कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
गोपानुषसि संध्यायां लिंगिनो रविसंक्रमः ।दिवा चेन्मेषसंक्रांतिरनर्थकलहप्रदा ॥ २५४ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 254.
At dawn, cowherds. At twilight, ascetics. So works the Sun's sankranti (the Sun's entry into a sign). The sankranti into Aries by day can bring trouble and quarrels.
Simple meaning: 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.
भुशुंडी च गदाखड्गौ दंड इष्वासतोमरौ ॥ २५६ ॥
By karana, the Sun's entry carries a weapon: bhushundi, mace, sword, staff, bow, javelin.
कुन्तपाशांकुशास्त्रेषून्बिभर्ति करयोस्त्विनः ।
The Sun holds one weapon by karana. Foods for each karana begin: rice, milk-rice, soup, milk, curd.
