जातकम् १
मंदेऽनिलाश्मजो भौमे विषशस्त्राग्निजो बुधे ।भुजेऽर्के काष्टपशुजो जेतुः शृंग्यजयोनिजः ॥ ९५ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 95.
A wound from Saturn comes from wind or a stone. From Mars, from poison, a weapon or fire. From Mercury, from the earth. From the Sun, from wood or an animal. From the Moon, from a horned animal or a goat. (Our text is unclear here: the last planet's name, read as the Moon.)
Simple meaning: Each planet shows what a wound or scar comes from.
तिलकृन्मसकृदृष्टसौम्यैर्युक्तश्च लक्ष्मवान् ।
The Sun gives a square body, tawny eyes and thin hair.
वृतो वातकफी प्राज्ञो मंदवाक् शुभदृक् शशी ।
The Moon gives a round body and a soft, wise way. Mars gives a young, restless, fiery one.
त्रिधातुपवृतिर्हास्यरुचिज्ञः श्लिष्टवाक्तथा ।
Mercury gives a joking, witty way. Jupiter gives a tall, wise build.
