Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
जन्मचक्रे प्रत्यब्दमेकराशिभ्रमणवशाद्यत्र राश्यादिभावं याति स भाव एव वर्षे मुथहा स्यादिति तट्टीकाकृत् ॥
In the birth chart the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) moves one sign each year. The sign and house it reaches in a year is the muntha for that year. So says the writer of that commentary.
Simple meaning: Muntha by the commentator: it moves one sign a year, and the house it reaches is that year's muntha.
