कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च

In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 252.
... and all those not named. Ghora and the rest are said to give happiness. The Sun's sankranti (the Sun's entry into a sign) in the forenoon may harm kings. At midday, Brahmins.
Simple meaning: A Sun sign change in the forenoon is bad for kings. At midday it is bad for Brahmins.
अपराह्णेऽस्तगे शूद्रान्प्रदोषे च पिशाचकान् ।
In the afternoon it may harm Vaishyas, at sunset Shudras, then goblins, night-wanderers and actors.
गोपानुषसि संध्यायां लिंगिनो रविसंक्रमः ।
At dawn it may harm cowherds, at twilight ascetics. Aries entry by day can bring trouble and fights.
रात्रौ सुभिक्षमतुलं संध्ययोर्वृष्टिनाशनम् ।
Sun's entry at night brings plenty, at twilight it may hold back rain. Each karana gives the Sun's entry an animal mount.
