In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 259.
With one, two or more planets in friends' signs, in order: lives on others' wealth; on friends; on kin; supports others; head of a group; army chief; a king. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'poshya'.)
Simple meaning: The more planets in friends' signs, the higher the rise, from living on others to king.
विषमर्क्षेऽर्कहोरायां संस्थिते शुभभेषु च ।
Planets in odd signs in the Sun's half give fame, effort, brightness, wisdom, wealth and strength.
शुभेषु चंद्रहोरायां स्थितेषु समराशिषु ।
Good planets in the Moon's half and even signs give beauty, softness, fortune and wisdom.
सूर्यहोरागतः पापः समभेषु तु मध्यमाः ।
Bad planets in the Sun's half give the results told. In even signs they are middling.
