ज्ञारौ धने शितरवा हिबुके भूपतिस्तदा ।वृषेंऽगेऽब्जोधनारिस्थो जीवार्की लाभगाःपरे ॥ १८३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 183.
Mercury and Mars in the 2nd, Venus and the Sun in the 4th: then he is a king. Next: a Taurus lagna (rising sign) with the Moon in it. Jupiter and Saturn are in the 2nd and 6th. The rest are in the 11th.
Simple meaning: Mercury and Mars in the 2nd and Venus and Sun in the 4th make a king.
सुखे गुरुःखेरवींदूयमो लग्ने भवे करै ।
Jupiter in the 4th, Sun and Moon in the 10th, Saturn rising and the rest in the 11th make a king.
सुखास्तु शुभखाप्तिस्था नरेशं जनयंत्यपि ।
These placements also make a king. Kingship comes in the dasha of a planet in the 10th or 1st.
प्रबलस्य दशायां वा शत्रुनीचा दिगार्तिदाः ।
Kingship can come in the strongest planet's dasha. All planets in two adjoining corner houses make Gada.
