ज्योतिषमूलं पञ्चाङ्गं च
गणिते परिकर्मादि खगमध्यस्फुटक्रिंये ।अनुयोगश्चंद्रसूर्यग्रहणं तचोदस्याकम् ॥ ३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 54, verse 3.
In ganita (maths of the planets) come the basic workings and the like. Then the working out of the mean and true planets. Then questions and answers, and the eclipses of the Moon and Sun. Then the planets' risings and settings.
Simple meaning: Planet maths covers basic sums, true planet positions, eclipses, and risings and settings.
