Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
पृच्छाविलग्नस्य विहाय राशिं विभाजयेदंशकलाकलापम् ॥खबाणचंद्रै १५० रिह राशिपूर्वफलं विलग्नात् मुथहा स्थितिः स्यात् ॥
Leave aside the sign of the question lagna (rising sign). Take its degrees and minutes as minutes. Divide them by 150. The result, in signs and so on, counted from the lagna, gives the place of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year).
Simple meaning: Question chart muntha: drop the lagna sign, divide the degrees and minutes by 150, count the answer from the lagna.
चतुर्थभावाधिपतिं विचिन्त्य स्वजन्मलग्नाधिपतिं बलार्थम् ॥
Look at the 4th lord and the birth lagna lord for strength.
प्रश्नपत्रे मुंथानयनमुक्तम्फलप्रदीपे ॥
Finding the muntha in a question chart: divide the lagna minutes by 150. The answer in signs is the muntha.
प्रश्नपत्रीकरणम् ॥
The question chart section ends here.
