जातकम् १
एतल्लक्षणसंपन्ना प्रसूतिर्विजने तदा ।मंदर्क्षांशे विधौ तुर्ये मंददृष्टेऽब्जगेऽपि वा ॥ ८४ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 84.
With these marks, the birth is in a lonely place. The Moon may be in the 4th, in Saturn's sign or navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Or Saturn looks at it, or it is in a watery sign. (Our text is unclear here: the last words, read as 'in a watery sign'.)
Simple meaning: 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.
काष्ठाढ्यमदृढं सूर्यं बहुशिल्पयुतं बुधे ।
Each planet shows the kind of house the child is born in.
