नीरगुह्यभवान्भोगी जीवे खत्रिंशभागगे ।मेधाकलाकाव्यशिल्पविवादकपटांचितः ॥ २६९ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 269.
One word; an enjoyer: Jupiter in his own trimshamsha (one-thirtieth of a sign). For Mercury: gifted in intelligence, arts, poetry, crafts, debate and cunning. (Our text is unclear here: the first words, perhaps 'free of illness'.)
Simple meaning: Jupiter's thirtieth part gives enjoyment. Mercury's gives intelligence, arts, poetry and craft.
शास्त्रार्थसाहसयुतो बुधे स्वत्रिंशभागगे ।
Mercury's thirtieth part makes one learned and bold. Venus's gives children, comfort, health and wealth.
ललितांगो विप्रकीर्णेंद्रियः स्याद्भार्गवे स्वके ।
Venus's thirtieth part makes one graceful. The Sun and Moon list begins: brave, crooked or good.
सुखेज्ञो चारु चेष्टांगौ चंद्रार्क्कौचेत्कुजादिगौ मूलत्रिकोणस्वर्क्षोच्चे कंठस्थास्तु च ये ग्रहाः ॥ २७२ ॥
The Sun and Moon in good thirtieth parts make one happy and wise. Strong planets in corner houses follow.
