Chapter 5 · Year Lord and Muntha
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
प्रश्नपत्रे मुंथानयनमुक्तम्फलप्रदीपे ॥तत्कापं प्रश्नलग्नस्य कलिकाः खाक्षभू१५० हृताः॥लब्धा राश्यादिकामुन्था प्रश्नपत्रेभवेत्स्फुटा इति ॥
It is said in Phalapradipa how to find the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) in a question chart. Take the minutes of the question lagna, divided by 150. The result, in signs and so on, becomes the exact muntha in the question chart. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'tatkapam' at the start.)
Simple meaning: 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.
अथ वर्षेशविचारः ॥ उक्तञ्च योगसुधानिधौ॥
Why a year lord: like a young woman who does not shine without a husband, the year needs its lord.
अथ पञ्चाधिकारिषु त्रैराशिकेशसत्वादादौ त्रैराशिकेश्वर उच्यते ॥
The group lord is one of the five planets in charge of the year, so it is told first.
