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.

अरि ६ विनाश ८ गतस्तनुनायकः खलखगैः सहितः सुरपूजितः ॥तनुभृतां प्रकरोति दिने व्यथां गदपदं बहुलं विबलो यदा॥

लग्नेश्वरे द्यूनगते विलग्नजायेश्वरे स्यान्मृगया प्रभूता ॥द्यूनेश्वरे मंदगतौ सुदृष्ट्या स्वल्पात्बलाढ्ये क्षितिजे च गुर्वी ॥
Say the lagna lord has gone to the 7th, and the lord of the 7th is in the lagna (rising sign). Then the hunt would be plentiful. When the lord of dyuna (old name for the 7th house) is slow and well looked at, [the hunt is] small ('svalpat' as it stands). When Mars is rich in strength, it is great.
Simple meaning: Hunting: lagna lord in the 7th and 7th lord in the lagna, a big hunt; a slow 7th lord, a small one; strong Mars, a great one.

Mars may be in the 10th, in a sign not its own (vibhaumagehe). Jupiter and Mercury may look at it. Then the hunt would be greater. [Mars] may be in a sign of Mercury or Jupiter, in the 10th or in the lagna (rising sign). Then the hunt would be great.

जामित्रनाथे हि बुधे नभस्थे चाखेटकः स्वल्पतरोपि न स्यात् ॥द्यूनस्थिते वीर्ययुतः प्रभूतः स्यादल्पकोऽन्यत्र गते च केन्द्रात् ॥
When Mercury, the lord of jamitra (old name for the 7th house), is in the 10th, there would not be even a very small hunt. If [it is] in the 7th with strength, plentiful. If it has gone elsewhere, away from a kendra (corner house), small.

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.
