गजायेऽत्यंतसंप्रीतिध्वांक्षे वित्तविनाशनम् ।खड्गपुत्रिकयोर्मानं गणयेत्स्वांगुलेन तु ॥ ३८७ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 387.
With the Gaja (elephant) aya (the eight directions points), great love. With Dhvanksha (crow), wealth may be lost. Count the measure of the sword and the putrika (dagger) by your own finger-width.
Simple meaning: Gaja brings love and the crow may bring loss of wealth. Measure a sword or dagger by your own finger-width.
मानांगुलेषु पर्यायामेकादशमितां त्यजेत् ।
Leave out each full count of eleven. The remaining fingers give the results in order.
पुत्रलाभः शत्रुवधः स्त्रीलाभो गमन शुभम् ।
The results run: son, victory over enemies, wife, a good journey, loss, gain, love, success, victory, praise.
स्थितो ध्वजे वृषाये वा नष्टाचेत्पूर्वतो व्रणम् ।
The aya shows where the blade's flaw lies: front, middle or end.
