In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 90.
The planets between the Moon and the lagna (rising sign) show the women helping at the birth. Those in the seen half of the wheel are outside. Those in the unseen half are inside. Others say the reverse.
Simple meaning: Planets between the Moon and rising sign show the women at the birth, some inside, some outside.

The child's looks follow the rising sign's part or the strongest planet. Skin colour follows the Moon's part.

A list of body parts from the head down, read by thirds of the rising sign.
शिश्नापाते च वृषणौ जघने जानुनी तथा ।
