ज्योतिषमूलं पञ्चाङ्गं च
छाया शृङ्गोन्नतियुती पातसाधानमीरितम् ।जातके राशिभेदाश्च ग्रहयोनिश्च योनिजम् ॥ ४ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 54, verse 4.
Shadow, the rise of the Moon's horns, and the meetings of planets are described. So is the working out of the fall-point of Sun and Moon. In jataka (birth chart reading) come the kinds of signs and the kinds of planets. Then births from wombs of other creatures.
Simple meaning: Planet maths also covers shadows and the Moon's horns. Birth charts cover the kinds of signs and planets.
निषेकजन्मारिष्टानि ह्यायुर्दायो दशाक्रमः ।
Birth charts cover birth, life span, planet periods, livelihood, point tables and royal combinations.
चंद्रयोगाः प्रव्रज्याख्या राशिशीलं च दृक्फलम् ।
More topics: Moon combinations, renunciation, sign nature, planets' looks and houses, and mixed rules.
अनिष्टयोगाः स्त्रीजन्मफलं निर्याणमेव च ।
The text also covers bad combinations, women's charts, the end of life, lost birth times and drekkanas.
