In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 1.
The sankranti (the Sun's entry into a sign) into Aries and the rest are counted in order. They run through the months from Chaitra. The weekday of the 1st tithi (moon day) of Chaitra's bright half is called the king.
Simple meaning: The weekday on which the Chaitra year begins is called the king of the year.
नेष्टः कुजो बुधो जीवो भृगुस्त्वतिशुभंकरः ।
Mercury, Jupiter and Venus bring good results. Mars is not welcome and Saturn is the worst.
दंडाकारे कबंधे वा ध्वांक्षाकारेऽथ कीलके ।
A rod, crow or peg shape on the Sun's disc points to illness, confusion and theft.
छत्रध्वजपताकाद्यसन्निभस्तिमितैर्ध्वनैः ।
Smoky umbrella or flag shapes with sparks on the Sun's disc can bring harm to the world.
