कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
नाभौ चतस्रः षट् कट्यां तिस्रः पुच्छाख्यनाडिकाः ।कार्यहानिर्मुखे मृत्युर्गले वक्षसि निःस्वता ॥ २२२ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 222.
Four ghatikas (24-minute unit) are in the navel, six in the waist and three called the tail. The mouth may spoil work. The throat may bring a risk to life. The chest may bring poverty.
Simple meaning: In Vishti, the mouth part may spoil work, the throat part risks life and the chest part poverty.
कट्यामुन्मत्तता नाभौ च्युतिः पुच्छे ध्रुवं जयः ।
In Vishti, the waist part may disturb the mind, the navel may bring a fall, the tail sure victory.
दिवामुहूर्ता रुद्राहिमित्रपितृवसूदकम् ।
The fifteen parts of the day each have a god as lord. The list starts here.
अर्यमा भगसंज्ञश्च विज्ञेया दश पंच च ।
The fifteen day muhurtas end with Aryama and Bhaga. A second list of fifteen then begins.
