जातकम् १
स्वबंधलग्नगः सूतिः सलिले नात्र संसयः ।पापदृष्टे यमे गुह्यां जन्मांगाजव्ययस्थिते ॥ ७६ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 76.
Or the Moon is in its own sign, the 4th house or the lagna (rising sign). Then the birth is in water, no doubt. Saturn may be in the 12th from the birth sign or the lagna. If bad planets look at it, the birth is in a closed, hidden place.
Simple meaning: 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.
क्रीडास्थाने देवगेहे प्यूषरे च क्रमाज्जनिः ।
The planet looking at the rising sign shows the birth place, like a temple or a cremation ground.
अग्निहोत्रगृहे जीवोऽर्को भूषाभरणो गृहे ।
Jupiter, the Sun or Mercury looking at the rising sign show the kind of house of birth.
