ग्रहचारः केतवश्च
माधवः शुभदो ज्येष्ठो नृणां मध्यफलप्रदः ।शुचिर्मध्यो नभः श्रेष्ठो भाद्रः श्रेष्ठः क्वचिन्नरः ॥ ५५ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 55.
Vaishakha is good. Jyeshtha gives middling results to people. Ashadha is middling. Shravana is best. Bhadrapada is best. (Our text is unclear here: the last words; Ashvina, the twelfth month, may be hidden in them.)
Simple meaning: Vaishakha, Shravana and Bhadrapada are good. Jyeshtha and Ashadha are middling.
अतिश्रेष्ठ इषः प्रोक्तो मासानां फलमीदृशम् ।
Jupiter moving through the northern part of the stars tends to bring safety, health and plenty of food.
विपरीतो गुरुर्याम्ये मध्ये चरति मध्यमम् ।
Jupiter in the southern part gives the opposite of good. In the middle part, results are middling.
व्याध्यग्निचौरशस्त्रास्त्रभयदः प्राणिनां भवेत् ।
Jupiter's colour shows the fear to come: illness, fire, thieves or weapons. A smoky Jupiter brings drought.
