जातकम् २
स्वांशे त्वल्पतनुः सखस्तपस्वी लोभतत्परः ।क्रोधी निधीशो मात्यो वा नृपो हिंस्रो सुतो हरेः ॥ २३९ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 239.
In its own navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign), Cancer: small in body; one word; an ascetic; greedy; angry. In Leo's navamsha: a lord of treasure or a minister; a king; violent; childless. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'sakhah'.)
Simple meaning: In its own ninth part the Moon makes one small and greedy. In Leo's, a minister or king, violent, childless.
जीवांशे हास्यविद्योधा बली मंत्री च धार्मिकः ।
Jupiter's ninth part gives strength and rank. Saturn's gives few children, sorrow and a wife of difficult nature.
पुष्टं मध्यं लघु ज्ञेयं यदि चांशपतिर्बली ।
A strong ninth-part lord sets aside the sign results and gives its own.
शूरस्तब्धो विकलदृग्निघृणोऽर्के तनुस्थिते ।
The Sun in the 1st house gives bravery but weak sight. In Leo it can give night blindness.
