ग्रहचारः केतवश्च
ग्रस्तोदितावस्तमितौ नृपधान्यविनाशदौ ।सर्वग्रस्ताविनेंदू तु क्षुद्व्याध्यग्निभयप्रदौ ॥ ८८ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 88.
If the Sun or Moon rises or sets while eclipsed, kings and grain may suffer harm. If the Sun and Moon are fully eclipsed, they may bring fear of hunger, illness and fire.
Simple meaning: A rising or setting eclipse can harm kings and grain. A full eclipse can bring fear of hunger, illness and fire.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सौम्यायने क्षत्रविप्रानितरांहन्ति दक्षिणे ।
An eclipse in the Sun's northern course may harm warriors and priests; in the southern, others.
तथैव ग्रामभेदाः स्युर्मोक्षभेदास्तथा दश ।
Eclipses have ten kinds of covering and ten of release. Even gods cannot tell them all.
आनीय खेटान्गणितांस्तेषां वारं विचिंतयेत् ।
Work out the planets and watch their movement. They show the good and bad of the time.
