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.
