जातकम् १
विदेशगः पितावृद्धः खेवा राशिवशात्यये ।पूर्ण इंदौ स्वभेशेंज्ञे शुभे भुव्यंबुजे तनौ ॥ ७४ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 74.
The father is abroad or old, going by the sign. The Moon is full and in its own sign. Mercury is in the lagna (rising sign). A good planet is in the 4th house. The lagna is a watery sign. (Our text is unclear here: the words 'khe va' and 'atyaye' in the first line.)
Simple meaning: The father may be away or old. A full Moon in its own sign starts a rule for the place of birth.
द्यूनस्थे वा विधौ यातेंगना नारी प्रसूयते ।
A Moon in the 7th, or a watery Moon looking at a watery rising sign, sets up a birth by water.
स्वबंधलग्नगः सूतिः सलिले नात्र संसयः ।
A watery Moon points to birth near water. Saturn in the 12th, seen by bad planets, points to a hidden place.
कर्कातिलग्नगेशौरेवटे जन्माब्जवीक्षिते ।
Saturn rising in Cancer or Scorpio, seen by the Moon, points to birth in a pit.
