मानसं पंचविंशर्क्षं नाचरेच्छुभमेषु तु ।आचार्यसौम्यकाव्यानां वाराः शस्ताः शशीनयोः ॥ ३५९ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 359.
The 25th is Manasa. Do not do good acts in these stars. The weekdays of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus are good. Those of the Moon and the Sun...
Simple meaning: Avoid those stars. Jupiter, Mercury and Venus days are good. Moon and Sun days are middling.
वारौ तु मध्यमौ चैव व्रतेऽन्यौ निंदितौ मतौ ।
Moon and Sun days are middling. Mars and Saturn days are bad. Do god rites in the first third of the day.
द्वितीये मानुषं कार्यं तृतीयेंशे च पैतृकम् ।
God rites first, people rites second, ancestor rites third. A planet in a weak or enemy sign starts a bad case.
गुरुशिखिनोश्च शाखेशे कलाशीलविवर्जितः ।
Jupiter or the branch lord in a weak or enemy sign leaves the boy without skills and good conduct.
