Chapter 8 · Marriage
विवाहः
कृष्णपक्षे प्रश्नलग्नाद्यस्य राशौ शशी यदा ।पापदृष्टोऽथ वा रंध्रे न संबंधो भवेत्तदा ॥ ४०५ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 405.
Say it is the dark half of the month. The Moon stands in a sign counted from the prashna lagna (rising sign at the time of the question). A bad planet looks at it, or it is in the 8th. Then no match comes about. (Our text is unclear here: whose sign the Moon is in.)
Simple meaning: A weak Moon in the dark half, hit by a bad planet or in the 8th, stops a match.
पुण्यैर्निमित्तशकुनैः प्रश्नकाले तु मंगलम् ।
Good omens at the time of the question bring good, and bad omens bring bad.
पंचांगशुद्धिदिवसे चंद्रताराबलान्विते ।
Choose the bride on a day with a clean almanac and a strong Moon and star count.
युग्मेऽब्दे जन्मतः स्त्रीणां प्रीतिदं पाणिपीडनम् ।
A woman should marry in an even year of her age and a man in an odd year.
