In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 204.
Joined with the Sun, this planet makes a person busy with others' work. Joined with Venus, one who lives by weapons. Joined with Saturn, one skilled in metals and who knows wares, O sage. (Our text is unclear here: the planet this verse speaks of, and the first planet named.)
Simple meaning: Joined with other planets, it gives work with others' affairs, weapons, or metals and wares.
सेज्येज्ञे नृत्यगीताढ्यो मायादक्षः सभार्गवे ।
Mercury with Jupiter gives dance and song, with Venus clever tricks, with Saturn a cruel hunter.
एकस्थैश्चतुराद्यैस्तु खवार्थैः खचरैः पृथक् ।
Four or more planets in one house can make a person a wandering monk.
शाक्याजीवकवृद्धार्थिचरकाखफलाशनः ।
Each planet gives its own kind of monk. If that planet is beaten, he drops the vow.
