शास्त्रार्थसाहसयुतो बुधे स्वत्रिंशभागगे ।बह्वपत्सुखारौग्यरोगरूपार्थसंयुतः ॥ २७० ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 270.
Skilled in the meaning of the shastras, and bold: Mercury in his own trimshamsha (one-thirtieth of a sign). For Venus: many children, comfort, health, looks and wealth. (Our text is unclear here: one word after 'health'.)
Simple meaning: 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.
अन्योन्यकारकास्ते स्युः कर्मगस्तु विशेषतः ।
Strong planets in corner houses help each other. Birth in a vargottama sign is good.
