In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 388.
Among the finger measures, drop the round of eleven. The results for the remaining fingers come in order.
Simple meaning: 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.
धृम्रगर्द्दभयोर्नैव व्रणं श्रेयोंत्यभागगम् ।
Dhuma and the ass mean no flaw in the blade. Next come the rules for the return-home rite.
