Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
वर्षे यस्मिन्भवेन्मुथहा सौम्येशसंयुता भवति ॥एवं जन्मनि यः स्याद्भावस्तद्वृद्धिसौख्यमब्दे स्यात् ॥
Take the house where the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) stands in the year, joined with good planets or its lord. In the same way, take the house it held at birth. Growth and comfort of that house then come in the year.
Simple meaning: 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.
मुथहेशो मुथहा वा जन्मनि युक्तेक्षिता सौम्यैः ॥
Muntha or its lord with good planets at birth: good results in the first part of the year.
