चंद्रास्तसुखगः पापैर्मातुः पीडां समादिशेत् ।जीर्णोद्धृतं गृहं मंदे सृजि दग्धं न वा विधौ ॥ ८६ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 86.
Bad planets in the 7th and the 4th from the Moon: say the mother suffers. Saturn gives an old, repaired house. Mars gives a burnt one. The Moon gives a new one.
Simple meaning: 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.
घटाजकर्क्यलिघटे पूर्वे ज्ञेज्यगृहे ह्युदक् ।
The sign shows which side of the house the birth room is on.
गृहप्राच्यादिगौ द्वौ द्वौ द्व्यंगाः कोणेष्वजादयः ।
Signs are spread over the sides and corners of the house and the legs of the bed.
