चंद्रार्की फलदावंत्ये सदा ज्ञः फलदायकः ।लग्नात्पुत्रे कलत्रे वाब्जाच्छुभेशयुतेक्षिते ॥ २७६ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 276.
The Moon and Saturn give their results at the end. Mercury gives results all the time. From the lagna (rising sign) or from the Moon, take the 5th or 7th house. Say it is joined or looked at by a good planet or its own lord.
Simple meaning: The Moon and Saturn act late in a dasha. Mercury acts all the time.
अन्योन्यकारकास्ते स्युः कर्मगस्तु विशेषतः ।
Strong planets in corner houses help each other. Birth in a vargottama sign is good.
अशून्येषु च केंद्रेषु कारकाख्यगृहेषु च ।
Full corner houses and karaka planets help. Jupiter and the Moon-sign and lagna lords there give moderate comfort.
पृष्ठोभवकोदपर्क्षस्थितास्त्वंत्यांतरादिषु ।
Sun and Mars act early in a dasha, Venus and Jupiter in the middle.
