स्वामीज्यज्ञयुता होरा दृष्टा वा सत्फलावहा ।विनाश दृष्टयुक्ता च पापांतरगतान्यथा ॥ १५० ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 150.
A lagna (rising sign) joined or looked at by its own lord, Jupiter or Mercury brings good results. Without these, and hemmed in between bad planets, it gives the opposite. (Our text is unclear here: one syllable after 'without'.)
Simple meaning: A rising sign with its lord, Jupiter or Mercury gives good results. Bad planets on both sides spoil it.
प्राग्ध्वांक्षा बंधुमृत्याय तयोर्द्यूने रविः स्वभात् ।
This lists the houses where the Sun gets points, counted from itself, Mars, Saturn and Venus.
धर्मध्यायारिगो जीवादिकत्र्यारिगो विधोः ।

षट्त्र्यायधीस्थो मंदाच्च ज्ञाद्वित्र्यायाष्टकेंद्रगः ।
The houses where Saturn, Mercury and Jupiter give the Moon points.
