शाक्याजीवकवृद्धार्थिचरकाखफलाशनः ।तत्स्वामिभिः परिजितैः प्रव्रज्याप्रच्युतिर्भवेत् ॥ २११ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 211.
In that order they make a Shakya monk, an Ajivaka, an elder and a seeker. Then a Charaka, one more kind of monk, and a fruit-eater. If those lords are beaten by other planets, he falls from the monk's vow. (Our text is unclear here: some names in the list.)
Simple meaning: Each planet gives its own kind of monk. If that planet is beaten, he drops the vow.
अदीक्षिताल्पस्तगतैः सबलैस्तत्स्थभक्तयः ।
Weak or set planets leave him uninitiated. Strong ones make him a devotee of that order.
मंदो वा जन्मपं नष्टं तथा च मंदकागणे ।
The Moon in a Mars navamsha, looked at by Saturn, can make the person take initiation.
सुरूपो भूषितोऽश्विन्यां दक्षः सत्यवचा यमे ।
Ashvini gives good looks, Bharani truth, and Krittika a big eater with a steady mind.
