मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अयमर्थः ॥ पञ्चाधिकारिमध्ये जन्मलग्नपस्थाने वर्षलग्नपस्स्थाप्यः ॥ वर्षलग्नपस्थाने मासलग्नपस्स्थाप्यः ॥ मुंथेशत्रैराशिकेशचंद्रार्कराशिपाः पूर्ववन्मासलग्नतो ज्ञेयाः ॥ एवं पञ्चाधिकारिमध्ये वर्षेशवन्मासपः कार्यः ॥
This is the meaning. Among the five adhikari (the planets in charge), put the year lagna lord in the place of the birth lagna lord. In the place of the year lagna lord, put the month lagna lord. The lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) is found as before. So are the trirashipa (lord of Balabhadra's four-sign group) and the lord of the Moon's or the Sun's sign. All are found from the month lagna. So among the five adhikari, the month lord is made as the year lord is.
Simple meaning: Month lord: in the list of five, the year lagna lord takes the birth lagna lord's place and the month lagna lord takes the year lagna lord's place. The other three are found from the month lagna.
ताजिकभूषणे ॥
Month lord by navamsha: friendship, a friendly look and joining between the two navamsha lords make the month good. The reverse makes it otherwise.
लग्नेश्वरांशाधिपतिर्विलग्ननवांशनाथेश्वरयोर्बलीयान् ॥
Month lord: of the two navamsha lords, the stronger one is the month lord.
द्रविणलाभमतीव महोत्सवं नरपतेर्गुरुगौरवमादिशेत् ॥
Sun as month lord: gain of wealth, a great festival, honour from the king, and no rise of enemies.
