Commentary on the Essence of Battle

Svarasara- 8 The vowel I is the lord swami in the twelve years beginning with Khara The 25th year of the 60-year cycle.. The vowel U is the lord in the twelve years beginning with Shobhana. The vowel E is the lord in the years beginning with Nathara Likely a corruption of Vishvavasu or another year name in the sequence.. The vowel A manifests its presence there. Therefore, the vowel O is their vowel; it is the lord for the years beginning with Ekhura This may refer to the years starting with Pramadi, as mentioned on the previous page..

For an individual who is born in one of these years, the vowel that serves as the lord of that specific year must be determined. Starting from that vowel, the sequence should be understood in groups of twelve by the remaining calculations.

Now, the Year Vowel hayana svara is declared:
In the five years beginning with Prabhava, the vowels starting with A manifest. In the year Prabhava, A is the lord. In Vibhava, it is I. In Shukla, it is U. In Pramoda, it is E. In Prajapati, it is O.

Again:
In Angira, it is A.
In Shrimukha, it is I.
In Bhava, it is U.
In Yuva, it is E.
In Dhata, it is O.

In this same manner, for the five years starting with Ishvara, the vowels start again from A. For the five years beginning with Chitrabhanu, they start again from A. For the five years beginning with Sarvajit...

Now the tenth?
