Chapter 8 · Marriage
विवाहः
पंचांगशुद्धिदिवसे चंद्रताराबलान्विते ।विवाहभस्योदये वा कन्यावरणमन्वयैः ॥ ४०७ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 407.
Choose a day when the panchanga (almanac) is pure. The Moon and tara (star count from the birth nakshatra) should be strong. Or choose the rising of a sign good for marriage. Then the families choose the girl.
Simple meaning: 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.
माघफाल्गुनवैशाखज्येष्ठमासाः शुभप्रदाः ।
Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha and Jyeshtha are good months for marriage.
न कदाचिद्दशर्क्षेषु भानोरार्द्राप्रवेशनात् ।
No marriage, god-installing or sacred thread while the Sun moves through the ten stars from Ardra.
