चित्रः कृष्णः पीतपिंगौ बभ्रुः स्वच्छः प्रभाक्रियात् ।साम्याशाख्यप्लुवत्वं स्याद्द्वितीये वशिरर्कभात् ॥ १३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 13.
Variegated, black, yellow and tawny, brown and clear. These colours run from Aries. (Our text is unclear here: the second half, about a sign's lean and the 2nd from the Sun, is damaged.)
Simple meaning: 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.
रविशुक्रारराह्वर्केन्दुविदीज्या दिगीश्वराः ।
The eight planets guard eight directions. Waning Moon, Sun, Mars and Saturn are bad planets, and Mercury turns bad with them.
