आशु तेशाष्टगोष्वंगः त्सांतेष्वब्जात्सितः शुभः ।स्वात्सज्ञेषु त्रिधीगोब्धी दिक्छिद्रासिगतोर्कजात् ॥ १६१ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 161.
Venus's table. From the Moon, Venus is good in the 11th, 8th, 9th, 1st and 12th, and others. From Saturn: the 3rd, 5th, 9th, 4th, 10th, 8th and 11th. Its own sign and Mercury are also named. (Our text is unclear here: much of the first line, and the words about its own sign and Mercury.)
Simple meaning: The houses where the Moon and Saturn give Venus points.
रंध्रायव्यचगः सूर्यादोष्टधीखे सगोर्गुरो ।
The verse lists the houses where the Sun, Jupiter, Mercury and Mars give Venus points.
त्रिधीशारिषु मन्दः खात्साक्षांत्येषु शुभो सृजः ।
The houses where Saturn, Mars, the Sun and the rising sign give Saturn points.
उक्तस्थानेषु रेखादो ह्यनुक्तेषु तु बिंदुदाः ।
Planets give marks in set houses. A planet in a friend's, high or own sign is good. In others it is bad.
