Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
वामनः ॥स्वामिना स्वामिमित्रेण बलाढ्येन शुभेन वा॥मुथहा संयुता दृष्टा भावोत्थशुभपोषिका॥
The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may be joined with or seen by its own lord, or a friend of its lord. The same holds for a strong planet or a good planet. Then it feeds the good results that come from its house.
Simple meaning: Muntha with its lord, the lord's friend, a strong planet or a good planet: the good of its house grows.
स्वस्वामिशत्रुखेटेन क्रूरेणाल्पबलेन वा ॥
Muntha with an enemy of its lord, a bad planet or a weak planet: poor results. A mix gives a mixed result.
अत्र मिश्रैरुत्तमाधमग्रहैर्युतदृष्टा मुन्था सबलग्रहस्य फलदा भवति ॥
Muntha with mixed planets: the stronger planet gives the result.
उक्तश्च यादवेन ॥
Muntha with good and bad planets: the strong planet decides.
