मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
The varshaphal month chart is the chart for each month of the year, and this chapter shows how to find it. It begins by saying the year's result does not shine without the month results.
It then gives the working: the three corrections to the Sun (the traikya) and the month entry, with worked examples. After that it reads the month by its lord, the navamsha lords and the planets in the houses. It goes on to the sub-periods in a month, the day entry and day questions such as meals and hunting, and ends with how to write out the full annual horoscope.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
पूर्वानीतभुजांशाः १९ । ३७ । ५० दशाप्तलब्धं गतखण्डं १ शेषांशाः ९ । ३७ । ५० एष्यखण्ड२०गुणाः १९२ । ३६ । ४० दशाप्ताः १९ । १५ । ४० जातं खण्डैक्यं २१ युताः ४०। १५। ४० जाता ज्या एषा षड्भै २७६ र्भक्ता लब्धकलाद्यमुदयांतरं० ॥ १८ ॥
The arc degrees found before are 19.37.50. Divided by ten, the gone part is 1. The remaining degrees are 9.37.50. Multiplied by the to-come part, 20, that is 192.36.40. Divided by ten: 19.15.40. The sum of the parts is 21. Joined: 40.15.40. This is the sine. Divided by shadbha (a fixed divisor) (276), the result in minutes and so on is the udayantara (rising-time correction): 0 [as printed].
Simple meaning: Worked example: the sine is 40.15.40. Divided by 276 it gives the rising-time correction in minutes, printed as 0.

अथ सुगमोपायेनोदयान्तरसाधनम् ॥ तत्र सायनार्कस्य द्वितीयपदे अल्पा गतांशाः ९। ४८ । ५५एषां पञ्चमांशः १ द्विघ्नः२अंशेषु हीनः७। ४८ । ५५ अर्द्धाभ्यधिकत्वादुपरि७एकयुतः ८जातमुदयांतरं पूर्वागतसमम् ॥ अथ सायनार्कस्य समपदस्थत्वादुदयान्तरं कलादि०। ८व्यर्कै धनं
Now, working out the udayantara (rising-time correction) by the easy method. The sayana (tropical) Sun is in the second quadrant. The smaller, the gone degrees, are 9.48.55. Their fifth part is 1. Doubled: 2. Taken from the degrees: 7.48.55. The part is more than half, so 1 is added to the 7: 8. This udayantara is the same as found before. The sayana Sun is in an even quadrant. So the udayantara in minutes and so on is 0.8 (seconds), plus for the Sun.
Simple meaning: Worked example: the easy method also gives a rising-time correction of 8 seconds, plus, because the Sun is in an even quadrant.

Now, finding the bhujantara (time correction for the Sun's uneven motion). There, the mean Sun is 2.23.3.37. With its own manda uchcha (high point) 2.17.20, the [apogee] less [the Sun] is 11.24.16.23. This becomes the mandakendra (the Sun's distance from its high point). It is more than nine, so it is taken from the circle: 0.5.43.37. This becomes the arc. The result below the arc's degrees, in degrees and so on, is 0.11.37. The remainder is 43.37. Multiplied by the difference between the cells, 2.19, and divided by sixty, it gives minutes and so on: 1.41. Joined with the cell result 0.11.37, it is 0.13.18. This is the Sun's manda result, in degrees and so on. Because the anomaly begins with Libra, it is minus from the mean Sun 2.23.3.37. The true Sun, roughly, is 2.22.50.19. Now the cell result for the motion is 2.17. Because the anomaly begins with Capricorn, it is minus from the mean motion 59.8: 56.50. This is the Sun's true motion in minutes and so on. Now the manda result is 00.13.18. Multiplied by ten (10), and carried up by sixty each time, it gives the Sun's seconds: the bhujantara 0.2.13. The manda result is minus, so it is minus.
Simple meaning: Worked example: the manda result is 0.13.18, minus, so the true Sun is 2.22.50.19. The true motion is 56.50 and the time correction is 0.2.13, minus.

Now, finding the charantara (day-length correction). There, the true Sun is 02.22.50.19 and the sayana (tropical) Sun is 03.09.35.37. It is more than three [signs], so it is taken from six (bha-ardha): 02.20.24.23. This becomes the arc. The number of the arc's signs is 2. The two gone charakhandas (steps of the day-length change) are 58 and 47, and their sum is 105. The remainder is 20.24.23. Multiplied by the to-come part, 19, that is 387.43.17. Divided by thirty: 12.55.26. Joined with the sum of the gone parts, 105: 117.55.26. This becomes the charardha (half the day-length difference), in palas (24-second unit). These same numbers, in seconds, are the Sun's charantara. Divided by sixty, the charantara in minutes is 1.58. The sayana Sun is in the six signs from Aries, so it is minus.
Simple meaning: Worked example: the day-length correction comes to 1 minute 58 seconds, minus, because the tropical Sun is in the Aries half.

Or, by the way told in algebra. In adding, the sum of two losses, or of two gains, is the total. Of a gain and a loss, the difference alone is the total. In this way the traikya (the sum of three corrections), the total of the three, is found: 0.1.53. The remainder is minus, so it is called minus for the Sun.
Simple meaning: Worked example: adding the three corrections as in algebra gives a traikya of 0.1.53, minus.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ सुगमोपायेन त्रैक्यानयनम् ॥ तत्र स्पष्टोर्कः०२ । २२ । ५०।१९सायनः०३ । ०९।३५।३७ अस्य भुक्तांशाः० ९।३५।३७कर्कोदयेन ३४२ गुणिताः षष्ट्योपर्युपरियुताः३२८१त्रिंशद्भक्ता लब्धं रवेर्भुक्तं पलात्मकम् १०९॥अथ मेषादिमिथुनपर्यन्तराशीनामुदयपलैक्येन ७७६ युतं ८८५ षष्टिभक्तं जातं रवेर्मेषाद्भुक्तं घट्यादि १४ । ४५ ॥ अथ मध्यमार्कः ०२ । २३ । ०३ । ३७ सायनः ०३ । ०९ । ४८ । ५५ अस्यांशाः ९९ । ४८ । ५५ षड्भक्ता लब्धं घट्यादि १६ । ३८ । उभयोरन्तरम् ० १ । ५३ जातं त्रैक्यं पूर्वागततुल्यम् ॥
Next, the traikya (the sum of the three corrections) is found by the easy method. The true Sun is 02.22.50.19. The sayana (tropical) Sun is 03.09.35.37. Its degrees gone are 09.35.37. Multiply them by 342, the rising of Cancer. Add each carry to the place above, by sixties. This gives 3281. Divide by 30. The result is 109, the Sun's gone part in pala (24-second unit). Add 776, the total rising of the signs from Aries to Gemini. This gives 885. Divide by 60. The Sun's time gone since Aries is 14.45 in ghatika (24-minute unit) and pala. Now the mean Sun is 02.23.03.37. Its sayana figure is 03.09.48.55. Its degrees are 99.48.55. Divide by 6. The result is 16.38 in ghatika and pala. The difference of the two is 01.53. This is the traikya, equal to the one found before.
Simple meaning: Finding the traikya the easy way: the true Sun and the mean Sun are each turned into time since Aries. The gap is 1.53, the same as before.

अथ मध्यमार्कघटितो रवेर्भुक्तघटिकाहीना अतस्त्रैक्यमृणात्मकज्ञातम् ॥ अथ मध्यमार्के ०२ । २३ । ०३ । ३७ त्र्यैक्यं १ । ५३ ऋणं जातस्त्रैक्यसंस्कृतो मध्यमार्कः २ । २३ । १ । ४५ ॥ अस्मादानीतं पूर्ववन्मंदफलं ० । १३ । १३ त्रैक्यसंस्कृतमध्यमार्के २ । २३ । १ । ४५ ऋणं जातस्त्रैक्यसंस्कृतः स्पष्टोर्कः सूक्ष्मतरः २ । २२ । ४८ । ३२ ॥
The Sun's gone ghatika (24-minute unit) are less than those from the mean Sun. So the traikya (the sum of the three corrections) is known to be minus. Take the mean Sun 02.23.03.37. The traikya 1.53 is minus. The mean Sun corrected by the traikya is 2.23.1.45. From this, find the manda correction (the correction for the Sun's uneven speed) as before. It is 0.13.13. Take it away from the traikya-corrected mean Sun 2.23.1.45. This gives the true Sun corrected by the traikya, 2.22.48.32. It is the finer one.
Simple meaning: The traikya 1.53 is taken away from the mean Sun. After the manda correction the true Sun is 2.22.48.32, a finer value.

Then came the entry of the 33rd year (33) of the honoured great lords. It is counted from birth by solar reckoning. It took place in Shaka 1570, on a Thursday. The day was the 12th of the bright half of Ashadha. The time was 51.15 ghatika (24-minute unit) and pala (24-second unit) gone since sunrise.
Simple meaning: The 33rd year entry of the example: Shaka 1570, Ashadha bright 12th, Thursday, 51.15 ghatika after sunrise.

There, the year lord figure is 3.24.51. The ahargana (count of days) is 86. The mean Sun, corrected by deshantara (correction for distance east or west), is 2.23.3.41. The mandakendra (the Sun's distance from its high point) is 11.24.13.10. The ayanamsha (the zodiac shift) is 17.14.6. The manda correction (the correction for the Sun's uneven speed) is 0.13.25. The udayantara (rising-time correction) is plus 9. The bhujantara (time correction for the Sun's uneven motion) is minus 02. The charantara (day-length correction) is minus 1.55. The traikya (the sum of the three corrections) is minus 1.48. The mean Sun corrected by the traikya is 2.22.1.55. The true Sun corrected by the traikya is 2.22.48.32. The true motion is 56.57. Here the birth Sun and the year Sun have come out exactly equal. So at each year entry, only the birth Sun is to be written as the true Sun.
Simple meaning: The year Sun and the birth Sun come out equal here, so at each year entry the birth Sun is written as the true Sun.

Next, to find the second month: the number of the month wanted is 2. Less one, it is 1. The table value for the month motion equal to this is 0.29.34.5. Take the mean Sun made from the birth ahargana (count of days). It is corrected by deshantara (correction for distance east or west). At the time ending the year lord figure, it is 2.22.37.21. Add the table value to it. This gives the mean Sun near the month wanted: 3.22.11.16. From this, the mandakendra (the Sun's distance from its high point) is 10.25.8.34. The manda correction (the correction for the Sun's uneven speed) is 1.15.23. The udayantara (rising-time correction) is plus 0.25. The bhujantara (time correction for the Sun's uneven motion) is minus 22. The charantara (day-length correction) is minus 1.3. The traikya (the sum of the three corrections) is minus 1.18. The mean Sun corrected by the traikya is 3.22.10.18. The true Sun corrected by the traikya is 3.20.24.57.
Simple meaning: Sun of the second month: the mean Sun is moved forward one month and the three corrections are applied. The true Sun is 3.20.24.57.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ वर्षप्रवेशकालिकोर्कः २ । २२ । ४८ । ३२ एकराशियुतः ३ । २२।४८ । ३२ जातो द्वितीयमासार्कः ॥ अथ स्वाभीष्टार्कः ३ । २०।५४ । ५७॥ मासार्क ३ । २२ । ४८ । ३२ योरंतरमंशादि १ । ५३ अस्य कला ११३ । ३५ सवर्णिताः ६८ । १५ सवर्णितार्कगत्या ३४३७ भक्ता लब्धं वारादि ०१ । ५८ । ५८ मासार्कादभीष्टार्कस्य न्यूनत्वाद्धनं अनेन वाराब्दपो ०३ । २४ । ५१ युतो जातस्संस्कृतोब्दपः ५ । २३ । ४९ अब्दपवाराधस्था एव मासप्रवेशघटिका द्वितीयमासप्रवेशस्य २३ । ४९ ॥
Next, the Sun at the year entry, 2.22.48.32, joined with one sign, is 3.22.48.32. This is the Sun of the second month. Then the Sun wanted is 3.20.54.57. The difference between the month Sun 3.22.48.32 and the Sun wanted is 1.53 in degrees and minutes. Its minutes are 113.35. Made into one unit, they are 68.15. Divide by the true motion of the Sun in the same unit, 3437. The result is 01.58.58 in days, ghatika (24-minute unit) and pala (24-second unit). The Sun wanted is less than the month Sun, so this is added. Add it to the year lord weekday figure 03.24.51. This gives the corrected year lord figure, 5.23.49. The month entry ghatika of the second month entry are those below the weekday: 23.49.
Simple meaning: Second month entry time: the gap between the two Suns, divided by the Sun's motion, is added to the year figure. The entry is at 23.49.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथ मासप्रवेशवारार्थं जन्माहर्गणः ८६ द्वितीयमासप्रवेशादेकात्रिंश ३१ युत ११६ संस्कृताब्दपवार ५ युतः १२१ सप्ततष्टः २ अत्र सूर्य्यवाराद्गणनया वारवर्तमानस्सोमवारो जातः ॥ एवं वर्षप्रवेशदिनात्रिंशद्दिननिकटस्थसोमवारे उदयाद्गतघटीपलेषु २३।४९ द्वितीयमासप्रवेशो जातः एवमन्यमाससाधनं दिनप्रवेशसाधनं च कर्तव्यम् ॥
Next, for the weekday of the month entry, the birth ahargana (count of days) is 86. For the second month entry, add 31. This gives 116. Add the corrected year lord weekday, 5. This gives 121. Remove the sevens. The remainder is 2. Counting from Sunday, the weekday here comes out Monday. So the second month entry took place on the Monday nearest to the thirtieth day after the year entry day. It was at 23.49 ghatika (24-minute unit) and pala (24-second unit) gone since sunrise. The other months and the day entries are to be worked out in the same way.
Simple meaning: Weekday of the second month entry: 86 plus 31 plus 5, less the sevens, leaves 2, a Monday. The entry is at 23.49.

Next, the month entry by another method. Here the mean Sun without any correction is 03.22.11.26. The mandakendra (the Sun's distance from its high point) is 10.25.8.34. The manda correction (the correction for the Sun's uneven speed) is 01.15.23, minus. The true Sun is 03.20.56.03. Then the Sun of the month is 03.22.48.32. The difference between the two, in minutes, is 01.12.29. Divide it by the Sun's motion, 57.17. The result is 01.57.50 in days, ghatika (24-minute unit) and pala (24-second unit). Add it to the year lord weekday figure 03.24.51. The weekday figure found by adding is 5.22.41. Here the traikya (the sum of the three corrections) was minus in the earlier Sun. So add the traikya, 01.18 in ghatika and pala, to the corrected year lord ghatika, 22.41. This gives 23.59.
Simple meaning: Month entry by the second method: the gap between the two Suns, divided by the Sun's motion, is added to the year figure. With the traikya added, this gives 23.59, before the place correction of the next line.

Likewise, the Sun's deshantara (correction for distance east or west) is plus, 10. So it is minus from the 59 pala (24-second unit) of the weekday figure. This leaves 49. The month entry time in ghatika (24-minute unit) and pala is 23.59. It is the same as the one found before. Here too, the weekday of the month entry is to be found as before. For the month entry, there is no other finer method than this that comes with its reasoning.
Simple meaning: Month entry, place correction: 10 pala come off the time, and it matches the time found by the first method. No finer method with reasoning exists.

Next, the month results, from the Varsha Tantra. At the time of the month entry too, one should work out the great houses. There, the lord of the month's lagna (rising sign) is one [candidate]. So are the lord of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) and the birth lord.
Simple meaning: Month results: cast the month chart. The candidates for month lord are the lords of the month lagna, the muntha and the birth lagna.

Here Yadava states a special point. The lord of the year lagna (rising sign) is to be taken as the birth lagna lord. Next, the lord of the month's lagna is the second. These two and the three said before make five. Among them, the month lord is to be made here as the year lord is.
Simple meaning: Month lord: the five candidates move one place. The year lagna lord stands for the birth lagna lord, and the month lagna lord for the year lagna lord.

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.

In the Tajikabhushana. Take the lord of the navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of the lagna (rising sign) lord. Say it has friendship with the lord of the lagna's navamsha. Say it also has a look called friendly, and a joining. Then that month is good. If it is reversed, it is otherwise.
Simple meaning: Month lord by navamsha: friendship, a friendly look and joining between the two navamsha lords make the month good. The reverse makes it otherwise.

Verse 8.1 says the year's result has been told at length and in brief, but without the month result it does not shine. So the way to find the months is given.
Verse 8.125 says the result is best when the planet is in a luck house, its own house or its high point, or is looked at by a friend or stands in a friend's house. Otherwise it is lesser.
Verse 8.194 gives an example: a Venus period of 6 days gives one day each to Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu and Jupiter.
