In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 186.
Sowing seed gives the very best results. Do it in the soft, fixed and quick stars. Also in the Pitri (ancestors), Vayu and Vasu stars, and in Mula.
Simple meaning: Sowing seed gives the best results in soft, fixed and quick stars, Magha, Swati, Dhanishta and Mula.
भवेद्भत्रितयं मूर्ध्नि धान्यनाशाय राहुभात् ।
A wheel from Rahu's star gives results: grain loss at the head, growth in the belly.
निस्तंडुलत्वं लांगूले भचतुष्टयभीतिदम् ।
At the tail the grain may be empty, with worry. At the navel fire is a risk. Read sowing this way.
स्थिरेष्वदितिसार्पांत्यपितृमारुतभेषु च ।
After an illness, avoid the recovery bath in these stars and on Monday or Friday.
