जातकम् २
लग्ने कुजे क्षततनुर्द्धनगे तु कदन्नभुक् ।धर्मपापसमाचारोऽन्यत्र सूर्यसमो मतः ॥ २५१ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 251.
Mars in the lagna (rising sign): a wounded body. In the 2nd: eats poor food. Mixes dharma and sin in his acts. In other houses, take him as like the Sun. (Our text is unclear here: the house for 'mixes dharma and sin', perhaps the 9th.)
Simple meaning: Mars in the 1st can wound the body, in the 2nd bring poor food. Elsewhere it acts like the Sun.
स्मरी मुखी विलग्नस्थे कलही सुरतोत्सुकः ।
Venus in the 1st gives desire and happiness. In the 5th it gives happiness. Elsewhere it acts like Jupiter.
निःस्वो रोगी कामवशो मलिनः शैशवार्तियुक् ।
Saturn in the 1st can bring poverty, illness and laziness. Exalted there, it can make a king.
ग्रामाधिपः स विद्वांश्च चार्वंगोऽन्यत्र सूर्यवत् ।
Saturn can make a learned, handsome village head. An exalted planet gives the full result.
