स्वमित्रत्र्यंशगश्चंद्रः सुरूपं गुणिनं नरम् ।करोत्यन्नगतस्तद्वत्तत्तुल्यगुणरूपिणम् ॥ २६३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 263.
The Moon in its own or a friend's drekkana (one-third part of a sign) makes a man handsome and gifted. In another's drekkana, it makes him gifted and good-looking like that drekkana's lord. (Our text is unclear here: the word read as 'in another's'.)
Simple meaning: The Moon in a friendly third of a sign gives a handsome, gifted person.
व्यालायुधे चतुष्पादांऽजेषु च त्र्यंशकेषु च ।
In snake, weapon, animal and bird thirds the person may be sharp, violent, unfaithful or a wanderer.
स्तेनो भोक्ता सधनधीर्नृपः क्लीबश्च शत्रुहा ।
This list gives twelve natures, one for each sign's ninth part, from theft to weak judgement.
मेषादिकोत्तमांशेषु द्वादशांशेषु राशिवत् ।
Ninth-part results go by sign. Twelfth parts act like signs. Then a list of bold, strong natures begins.
