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
लाभे धनोपचयसौख्ययशोभिवृद्धिसन्मित्रसंगबलपुष्टिकरास्तु सर्वे ॥क्रूरा बलेन रहिताः सुतवित्तबुद्धिनाशं शुभास्तु तनुते स्वफलस्य वृद्धिम् ॥११॥
In the 11th house, all planets bring growth of wealth, comfort and fame. They bring the company of good friends, and strength and nourishment. Papa (bad planets) without strength may take away sons, wealth and sense. Shubha (good planets) spread the growth of their own results.
Simple meaning: Short house results, 11th house: all planets bring growth of money, comfort, fame, good friends and strength. Weak harsh planets may cost children, wealth and sense. Good planets increase their own results.

पापा व्यये नेत्ररुजं विवादं हानिं धनानान्नृपतस्करादेः ॥सौम्या व्ययं सद्व्यवहारमार्गे कुर्युः शनिर्हर्षविवृद्धिमत्र ॥ १२ ॥

मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्रेदं भावफलं संक्षेपेणोक्तं मासप्रवेशलग्ने पद्मकोशोक्तं भावफलं मणित्थोक्तं वा स्वबुद्ध्या यथायोग्यं यथासंभवं च लेखनीयम् ॥
Here, this house result has been told in brief. In the month-entry lagna (rising sign), the house result told in the Padmakosha (a text) or by Manittha (a teacher) is to be written. It is written as fits and as is possible, by one's own understanding.
Simple meaning: House results: the above is brief. For the month chart, write the fuller results from the Padmakosha or Manittha, as they fit.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अथान्यो विशेषः ॥ वर्षप्रवेशलग्ने द्रव्यं पुत्रजायालाभविवाहारिष्टयोगोन्यतो मासप्रवेशलग्नेपि यस्मिन्मासे तत्संभवस्तस्मिन्मासेऽवश्यं तत्फलं वाच्यमिति ॥
Now, another special point. In the year-entry lagna (rising sign) there may be wealth, or a combination for sons, wife, gain, marriage or arishta (harm in the year). Suppose the same comes about elsewhere, in the month-entry lagna too. Then in whichever month that happens, its result must surely be told for that month.
Simple meaning: Events in a month: if the year chart promises wealth, children, wife, gain, marriage or harm, and the month chart shows it too, tell it for that month.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
मासे हीनांशादिदशाः सर्वाः पूर्वदशाध्याये निरूपिता एव ॥
In the month, all the dashas (planet periods) beginning with the hinamsha dasha (period by least degrees) were already explained in the earlier dasha chapter.
Simple meaning: Periods in the month: the hinamsha and the other periods were already taught in the dasha chapter.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
विशेषमाह यादवः ॥फलं च सर्वं प्रथमोक्तवच्च मासप्रमाणेपि दशा च कार्या ॥प्राग्वच्च तस्या हि फलानि पञ्च विशेषमत्र प्रथमं ब्रवीमीति ॥
Yadava states a special point. The whole result is like the one told first. The dasha (planet period) is to be made for the length of a month too. As before, it has five results. Here I first tell the special point.
Simple meaning: Periods in the month: results are as before, and the period is made for a month's length. Five results, and a special point is given first.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
ये हद्दभागाः कथिताः क्रियादौ मासप्रवेशांगमते च तस्मिन् ॥तावत्प्रमाणा हि दशा च तेषां ज्ञेया ग्रहाणामिह रौमकोक्ता ॥अजेविलग्नेंगरसेभबाणादशाब्द ६ शु ६ ज्ञा ८ र ५ शनैश्चराणाम् ॥५॥
The hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign) degrees were told, starting with Aries. In that month-entry lagna (rising sign) teaching, the dasha (planet period) of those planets is of just that measure. This is to be known as told by Romaka (a foreign teaching). With Aries as the lagna, the periods are anga (6), rasa (6), ibha (8) and bana (5). They belong to [Jupiter] 6, Venus 6, Mercury 8, Mars 5, and Saturn. Our text gives Saturn no figure of his own. (Our text is unclear here: the syllable before the first 6, where Jupiter's name is expected.)
Simple meaning: Hadda periods in the month, from Romaka: each planet's period is as long as its hadda. Aries lagna: Jupiter 6, Venus 6, Mercury 8, Mars 5; Saturn's figure is not given.

तथैवमग्रेपि फलानि तासां ग्रहस्वरूपे तु समग्रकाणि ॥

Of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year) and the lagna (rising sign), take the sign lord that is strong. There, the hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign) lords are the dasha (planet period) lords. They run for days equal to their own degrees. So some have said, from the traditional texts.
Simple meaning: Hadda periods in the month: take the stronger sign lord of the muntha and the month lagna. In that sign the hadda lords rule in turn, one day per degree.
मासप्रवेशादिविचाराध्यायः
अत्र विशेषमाह वामनः ॥स्वहद्दे मित्रहद्दे वा दिनमासदशा तथा ॥हद्दां पश्यति यः खेटः फलं तस्योत्तमं भवेत् ॥

Simple meaning: Hadda periods, Vamana: in its own or a friend's hadda the day and month periods are likewise. A planet looking at the hadda gives the best result.

Here Yadava states how to find the antardashas (sub-periods). By judging strength, one should know their good and bad results, the same as before. The sub-periods are of one day each: Sun 1, Moon 1, Mars 1, Rahu 1, Jupiter 1, Saturn 1, Mercury 1, Ketu 1 and Venus (Ushanas). They run from the lord of that [dasha].
Simple meaning: Sub-periods in the month: Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus, one day each, starting from the period's own lord. Results are judged by strength.

Here [the sub-periods] are known like the results of the muntha (the point that moves one sign each year), the month lord's dasha (planet period) and so on. Here is a special point. Take a planet in the birth chart or in the year. Say it is in its own house or its own uchcha (high point). Or it is in its own or a friend's hadda (a planet's own small part of a sign) and so on. Or good planets may join it or look at it. Its period is good. The period of a planet in its nicha (low point), in an enemy's house, or set is bad. So is the period of the lord of the fallen houses, the 6th, 8th and 12th. For Jupiter, sorrow arises. The Moon is bad in these: 4, 8, 2, 1, 9.
Simple meaning: Sub-periods are judged like the muntha and month lord. A planet strong or helped by good planets gives a good period. A weak or badly placed one gives a poor period.
