कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
यात्रोद्वाहादिकार्येषु नामतुल्यफलप्रदाः ।षष्टिघ्नं गतचन्द्रर्क्षं तत्कालघटिकान्वितम् ।वेदघ्नमिषुवेदांत्यमवस्था भानुभागतः ॥ २८८ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 288.
In journeys, marriage and such work, they give results like their names. Multiply the Moon's past stars by sixty. Add the ghatika (24-minute unit) run at that time. Multiply by four and divide by 45. Divide again by twelve; this gives the state.
Simple meaning: Star counts give results like their names. A sum from the Moon's star gives one of twelve states.
प्रवासनष्टाख्यमृता जयो हास्यं रतिमुदा ।
Twelve states are named, and each tends to give results like its name.
पट्टबंधनयानोग्रसंधिविग्रहभूषणम् ।
Crowning, travel, war and ornaments succeed in an Aries lagna.
मंगलानि स्थिराण्यंबुवेश्मकर्मप्रवर्तनम् ।
Lasting work, water work, house work, farming and trade succeed in this lagna, likely Taurus.
