क्लीबौ बुधार्की शुक्रेन्दू स्त्रियौ शेषा नराः स्मृताः ।शिखिभूमिपयोवारिवासिनो भूसुतादयः ॥ १८ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 18.
Mercury and Saturn are neuter. Venus and the Moon are female. The rest are held to be male. Mars and the rest dwell in fire, earth, milk and water, in turn. (Our text is unclear here: the list of elements is damaged.)
Simple meaning: Mercury and Saturn are neuter, Venus and Moon female, the others male. Each planet is also tied to an element.
कवीज्यौ कुजसूर्यौ च वेदो ज्ञो वर्णपाः क्रमात् ।
Planets rule the classes of society. Saturn rules outcastes and Rahu rules foreigners.
हेमकांस्यायसी त्र्यंशैः शिशिराद्याः प्रकीर्तिताः ।
The six seasons go with Saturn, Venus, Mars, Moon, Mercury and Jupiter, read from what is rising.
त्र्याशत्रिकोणतुर्याष्टसप्तमान्येन वृद्धितः ।
Planets see the 7th fully and some houses partly. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars see extra houses fully.
