रंध्रायव्यचगः सूर्यादोष्टधीखे सगोर्गुरो ।ज्ञाब्धित्र्यायारिगोरात्रिषट्ध्यध्यांत्यगोषु च ॥ १६२ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 162.
From the Sun, Venus is good in the 8th, 11th and 12th. From Jupiter: the 8th, 5th, 10th and 9th, and one more. From Mercury: the 4th, 3rd, 11th, 6th and 9th. From Mars: the 3rd, 6th, 5th, 12th and 9th. (Our text is unclear here: a few small words.)
Simple meaning: 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.
कष्टमर्थक्षयः क्लेशः समतार्थसुखागमः ।
The number of marks decides the result, from trouble up to gain of what is wished.
