In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 84.
In Kubera's parva (junction day), rich people lose wealth, but grain grows. Varuna's brings harm to kings and welfare to others.
Simple meaning: Kubera's eclipse costs the rich their money but grows grain. Varuna's harms kings but helps others.
प्रवर्षणं सस्यवृद्धिः क्षेमं हौताशपर्वणि ।
Agni's junction day brings rain and crops. Yama's brings drought and famine.
वेलाहीने सस्यहानिर्नृपाणां दारुणं रणम् ।
An eclipse that comes early or late can bring crop loss, war and fear.
एकस्मिन्नेव मासे तु चंद्रार्कग्रहणं यदा ।
Two eclipses in one month can bring quarrels among kings and loss of wealth and rain.
