जातकम् १
कर्कातिलग्नगेशौरेवटे जन्माब्जवीक्षिते ।मंदे जन्मगते लग्ने बुधसूर्येंदुवीक्षिते ॥ ७७ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 77.
Saturn may be in a Cancer or Scorpio lagna (rising sign), looked at by the Moon. Then the birth is in a pit. Saturn may be in the lagna at birth, looked at by Mercury, the Sun or the Moon. (Our text is unclear here: 'avate' could also mean under a banyan tree.)
Simple meaning: 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.
भासमाने सरे मार्गे स्थिरे स्वर्क्षांशगे गृहे ।
A movable sign means birth on a road, a fixed one at home. Mars and Saturn can mean the mother leaves.
