set the strength of the harm-removers apart. Add the strengths for danger to life and illness to the harm side.
देहांगपुण्यजीवानां बलं तद्भंगकृद्बलः ॥
Weighing harm: the strength of body, merit and life goes to the side that breaks the harm.
तयोरंतरजो धीमान् रिष्टं तद्भंगमादिशेत् ॥
Take the difference between the two strengths. That tells whether harm stays or goes.
रिष्टकृद्ग्रहदशांतरेयदांतर्दशाधिरिपुपापिनो भवेत् ॥
When harm is serious: only if the sub-period lord is an enemy and a bad planet, and the lifespan is ending.
