जातकम् १
केंद्रात्परं पणफरमापोक्लिममतः परम् ।रक्तः श्वेतः शुकनिभः पाटलो धूम्रपांडुरौ ॥ १२ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 12.
After the kendra (corner house) places come the panaphara (succeeding house) places. After them come the apoklima (falling house) places. Red, white, parrot-green, rose, smoky and pale, are the colours of the signs.
Simple meaning: After the corner houses come the succeeding houses, then the falling houses. The signs also have colours, from red upward.
चित्रः कृष्णः पीतपिंगौ बभ्रुः स्वच्छः प्रभाक्रियात् ।
The rest of the signs have colours too: variegated, black, yellow, tawny, brown and clear.
कालात्मार्को मनश्चंद्रः कुजः सत्वं वचो बुधः ।
Each planet stands for a part of life: Sun soul, Moon mind, Mars strength, Mercury speech, Jupiter knowledge, Venus desire, Saturn sorrow.
नृपौ रवीन्दू नेतासृक् कुमारो ज्ञः कवीज्यकौ ।
Sun and Moon are kings, Mars the army chief, Mercury the prince, Venus and Jupiter ministers, Saturn the servant.
