जातकम् १
नखा विधुर्द्वावंकाश्च धृतिः स्वाक्षिखमार्गणाः ॥ १२१ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 121.
The nisarga (natural lifespan) years are 20, 1, 2, 9, 18, 20 and 50.
Simple meaning: The natural years for each planet are listed.
पिंडे निसर्गे रवोच्चे नो ग्रहः षट्भाल्पको यदा ।
A planet's full years count by how far it stands from its low point.
अंशोनाः शत्रुभे कार्या ग्रहं वक्रगतिं विना ।
A planet's years are reduced when it is in an enemy sign or set in the Sun's light.
हानिद्वयेऽधिकाः कार्या यदा क्रूरस्तनौ तदा ।
When two cuts apply, only the bigger one is made. A cruel planet rising also cuts the years.
