Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
समरसिंहः ॥जन्मनि मदरिपुमृत्युव्ययाब्धिगाब्दे च तनुधनादिस्था ॥क्रूरहता तद्भावक्षतिकृत्सौम्येशसंयुता शुभदा ॥
The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may stand in the 7th, 6th, 8th, 12th or 4th house at birth. In the year it may stand in the 1st, 2nd or another house. If bad planets strike it, it harms that house. If good planets or its lord join it, it gives good.
Simple meaning: Muntha in a bad house at birth and in another house in the year: bad planets harm that house, good planets help.
हिल्लाजे ताजिके ॥
Muntha bad at birth and in the year: very bad results. Good in both: great comfort.
जन्मचतुर्थस्थाने वर्षे स्याद्यत्र कुत्रापि ॥
Muntha in the 4th at birth: with good planets in the year, the father gains money and land.
नृपभीतिकरी मृत्यौ जन्मनि शुभसंयुता वर्षे ॥
Muntha in the 8th at birth: good planets bring lasting wealth, bad planets bring trouble. Other houses work the same way.
