जातकम् १
अग्निहोत्रगृहे जीवोऽर्को भूषाभरणो गृहे ।शिल्पालये बुधो जन्म कुर्याद्बलसमन्वितः ॥ ७९ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 79.
Jupiter: a house of the sacred fire. The Sun: a house of ornaments. Mercury: a workshop. The strong planet makes the birth happen there. (Our text is unclear here: the word for the Sun's house.)
Simple meaning: 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.
गुरुदृष्टे तु दीर्घायुः परं च प्राप्यते पुनः ।
Jupiter's look protects the left child. A hurt Moon rising with Mars in the 7th may risk its life.
पितृमातृगृहे जन्म तदधीशबलान्मुने ।
Strong parents' lords point to birth in their home. A good planet in its low sign points to a hut.
