Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
सूतौ व्योमपतिर्ग्रहस्स यदि चेत्तद्भं यदाधिष्ठितो नीचश्चास्तमुपागतः शुभहरः प्रोक्तोब्दवेशे बुधैः ॥सौम्याश्चेत्पतिताश्रिताः खलखगाः केन्द्राश्रिता वक्रिणो निर्वीर्या यदि वा तदाब्दसमये लक्ष्मीः परिक्षीयते ॥
Take the planet that is lord of the 10th house at birth. At the start of the year it may stand in that sign, at nicha (low point) or set. The wise call it a taker of good. Good planets may stand in falling houses. Bad planets may stand in kendras (corner houses), turning back, or weak. Then wealth wastes away in the year.
Simple meaning: A birth 10th lord low or set at the start of the year, good planets in falling houses, bad ones in corner houses: wealth can fall.
जनौ व्ययेथो दशमे च वर्षे स्वस्वामिसौम्येक्षणयोगहीनः ॥
A planet in the 12th at birth and the 10th in the year, without help from its lord or good planets, can take away wealth.
अब्देशः पदपोथवास्तमयगो नीचारिगो वा भवेल्लग्नेशेन कृतेशराफयुतिकः खेशोथ रात्रीश्वरः ॥
Breaking of royal results: the year lord and other key planets set, low or hurt can spoil the year. Part of the verse is not clear.
पञ्चाधिकारिष्वपि नैव केंद्रत्रिकोणलाभक्रमगो बलीयान् ॥
If none of the five chief planets is strong in a good house, much comfort and wealth is lost.
