विशन्यापदशायां यो वैरिदृष्टो विपत्तिकृत् ।शुभमित्रेक्षितश्चेष्टसद्वर्गस्थश्च यो ग्रहः ॥ १४५ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 145.
This is for the vidasha (still smaller period) and the upadasha (smaller period within that). There, a planet looked at by an enemy brings trouble. Now take a planet looked at by good planets and friends. It stands in good vargas (divisions of a sign) that suit it. (Our text is unclear here: the first word, read as the vidasha and upadasha.)
Simple meaning: A planet looked at by an enemy brings trouble. One looked at by a friend helps.
तत्काले बलवानापन्नाशकृत्समुदाहृतः ।
A strong planet with friends' looks ends trouble. A planet with a fully good point table also helps.
यश्च मूर्तितनुग्लावो वृद्धिगः स्वोच्चभस्थितः ।
A planet in the 1st or 11th, or in a high, own or friend's sign, gives middling good.
श्रेष्ठं शुभतरं वाच्यं विपरीतगतस्य तु ।
Well-placed planets give the best results. Badly placed ones bring much bad and little good.
