संस्कारमुहूर्ताः
स्वाधिमित्रगृहस्थे वा तस्योच्चस्थे तदंशगे ।गुरौ भृगौ वा शाखेशे विद्याधनसमन्वितः ॥ ३६६ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 366.
Say the shakhesha (lord of the person's Veda branch), Jupiter or Venus is in the sign of its great friend. Or it is in that friend's exaltation sign, or in its navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). Then the person has learning and wealth.
Simple meaning: Branch lord, Jupiter or Venus in a great friend's sign brings learning and wealth.
शाखाधिपतिवारश्च शाखाधिपबलं शिशोः ।
The branch lord's day, his strength and his rising sign are rarely found together.
श्रवणादिनि नक्षत्रे कर्कांशस्थे निशाकरे ।
Moon in Shravana or Punarvasu, in a Cancer navamsha, brings learning, wealth and grain.
शुभलग्ने शुभांशे च नैधने शुद्धिसंयुते ।
Choose a good rising sign and navamsha, a clean 8th house, and help from good planets.
