जातकम् २
स्मरी मुखी विलग्नस्थे कलही सुरतोत्सुकः ।सुखितस्तनपस्ये च भृगौ जीववदन्यतः ॥ २५४ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 254.
Venus in the lagna (rising sign): lustful and happy. Quarrelsome and eager for love-making. In the 5th: happy. In other houses, like Jupiter. (Our text is unclear here: the house for 'quarrelsome', perhaps the 7th, and the word read as the 5th.)
Simple meaning: 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.
शुभग्रहे दलं स्वर्क्षे मित्रभेंऽघ्रिमितं फलम् ।
A planet gives half its result in its own sign, a quarter in a friend's, nothing when low or set.
