जातकम् १
शुक्रार्कौ मातृपितरौ दिवा नक्तं शशीनजौ ।मातृष्वसृपितृव्याख्यौ वा पद्मेजि समे शुभौ ॥ ४५ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 45.
By day, Venus and the Sun are the mother and the father. By night, the Moon and Saturn are. Or they stand for the mother's sister and the father's brother. They are good in ... and in even signs. (Our text is unclear here: one word before 'even' is damaged.)
Simple meaning: By day Venus and Sun stand for the mother and father. By night the Moon and Saturn do.
पापदृष्टे शुभे क्षीणे तुंगे वा लग्नगे यमे ।
Saturn in the lagna seen by a waning Moon and Mars may put the pregnant woman's life at risk.
युगपद्वा पृथक्संस्थौ लग्नेंदू पापमध्यगौ ।
A pregnant woman's life may be at risk when the lagna and the Moon sit between bad planets.
लग्नाच्चंद्राच्च तुर्यस्थैः पापैर्निधनगे कुजे ।
Bad planets in the 4th, Mars in the 8th and a lost Moon point to a risk to life.
