जातकम् १
पितृमातृगृहे जन्म तदधीशबलान्मुने ।तरुगेहे शुभे नीचे नैकस्थदृष्टौ लग्नेंदुः ॥ ८३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 83.
The birth is in the father's or the mother's house, by the strength of their lords, sage. If a good planet is in its low sign, it is in a hut under trees. The lagna (rising sign) and the Moon may not be looked at by planets standing together. (Our text is unclear here: the exact sense of the last line.)
Simple meaning: Strong parents' lords point to birth in their home. A good planet in its low sign points to a hut.
एतल्लक्षणसंपन्ना प्रसूतिर्विजने तदा ।
The birth may be in a lonely spot. A Moon in the 4th under Saturn's touch points to a dark place.
मंदार्चने वा तमसि शयनं नीचगे भुवि ।
The birth may be in the dark. The rising sign's type shows whether the baby comes head first.
चंद्रास्तसुखगः पापैर्मातुः पीडां समादिशेत् ।
Bad planets 4th or 7th from the Moon bring the mother trouble. Each planet shows a kind of house.
