Hayanaratna · Chapter 5
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
This chapter starts with the muntha in varshaphal, the point that moves one sign each year, because the year lord cannot be found without it. It shows how to count the muntha from the birth lagna and what it tends to bring in each house.
It then explains how the year lord is chosen from five candidates, using the lords of the four-sign groups. After that it gives what each planet tends to bring as year lord, alone and joined with other planets, strong or weak. It closes with signs of a hard year, what cancels them, and raja yogas that point to a rise in the year.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.

Tejahsimha has told only the results of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) joining the planets.

He has told one more special point. The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may be with the Sun, even in a kendra (corner house). If the Sun is in nicha (low point), weak, or hit by papa (bad planets), the muntha is not good. Say the muntha was in a bad house at birth. In the year it is weak, troubled by bad planets and in the 1st house. Then it may cause trouble in the body.

And more from the same book. The muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) stands in some house. Count it from the birth lagna (rising sign), and from the year lagna too. If it has its own lord's strength and the like, it gives the results of that house. In the same way, in the 6th it brings poor health. In the 8th there may be danger to life. In the 12th it brings troubles caused by enemies.
Simple meaning: Muntha's house: a muntha with a strong lord gives that house's results. In the 6th, poor health; in the 8th, a hard year, health needs care; in the 12th, trouble from enemies.

With Mars or Saturn, the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) may bring fear of fire and of vyadhi (illness). In the 4th house, hit by papa (bad planets), it may bring fear for both parents. Say the muntha is spoiled like this in some house, in the year or at birth. Then it may ruin that house's matters. But if it is strong there, it gives that house's results.
Simple meaning: Muntha with Mars or Saturn: fear of fire, health needs care. Hit by bad planets in the 4th: worry for the parents. A spoiled muntha harms its house; a strong one gives its results.

Next, it is said in Tajikabhushana that the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) results ripen in its lord's dasha (planet period). The muntha results told here may be good, mixed, or bad in particular. Wise people should work them out in the period of the muntha lord. They judge from its strength.
Simple meaning: Muntha results come in the dasha of the muntha lord. Wise people judge them by its strength.

Yadava Suri tells one more special point. Take the birth lagna (rising sign) in sayana (tropical) degrees. Then the lord of the sign where the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) stands is the year lord here. If that lord is a shubha (good planet), tell a good result. Through a papa (bad planet), tell a bad result. This agrees with Romaka.
Simple meaning: With the birth lagna in tropical degrees, the lord of the muntha's sign is the year lord. A good planet as lord gives a good year; a bad one, a hard year.
Here ends the thinking about the muntha.

Next, it is said in Tajikabhushana how to make a prashna (question chart) for one whose birth is not known. Say the lagna (rising sign) of the birth time is not known. Then wise people should properly work out the exact lagna for the time of the question. From it they should tell all the results, good or bad, as said before. They do so by broad thinking from knowledge of the shastra (science).
Simple meaning: If the birth time is not known, cast the chart for the moment of the question, and read the year from it.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
तत्कालहोरा खचरानुसारं वर्षे विचारं विदधीत धीमान् ॥प्रश्नार्कतुल्योग्रिमवर्षभानुर्यदा तदाब्दस्य भवेत्प्रवेशः ॥

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.

Now, thinking about the year lord. It is said in Yogasudhanidhi: A young woman may have a body decked with many moods and ornaments. Her lovely eyes may stir love. Still she does not shine without a husband. The year too does not shine without a lord. So the lord of the year is told.

दिनाधीशसदृशयो रात्रीशसदृशयोर्वा मध्ये यो बलवान्स ग्राह्यः ॥ बलसाम्ये तेजःसिंहायुक्ता निसर्गास्त्रैराशिकेश्वरा ज्ञेयाइति ॥
Of the day lord and its co-lord, or the night lord and its co-lord, the strong one is taken. If strength is equal, the natural trirashipas (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) told by Tejahsimha should be used.
Simple meaning: Take the stronger of the lord and its co-lord. If equal, take Tejahsimha's natural group lords.

अथ वर्षेशार्थं पंचाधिकारिण आह समरसिंहः ॥हायनलग्नस्वामी तत्रैराशिकपतिस्तदनु ॥दिनवर्षे रविरिंदुर्निशि चैको जन्मलग्ननाथश्च ॥
Next, for the year's lordship, Samarasimha tells the five adhikaris (the planets in charge). Five are to be sought. First is the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). Then the lord of the year lagna (rising sign), then the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). By day it is the Sun, by night the Moon, only one of them. The fifth is the lord of the birth lagna.
Simple meaning: The five candidates for year lord: lords of the muntha, the year lagna, the four-sign group, the Sun's or Moon's sign, and the birth lagna.

Here 'the Sun' means the lord of the sign the Sun is in. 'The Moon' means the lord of the sign the Moon is in.
Simple meaning: 'Sun' and 'Moon' here mean the lords of the signs they stand in.

अत एव तेजास्सिंहेन स्पष्टमुक्तम् ॥वर्षाधिपाः स्युरिह पंचरवींदुराश्योरेकाधिपोह्नि निशि च क्रमतेंथिहेशः ॥संभूतिलग्नविधुरब्दविलग्नपश्च त्रैराशिपश्च पुनरेव बलं विलोक्यम् ॥
So Tejahsimha said it clearly. The year lords here are five. One is the lord of the Sun's sign by day, or of the Moon's sign by night. Then there are the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) and the lord of the birth lagna (rising sign). Then the lord of the year lagna, and the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). Then their strength must be checked.
Simple meaning: Five year lord candidates, as before. Then their strength is checked.

मणित्थोपि ॥दिवा विलग्ने रविनायकोपि रात्रौ विधोर्जन्मविलग्नपश्च ॥वर्षप्रवेशे तनुपो मुथेशस्त्रिराशिनाथः कथितोधिकारे ॥
In a day chart, the lord of the Sun's sign. In a night chart, the lord of the Moon's sign. Also the lord of the birth lagna (rising sign). At the year's entry, the lagna lord, the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord and the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). These are named for the charge of the year.
Simple meaning: Manittha's five candidates: Sun or Moon sign lord, birth lagna lord, year lagna lord, muntha lord, four-sign group lord.

The lords of the birth lagna (rising sign), the year lagna and the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) are in charge. So is the lord of the Sun's sign at the year's entry by day. By night it is the lord of the Moon's sign. So is the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). These are the planets in charge for the year's lordship.

It is told in Muktavali too. The lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is in charge. So are the lord of the year lagna (rising sign) and the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). So is the lord of the Sun's sign by day and of the Moon's sign by night. So is the lord of the birth lagna. These are the five adhikaris (the planets in charge) for the year.
Simple meaning: Muktavali lists the same five planets in charge of the year.
Verse 5.3 says to take the years gone since birth, divide by twelve, and count the remainder from the lagna. Where the count stops, that is the muntha.
Verse 5.36 says the muntha in the 9th house tends to bring a rise of fortune, with growth of duty, money and gain, and fame.
Verse 5.113 names five to look at: the lords of the muntha, the year lagna, the four-sign group and the birth lagna, and the lord of the Sun's sign by day or the Moon's sign by night.
