त्रिधीशारिषु मन्दः खात्साक्षांत्येषु शुभो सृजः ।केंद्रायाष्टधनेष्वर्का लग्नाद्वृद्ध्याद्यबंधुषु ॥ १६३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 163.
Saturn's table. From itself, Saturn is good in the 3rd, 5th, 11th and 6th. From Mars: the 10th, 5th and 12th. From the Sun: the kendra (corner house) places, the 11th, 8th and 2nd. From the lagna (rising sign): the 11th, 1st and 4th. (Our text is unclear here: the Mars list.)
Simple meaning: 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.
तृगस्वर्णाश्वधोरणाद्यैरर्कांशे वृत्तिमादिशेत् ।
Livelihood follows the planet whose part of the sign is strong, such as the Sun, Moon or Mars.
