In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 372.
The time here is free of the twenty-one great faults. All signs are best when good planets join them or look at them. (Our text is unclear here: the opening word 'ikshan'.)
Simple meaning: Choose a time free of the twenty-one great faults. Any sign is good with good planets joining or looking.
शुभनवांशकगता ग्राह्यास्ते शुभराशयः ।
Take signs in a good navamsha. Never take a Cancer navamsha, even with good planets looking.
