Chapter 6 · Calendar, Muhurta Elements
कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
लग्नस्याभ्युदिता येंशास्तेष्वंशेषु स्थितो ग्रहः ।लग्नोद्भवं फलं धत्ते धनातीतो द्वितीयकम् ॥ ३०९ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 309.
Some degrees of the lagna (rising sign) have risen. A planet in those degrees gives the result of the lagna. One gone past them, into the wealth house, gives the 2nd house's result. (Our text is unclear here: the word 'dhanatita'.)
Simple meaning: A planet in the risen part of the rising sign acts as a 1st house planet.
चंद्रस्य वलिमाधारमाधेय चान्यखेटकम् ।
The Moon's strength holds up the other planets.
चेदिंदुः शुभदः सर्वे ग्रहाः शुभफलप्रदाः ।
If the Moon is good, all planets give good. If bad, they give bad.
दोषाल्पत्वं गुणाधिक्यं बहु संततमिष्यते ।
Look for few faults and many good points. No time is free of faults.
