जातकम् १
चंद्रांगपापैर्भांत्यस्थैः सेंबुपापचतुष्टयैः ।चक्रपूर्वापरे पापसौम्यैः कीटतनौ मृतिः ॥ १०२ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 102.
The Moon, the lagna (rising sign) and bad planets may be at the ends of signs. Or bad planets with the Moon fill the four corner houses. Or bad planets hold the east half of the wheel and good ones the west, with a Scorpio lagna. Then there may be a risk to life. (Our text is unclear here: 'bhantya' may also mean the 12th house.)
Simple meaning: Certain placements of the Moon and bad planets are said to put a newborn's life at risk.
उदयास्तगतौ पापौ चंद्रः क्रूरयुतैः शुभैः ।
Bad planets in the 1st and 7th with an afflicted Moon may put the newborn's life at risk.
क्षीणेऽब्जे व्ययगे पापैर्लग्नाष्टस्थैः शुभा न चेत् ।
A weak Moon with bad planets in these places is said to put early life at risk.
केंद्राद्या हस्त सन्खेटैरदृष्टो मृत्युदस्तथा ।
A Moon in the 6th or 8th seen by bad planets is said to put a newborn's life at early risk.
