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.

गुरुणा युक्तदृक् सौम्यो भयव्याधिनिकृंतनः ॥शत्रुनाशो नरेंद्रादिसन्मानो महतीयता ॥
When Mercury is joined or aspected by Jupiter, it cuts away fear and illness. Enemies are put down. Kings and others give honour. The person gains greatness.
Simple meaning: Mercury with Jupiter: fear and illness ease, enemies fall away and respect grows.
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.
