विवाहः
ग्रहणोत्पातभं त्याज्यं मंगलेषु ऋतुत्रयम् ।यावच्च शशिना भुक्ता मुक्तभं दग्धकाष्ठवत् ॥ ४७२ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 472.
In good acts, leave out the star hit by an eclipse or an omen, for three seasons. The star that the Moon has passed through and left is like burnt wood.
Simple meaning: Skip a star hit by an eclipse or omen. A star the Moon has just left is like burnt wood.
मंगलेषु त्यजेत्खेटैर्विद्धं च क्रूरसंयुतम् ।
Avoid a star that is pierced or joined by bad planets. It is like pure food spoiled by one drop of liquor.
पाद एव शुभैर्विद्धमशुभं नैव कृत्स्नभम् ।
A star pierced by good planets is spoiled only in one quarter. One hit by cruel planets is not good at all.
तुलामिथुनकन्यांशा धनुरंत्यार्द्धसंयुताः ।
Navamshas of Libra, Gemini, Virgo, Taurus and the last half of Sagittarius give good results.
