Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
जीवान्वितार्थात्मजदारसौख्यदा युतेन्दुना रुक्षयरौप्यकीर्तिदा ॥शुक्रेण युक्तार्थकलत्रशर्मदा सौम्यान्वितास्यान्मुथहार्थबुद्धिदा॥
With Jupiter, the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) gives wealth, children, wife and comfort. With the Moon, it gives gold, silver and fame. With Venus, it gives wealth, wife and comfort. With Mercury, it gives wealth and understanding.
Simple meaning: Muntha with Jupiter: wealth, children, wife, comfort. With the Moon: gold, silver, fame. With Venus: wealth, wife, comfort. With Mercury: wealth and good sense.
कवेर्गुरोर्वा युतिदृष्टिगेन्थिहा राहास्यगाधर्मधनेशतावहा ॥
Muntha in Rahu's mouth with Venus or Jupiter: duty, wealth, power. In Rahu's tail: trouble from enemies and sorrow, more so with bad planets.
अन्योपि विशेषस्तेनैवोक्तः ॥
Muntha with a weak Sun, even in a corner house, is not good. A weak muntha troubled by bad planets in the 1st house: health needs care.
अत्र रविणेत्युपलक्षणं सर्वग्रहाणां नीचादिगत्वं शुभफलनाशकं ज्ञेयम् ॥
Any planet that is low or weak spoils good results, not only the Sun.
