Chapter 6 · Calendar, Muhurta Elements
कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
धर्मायुर्वृष्टिषु समं श्रेष्ठं नष्टं फलं क्रमात् ।आयुधं वाहनाहारौ यज्जातीयं जनस्य च ॥ २६० ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 260.
For dharma, long life and rain, the result is average, best and lost, in that order. Note the weapon, the vehicle and the food, and the kind of people that match them.
Simple meaning: The Sun's pose at its entry makes dharma, life and rain average, best or lost.
स्वापोपविष्टास्तिष्ठंतस्ते लोकाः क्षेममाप्नुयुः ।
People matching the Sun's pose fare well. Stars fall into four classes: blind, slow, middle, clear-eyed.
पपीयाद्गणयेद्भानि रोहिण्यादिचतुर्विधम् ।
Count the stars from Rohini in four kinds. The Sun's entry into a fixed sign is Vishnupada.
षडशीतिमुखा ज्ञेया द्विस्वभावेषु राशिषु ।
The Sun's entry into Libra and Aries is the equinox.
