कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च

In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 284.
In the bright fortnight the Moon is good in the 2nd, 9th and 5th. It must not be blocked. Planets in the 12th, 8th and 4th would block it.
Simple meaning: In the bright fortnight the Moon is good in the 2nd, 9th and 5th, unless blocked.
जन्म संपद्विपत् क्षेम प्रत्यारिः साधको वधः ।
Nine named star counts run from the birth star and repeat.
जन्मत्रिपंचसप्ताख्यास्तारा नेष्ट फलप्रदाः ।
The birth, 3rd, 5th and 7th star counts give poor results. Gifts are named for them.
यात्रोद्वाहादिकार्येषु नामतुल्यफलप्रदाः ।
Star counts give results like their names. A sum from the Moon's star gives one of twelve states.
