Chapter 6 · Calendar, Muhurta Elements
कालमानं मुहूर्ताङ्गानि च
क्रमादभ्युदिते चंद्रे नयत्यर्घसमानि च ।अश्वग्रींद्वीज्यनैर्ऋत्यत्वाष्ट्रजत्युत्तराभवाः ॥ १९४ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 194.
When the Moon has risen, it moves through them in order. Ashvini, Agni's, Indu's, Ijya's, Nairriti's and Tvashtri's stars and the Uttaras, (Our text is unclear here: 'argha-samani', and one word before the Uttaras.)
Simple meaning: The Moon moves through these stars in turn. A list of clan-group stars begins.
पितृद्विदैववस्वाख्यास्ताराः स्युः कुलसंज्ञिकाः ।
These stars form the clan group. A second list, of non-clan stars, begins.
अजाह्यंत्यकभौजंगताराश्चैवाकुलाह्वयाः ।
More stars form the non-clan group. The rest are mixed.
प्रयाति यदि भूपालस्तदाप्नोति पराजयम् ।
A king who marches in clan stars may be defeated. In the other group he surely wins.
