Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
हिल्लाजे ताजिके ॥जन्मनि च वर्षकाले निष्टस्थानस्थिता हता क्रूरैः ॥अत्यंतमशुभदात्री ’उभयत्र शुभातिसौख्यं स्यात् ॥
The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may be in a bad place at birth and also in the year. Bad planets may strike it. Then it gives very bad results. If it is good in both places, great comfort comes.
Simple meaning: 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.
वर्षे यस्मिन्भवेन्मुथहा सौम्येशसंयुता भवति ॥
Muntha with good planets in the year: the house it held at birth grows and brings comfort.
