Chapter 6 · Calendar, Muhurta Elements
कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
भवेद्भत्रितयं मूर्ध्नि धान्यनाशाय राहुभात् ।गले त्रयं कज्जलाय वृद्धचै च द्वादशोदरे ॥ १८७ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 187.
Counting from Rahu's star, three stars at the head may bring loss of grain. Three at the neck bring soot. Twelve in the belly bring growth.
Simple meaning: 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.
उत्तरात्रयमैत्रेन्द्रवसुवारुणभेषु च ।
Starting dance is good in the Uttaras, Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Pushya, Hasta and Revati.
