जातकम् १
कवीज्यौ कुजसूर्यौ च वेदो ज्ञो वर्णपाः क्रमात् ।सौरोऽत्यजाधिपः प्रोक्तो राहुर्म्लेच्छाधिपस्तथा ॥ १९ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 19.
Venus and Jupiter, Mars and the Sun, 'veda', and Mercury rule the classes of society, in turn. Saturn is called the lord of the outcastes. Rahu is likewise the lord of foreigners. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'veda', where a planet should stand, is damaged.)
Simple meaning: 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.
अयनक्षणघस्रर्तुमासार्द्धशरदो रवेः ।
From the Sun on, each planet has a time span and a taste.
