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.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
एतेषु बलवाँल्लग्नं पश्येद्यः सोब्दनायकः ॥अनीक्षमाणो लग्नं च सबलोप्यब्दपो नहि ॥
Among these, the planet that is strong and sees the lagna (rising sign) is the year lord. A planet that does not see the lagna is not year lord, even if it is strong.
Simple meaning: Year lord, the strong one: the strong planet that looks at the lagna becomes year lord. One that does not look at the lagna does not, even if strong.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
यादवोपि ॥जन्मलग्नपतिरिन्थिहाधिपोहर्निशं रविशशांकराशिपाः ॥स्युस्त्रिराशिपतिरब्दलग्नपाः पंचहायनयतित्वयोग्यकाः ॥
The lord of the janma lagna (rising sign at birth), and the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year). By day the lord of the Sun's sign, by night the lord of the Moon's sign. The trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group), and the lord of the lagna (rising sign) of the year chart (chart for the year). These five are fit to be year lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, the five candidates: birth lagna lord, muntha lord, the Sun's or Moon's sign lord, four-sign group lord and year lagna lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
लग्नं प्रपश्येदधिवीर्य एषां वर्षेश्वरः स्यादथ दृष्ट्यभावे ॥वीर्याधिपो नाब्दविभुर्विवीर्यो लग्नं प्रपश्येदपि हायनेशः ॥वीर्ये समानेपि तनुं प्रपश्येदृष्ट्याधिको वर्षपतिर्विधेयः ॥
Among these, the strongest planet that sees the lagna (rising sign) becomes the year lord. If there is no aspect, the strongest one is not year lord. Even a weak planet that sees the lagna is year lord. If strength is equal too, the one that sees the lagna with more aspect is made year lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, aspect decides: the strongest planet that looks at the lagna is year lord. If it does not look, a weaker one that does can be year lord. If strength is equal, more aspect wins.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिककौस्तुभेपि ॥एषां यः खचरस्तनुम्बहुदृशा पश्येत्स वर्षाधिपो दृक्साम्येधिबलश्च तेजसि समेनैकाधिकारी नृपः ॥तत्साम्ये मुथहापतिस्स यदि नोपश्येत्तदा ह्यर्कपो रात्रौ चंद्रभपोत्र नो यदि विधुः प्रोक्तस्त्रिभेशस्तदा ॥
Among these, the planet that sees the lagna (rising sign) with the most aspect is the year lord. If the aspect is equal, the stronger one is year lord. If their power is also equal, the one in charge of more than one place is the ruler. If that is equal too, the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is year lord. If he does not see the lagna, take the lord of the Sun's sign by day. At night, take the lord of the Moon's sign. If that one does not see it, the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) is named.
Simple meaning: Year lord, order of choice: most aspect to the lagna, then strength, then most charges, then the muntha lord, then the Sun's or Moon's sign lord, then the four-sign group lord.

This table lists, for the twelve signs from Aries, the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) by day and by night, and a third lord. Day lords: Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus, Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus, Sun, Venus, Saturn, Venus. Night lords: Jupiter, Moon, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, Mercury, Jupiter, Jupiter, Moon, Mercury, Mars. Third lords: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Moon, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Moon, Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Moon.
Simple meaning: Table: the day, night and third lord of each sign, used to find the four-sign group lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
न पश्येत्स चन्द्रो न चंद्रेत्थशालः स चेन्नैव पश्येत्तदा लग्नपः स्यात् ॥न पश्येच्च लग्नं तदा नोसमेशः समेशं विना मृत्युरेव प्रदिष्ट इति ॥
Suppose he does not see the lagna (rising sign). Nor does the Moon, nor the planet in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the Moon. If none of them sees it, the lord of the lagna becomes year lord. If the lagna lord does not see the lagna either, there is no year lord. Without a year lord, there may be danger to life, it is said.
Simple meaning: Year lord when no one looks at the lagna: the Moon, or the planet in ithasala with it, then the lagna lord. If none looks, the year needs great care.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
वामनोपि ॥दृष्ट्याभावे तु संग्राह्यस्तस्मादल्पबलो ग्रहः ॥समसंख्याबले जाते तदा दृष्ट्याधिकः पतिः ॥
When [the strong one] has no aspect, take a planet with less strength than it. If the strength count is equal, the one with more aspect is the lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, the strong one does not look: take a weaker planet that looks. If strength is equal, the one with more aspect.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
यादवः ॥दृष्टौ समायां बहवोधिकारा यस्येषु वर्ग्यां शरदीश्वरस्सः ॥
When the aspect is equal, look at the group of five. The planet that holds the most charges there is the year lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, equal aspect: among the five, the planet holding the most charges is year lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
समरसिंहोपि ॥वर्षपतित्वे दृष्टे प्रचुराणां पंचवर्गिकाणां ॥मध्ये यस्य बहवोधिकारास्तस्यैश्वर्यं हि परिकल्पमत्र
For the year lordship: many of the group of five may be seen to aspect [the lagna (rising sign)]. Among them, the one holding the most charges gets the lordship. This is to be fixed here.
Simple meaning: Year lord, many look at the lagna: among the five, the one holding the most charges gets the lordship.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
दृष्टिसमत्वे जन्मलग्नपवर्षलग्नपेत्याद्युक्ताधिकारपंचकमध्ये यस्य बहवोधिकाराः स एव वर्षाधिप इत्युक्तम् ॥
When the aspect is equal, look at the five charges named before. They include the lord of the janma lagna (rising sign at birth). They include the lord of the lagna (rising sign) of the year chart (chart for the year), and the rest. The planet holding the most of these charges is the year lord. So it is said.
Simple meaning: Year lord, equal aspect: the planet in charge of the most places among the five is year lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकसारे ॥यदाब्दलग्नं बहवो न भोगाः ॥ पश्यंति चेत्थं च दिवौकसां हि ॥मध्येधिकारा बहवोपि यस्य दृष्टिस्तदा चंद्रमसेत्थशालः ॥केनापि सोब्दाधिपतिर्विनेत्थशालं तदा यस्तनुपः प्रदिष्टः ॥
Suppose most planets do not see the lagna (rising sign) of the year chart (chart for the year) in this way. Then, among them, the planet holding the most charges [is year lord], if it has aspect. Else, the planet in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the Moon is year lord, whichever it is. Without ithasala, the lord of the lagna is named.
Simple meaning: Year lord, few look at the lagna: the planet with most charges, or the one in ithasala with the Moon, else the lagna lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकतिलकेप्येवमेवोक्तम् ॥पश्येन्न लग्नं यदि पंचमध्ये को वा तदा बह्वधिकारनाथः ॥एवं न चेत्स्याद्बहुवीर्यखेटोह्यस्याप्यभावेब्दविलग्नपेन ॥स्यान्मूथशीलं शरदीश्वरोस्याभावे भवेन्मुंथहनाथ ईश इति ॥
The same is said in Tajikatilaka. Suppose none of the five sees the lagna (rising sign). Then the planet holding the most charges [is year lord]. If there is none such, take the planet with the most strength. If even that is missing, the planet in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the year lagna lord is year lord. If that is missing too, the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is the lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, no one looks at the lagna: first the planet in charge of most places, then the strongest, then the one in ithasala with the year lagna lord, then the muntha lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ पंचाधिकारिणां दृष्टयभावे वर्षलग्नेशोब्दप इत्युक्तं मुक्तावल्याम् ॥पंचाधिकारिणो लग्नं न पश्यंति यदा तदा ॥वर्षलग्नेश्वरो यस्तु स एवाब्दपतिर्भवेत् ॥
Next, Muktavali says what happens when none of the five adhikari (the planet in charge) sees the lagna (rising sign). Then the lord of the year chart (chart for the year) lagna is year lord. When the five in charge do not see the lagna, the year lagna lord alone is year lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, no one looks at the lagna: the lord of the year chart lagna becomes year lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
एवंविधे विषये प्रकारांतरमुक्तं ताजिकभूषणे ॥पश्येन्न कश्चिद्यदि वर्षलग्नं तल्लग्नराशिर्जननेपि येन ॥दृष्टोधिपः स्यान्न च तत्र दृष्टस्तदेंथिहेशोपि विचिंतनीय इति ॥
In such a case, Tajikabhushana gives another way. Suppose no planet sees the lagna (rising sign) of the year chart (chart for the year). Then the planet that saw that lagna sign in the birth chart too is the lord. If it was not seen there either, the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is to be thought of.
Simple meaning: Year lord, no one looks at the year lagna: take the planet that looked at that sign at birth, else the muntha lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र पंचाधिकारिणां दृष्टयभावे यादवसूरिमतेन परिणामे मुथहेशो वर्षपः तत्तुकज्योतिर्विन्मतेन वर्षलग्नेशः ॥
Here, none of the five adhikari (the planet in charge) sees the lagna (rising sign). In the view of Yadava Suri, the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is year lord in the end. In the view of the astrologer Tuka, the year lagna lord is year lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, no one looks at the lagna: Yadava says the muntha lord. The astrologer Tuka says the year lagna lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
गणेशदैवज्ञमतेन पंचाधिकारिमध्ये जन्मनि वर्षलग्ननिरीक्षकस्तत्र विषयव्यवस्थात्रयाणामेषां मध्ये यः ॥ स्थानादिषड्बलेनाधिकबलस्स एव वर्षेशः ॥
In the view of Ganesha Daivajna, three planets stand for these cases. One is the planet of the five that sees the year lagna (rising sign) in the birth chart. Among these three, the one stronger in the six strengths, place strength and the rest, is year lord.
Simple meaning: Year lord, Ganesha's view: of the three choices (muntha lord, year lagna lord, the planet that looked at the year lagna at birth), the stronger one wins.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ननु पूर्वं यादवेन बहुवीर्यखेट उक्तस्तत्र बहुवीर्यखेटः सामान्यपंचवर्ग्यादशाधिकबलः विशेषबलः पंचरूपाधिकबलो भवति ॥ नतु तन्न्यूनबलः ॥ अत्र तु त्रयाणां मध्ये यस्यैव किञ्चिद्बलाधिक्यं तस्यैव वर्षेश्वरत्वमिति सर्वंसुस्थम् ॥
Objection: earlier Yadava spoke of 'the planet with much strength'. There, much strength means over ten in the general panchavargi (five-part strength). In special strength, it means over five rupa (unit of strength). It does not mean less than that. But here, among the three, the one with even a little more strength is year lord. So everything fits.
Simple meaning: Year lord, the word 'much strength': it means a clear lead, but here a small lead among the three is enough.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
यदैते त्रयोपि समबलास्तदा यादवगणेशदैवज्ञताजिकतिलकोक्त्या मुथहेश एव वर्षेश इति तत्वम् ॥
When these three are equal in strength, the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) alone is the year lord. This is the truth, by the words of Yadava, Ganesha Daivajna and Tajikatilaka.
Simple meaning: Year lord, equal strength: the muntha lord is year lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथाज्ञातजन्मनः प्रश्नपत्रे वर्षेशानयनं ताजिकसारे ॥प्रश्नांगपो वर्षपतिः प्रकल्प्यस्तुर्येश्वरो जन्मविलग्ननाथः ॥मुन्थाधिपः प्रश्नविलग्नतश्च त्रैराशिपो घस्रपतिः पुरावदिति ॥
Next, finding the year lord in the question chart of one whose birth is not known, from Tajikasara. The lord of the lagna (rising sign) of the question is to be taken as year lord. The 4th lord stands for the birth lagna lord. The lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is found from the question lagna. The trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) and the day lord are as before.
Simple meaning: Year lord from a question chart: use the question lagna lord, the 4th lord for the birth lagna lord, the muntha lord from the question lagna, the four-sign group lord and the day lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
यदा पुनर्मुथहेशो वर्षेशो जातस्तदा विशेषमाह समरसिंहः ॥मुथहेशो वर्षपतिः स्थाप्योस्मिन्नस्तगे फलंन शुभम् ॥जन्मनि यस्मिन् राशौ तस्मिन्वर्षे स्थितः फलम्पूर्णम् ॥
When the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) becomes year lord, Samarasimha adds a point. The muntha lord is made year lord. If it is set [near the Sun], the result is not good. If in the year it stands in the same sign as at birth, the result is full.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord as year lord: if it is set near the Sun, the year is not good. In its birth sign again, the result is full.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अयमर्थः ॥ मुथहेशो जन्मनि शुभस्थानगो वर्षेपि शुभस्थानगतस्तदा शुभं फलम्पूर्णम् ॥ उभयत्रानिष्टस्थानगस्तदा अशुभम्फलम्पूर्णम् ॥ यदा जन्मनि शुभस्थानगो वर्षे अशुभस्थानगस्तदा वर्षपूर्वार्द्धे अशुभम्फलम् ॥ वर्षोत्तरार्द्धे शुभम्फलं विपरीते विपरीतम्फलं ज्ञेयमित्यर्थः ॥
This is the meaning. Suppose the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is in a good place at birth. If it is also in a good place in the year, the result is full and good. If it is in a bad place in both, the result is fully bad. If it is good at birth but bad in the year, the first half of the year gives bad results. The second half gives good results. In the opposite case, know the result to be the opposite.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord as year lord: good in both charts, a good year; bad in both, a hard year; good then bad, bad first half and good second half.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
चन्द्रैश्वर्य्ये तु येनेन्दुर्भवेत्पूर्णेत्थशालकृत् ॥स वर्षेशोभवेन्नूनं नोचेन्मुथशिलन्तदा ॥
Next, a special point about the Moon as year lord, from Muktavali. When the Moon has the lordship, the planet with which the Moon makes full ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) is surely the year lord. If there is none, then the planet in ithasala.
Simple meaning: Moon as year lord: the planet that makes full ithasala with the Moon is the year lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
चन्द्रराशीश्वरोब्देशस्सचेदिन्दुर्भवेद्यदा ॥तत्फलं सूर्यवद्वेद्यं श्रेष्ठमध्याधमन्तदा ॥चन्द्रधात्वनुसारेण खिन्धिकस्येति सम्मतमिति ॥
The lord of the Moon's sign may be year lord, and that may be the Moon itself. Then know its result to be like the Sun's: best, middle or lowest. This goes by the Moon's dhatu (body tissue / state). This is the view of Khindhika.
Simple meaning: Moon as year lord in its own sign: results run like the Sun's, best, middle or lowest, by the Moon's state.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र चन्द्रश्चेत्रैराशिकेश्वरस्तदा चन्द्र एव वर्षेश्वरो ज्ञेयस्त्रैराशिकेश्वरत्वाभावे येन चन्द्रो मुथशिली स एव वर्षप इति ॥
Here, if the Moon is the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group), know the Moon to be the year lord. If the Moon is not the trirashipa, the planet in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the Moon is year lord.
Simple meaning: Moon as year lord: the Moon if it is the four-sign group lord, else the planet in ithasala with it.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
विशेष उक्तस्तेजास्सिंहेन ॥दृष्ट्यादिकैरपि समोह्निरविर्निशीन्दुस्त्रैराशिकोत्थविभुताभृदसौ न चेत्स्यात् ॥स्याद्वा तदा मुथशिली चरगेन येन स्थाप्यः पतिस्सतमृतेशशिराशिपस्तु ॥
Tejahsimha adds a point. Suppose aspect and the rest are equal. Then the Sun by day, or the Moon by night, is year lord. This holds if it is the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). If not, set as lord the planet that makes ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with it. Without that, take the lord of the Moon's sign.
Simple meaning: Equal candidates: the Sun by day or the Moon by night, if it is the four-sign group lord; else its ithasala partner; else the Moon's sign lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ग्रहज्ञाभरणेपि ॥त्रैराशिकेशो न भवेद्यदीन्दुश्चंद्रेश्वरत्वेपि खगेन येन ॥मुख्यास्ययोगोस्य स ईश उक्तो विना तमिंदोर्गृहपोब्दपः स्यादिति ॥
Suppose the Moon has the lordship but is not the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group). Then the planet with which the Moon makes the chief yoga (planet combination) is called the lord. Without that planet, the lord of the Moon's sign is year lord.
Simple meaning: Moon not four-sign group lord: the planet in the chief yoga with the Moon is year lord, else the lord of the Moon's sign.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मुख्ययोगो इत्थशालाख्यः ॥
The chief yoga (planet combination) is the one called ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect).
Simple meaning: Gloss: the chief yoga is ithasala.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र विशेषान्तरमाह वैद्यनाथः ॥वर्षे चन्द्रेत्थशाला तु योब्दपस्तस्य जन्मनि ॥कम्बूलमिन्दुना जन्म रात्रौ वर्षे तदोत्तममिति ॥
Here Vaidyanatha gives another point. The year lord may be in ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the Moon in the year. Suppose at birth it had kambula (the Moon supporting the link of two planets) with the Moon, and the birth was at night. Then the year is the best.
Simple meaning: Year lord in ithasala with the Moon: if it also had kambula with the Moon at a night birth, the year is the best.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र पञ्चाधिकारिणाम्मध्ये पञ्चवर्ग्याबलयुतोपि लग्नदृशडुरिःफोक्तनिर्बलग्रहलक्षणयुतो वर्षेशो न भवतीत्यपि विशेषो ध्येयः ॥
Here, a planet among the five adhikari (the planet in charge) may be strong in panchavargi (five-part strength). But it may have the marks of a weak planet, as told before. Then it does not become year lord. Keep this special point in mind. (Our text is unclear here: a damaged word before 'as told'; it seems to name not seeing the lagna, and the 6th and 12th houses.)
Simple meaning: Year lord, a strong planet with weak marks: a planet strong in the five-part count but with marks of weakness is not year lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र वर्षेशसामान्यफलमाह समरसिंहः ॥सपदि शुभयुतदृष्टः षष्ठाष्टांत्य ६।८।१२ गृहवर्जितोभ्युदितः॥सर्वाधिकारयुक्तो जन्मनि वर्षे च सदृशबलः ॥
Here Samarasimha tells the general result of the year lord. The year lord is joined or seen by good planets. It is not in the 6th, 8th or 12th house. It is risen. It holds all the charges. It has equal strength at birth and in the year.
Simple meaning: Year lord, the best case: joined or seen by good planets, not in the 6th, 8th or 12th, risen, holding all charges, equally strong at birth and in the year.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
तदशेषमुत्तमं स्यात्स्वामित्वं वपुषि बलमतोव सुखम् ॥महतः स्थानस्याप्तिं तदनु च जन्मग्रहानुसाराच्च ॥
Then everything is very good. There is authority, strength in the body, much happiness and gain of a high position. After that, the results follow the planets of the birth chart.
Simple meaning: Year lord, full good results: authority, body strength, happiness and a high position, then results follow the birth chart.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अयमर्थः । वर्षेशो जन्मनि सत्स्थानगतः शुभदृष्टश्चेद्भवति । तदा शुभं वर्षफलमविकलं स्यात् । दुष्टस्थानादिगतः पापदृष्टश्चेद्भवति तदा दुष्टफलमविकलं वाच्यम् ॥ मिश्रत्वे मिश्रफलम् ॥
This is the meaning. The year lord may be in a good place at birth and seen by good planets. Then the year's result is fully good. It may be in a bad place or the like, and seen by bad planets. Then say the result is fully bad. If it is mixed, the result is mixed.
Simple meaning: Year lord, good, bad and mixed results: good place and good planets, a good year; bad place and bad planets, a hard year; mixed gives mixed.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ताजिकसारे ॥केंद्रत्रिकोणायगतेब्दनाथे सौम्ये च रम्यः सकलस्तदाब्दः ॥षडष्टरिःफोपगते विवीर्ये कष्टप्रदोसौ गदितो मुनींद्रैः ॥
The year lord may be in a kendra (corner house), a trikona (luck house) or the 11th, and be a good planet. Then the whole year is pleasant. If it is weak and in the 6th, 8th or 12th, the great sages say it brings hardship.
Simple meaning: Year lord in a corner, luck or 11th house, and a good planet: a pleasant year. Weak in the 6th, 8th or 12th: a hard year.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मुंथाब्दभुग्रन्ध्र ८ समांगनाथा नास्तंगता वीर्ययुतास्तमब्दम् ॥रम्यं सुखार्थागमनं विलासं कुर्वंति ते व्यस्तमतो विलोमम् ॥
Take four planets. They are the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year), the year lord, the 8th lord and the year lagna (rising sign) lord. Suppose they are not set and have strength. Then they make the year pleasant. They bring happiness, wealth and enjoyment. In the opposite case, the opposite comes.
Simple meaning: Muntha lord, year lord, 8th lord and year lagna lord: if strong and not set, a pleasant year with money and comfort; the opposite, the reverse.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ समाधिपतौ त्रिषडायगे खलखगे सकलं सबले शुभम् ॥व्ययविनाशगतेऽब्दपतौ तदा न च शुभं गदितं मुनिभिर्नृणामिति ॥
Next, the year lord may be in the 3rd, 6th or 11th. If it is a bad planet that is strong, the whole year is good. If the year lord is in the 12th or 8th, the sages have not called it good for people.
Simple meaning: Year lord in the 3rd, 6th or 11th: good if strong. In the 12th or 8th: not good.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मैत्रे सौम्ये स्वे च वर्गे स्थितोथत्यक्त्वाष्टांत्यद्विद् ८।१२ ।६ जयो चोचरस्थः॥मित्रैस्सौम्यैर्दृष्टयुक्तोर्कमुक्तो दत्तेब्देशः सर्वशर्माखिलाब्दम् ॥
Next, Tejahsimha adds a point. The year lord stands in a friend's, a good planet's or its own varga (division of a sign). It is away from the 8th, 12th and 6th houses, and stands high. It is seen or joined by friends and good planets, and is free from the Sun. Such a year lord gives every comfort for the whole year.
Simple meaning: Year lord in a friendly place, away from the 6th, 8th and 12th, free from the Sun: a year of all comfort.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
वक्रेथवाब्दजनुषोरपि सर्वकार्ये स्यात् प्रात्यलोम्यविफलत्वधनक्षयाद्यम् ॥अस्ते हतेपि च तदेव तथैव लग्ननाथेंथिहाधिपदशापतयो विचिंत्याः ॥जन्माब्द योरपि हतेब्ददशाधिपेरिरंध्रांत्यगेब्दमसदन्यशुभेपि योगे ॥
The year lord may be retrograde, in the year or at birth. Then there may be setbacks, failure and loss of wealth in all work. The same holds when it is set or struck. Think of the lagna (rising sign) lord, the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) lord and the dasha (planet period) lords the same way. The lord of the year's dasha may be struck at birth or in the year. Or it may be in the 6th, 8th or 12th. Then the year is bad, even with another good yoga (planet combination).
Simple meaning: Year lord retrograde, set or struck: a year of trouble and loss of money. The same if the dasha lord is in the 6th, 8th or 12th.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अब्ददशाधिपो वर्षेशः ॥
The lord of the year's dasha (planet period) is the year lord.
Simple meaning: Gloss: the lord of the year's dasha is the year lord.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
वर्षेश्वरोमुथशिली च भवेद्यदैको नाथेन तत्सदनधातुफलं ददाति ॥रम्यं विरूपमपि वीर्यवशात्तयोस्तद्भावेक्षणाच्च परिचिंत्य धिया विधेयम् ॥
Suppose the year lord makes ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with one lord. It then gives the result of that lord's house and dhatu (body tissue / state). The result may be pleasant or unpleasant. Judge it with care by the strength of the two and by the look on that house.
Simple meaning: Year lord in ithasala with one lord: it gives the result of that lord's house and state, good or not by their strength.
वर्षेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र वर्षेशो वर्षलग्नाधीशेन मुथशिलं करोति वर्षलग्नाधीशो वा बलवान् तदा भूपात्सुखं वाच्यम् ॥ तथा वर्षेशो वर्षलग्नपेन सहेश राफयोगं करोति लग्नपो वा हीनबलस्तदा भूपादसुखं वाच्यम् ॥
Here, the year lord may make ithasala (planets moving toward an exact aspect) with the lord of the year chart (chart for the year) lagna (rising sign). Or that lagna lord may be strong. Then say there is comfort from the king. Or the year lord may make israpha (planets moving apart after an aspect) with the year chart lagna lord. Or that lagna lord may be weak. Then say there is discomfort from the king.
Simple meaning: Year lord and year lagna lord: ithasala or a strong lagna lord brings comfort from the king; israpha or a weak one brings discomfort.
