तृगस्वर्णाश्वधोरणाद्यैरर्कांशे वृत्तिमादिशेत् ।कृष्यंबुजस्त्रीभ्योब्जांशे कौजे धात्वस्त्रसाहसैः ॥ १६८ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 168.
In the Sun's navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign), say the livelihood comes from grass, gold, horses and elephant-driving. In the Moon's navamsha, from farming, water-born things and women. In Mars's navamsha, from metals, weapons and daring acts.
Simple meaning: Livelihood follows the planet whose part of the sign is strong, such as the Sun, Moon or Mars.
स्वोच्चेष्वार्की तथा ज्यारैरुक्तैकांगे नृपाधिपाः ।
Saturn, Jupiter and Mars exalted, or a vargottama lagna or Moon seen by four planets, make a great king.
द्वाविंशभूपास्तुंगेसृक्चापेर्केन्दूयमस्तनौ ।
Mars exalted with Sun and Moon in Sagittarius, or the Sun exalted rising with Jupiter in the 10th, makes a king.
यमेंदुतुंगगौ लग्ने षष्ठेऽर्कज्ञौ तुलाजगौ ।
Saturn and the Moon exalted, Venus and Mars in their own signs, and Jupiter rising in Cancer make a king.
