Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
नृपभीतिकरी मृत्यौ जन्मनि शुभसंयुता वर्षे ॥चिरवसुलाभकरी सा पापयुता क्लेशकारिणी प्रोक्ता ॥एवं च षष्ठभावादिषु फलमूह्यं स्वजन्मभतः ॥
... brings fear from the king. The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may be in the 8th house at birth. Then, joined with good planets in the year, it brings money for a long time. Joined with bad planets, it is said to bring trouble. Work out the 6th house and the others the same way. Count from one's own birth sign.
Simple meaning: 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.
एवं पापैरशुभं जन्मनि यद्भावगा मुथहा ॥
Muntha with bad planets: the house is harmed, and the result comes in its lord's period.
वर्षेप्यनिष्टगेहस्थिताथ यद्भावजनुषि क्रूरयुता ॥
Muntha in a bad house in the year, with bad planets at birth: that house is harmed. With good planets, good comes.
