Chapter 8 · Marriage
विवाहः
मृत्युः षष्ठाष्टके पंचनवमे त्वनपत्यता ।नैःस्व्य द्विर्द्वादशेऽन्येषु दंपत्योः प्रीतिरुत्तमा ॥ ५०३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 503.
In the 6th and 8th count, there may be a risk to life. In the 5th and 9th, children may not come. In the 2nd and 12th, poverty may come. In the others, the couple's love is best.
Simple meaning: A 6-8 count may risk life, 5-9 may bring no children, 2-12 poverty. Other counts give the best love.
एकाधिपे मित्रभावे शुभदं पाणिपीडनम् ।
Same or friendly sign lords make 2-12 and 5-9 good. A 6-8 count is never good.
अश्वेभमेषसर्पाहिह्योतुमेषोतुमूषकाः ।
This verse lists the animals of the stars from Ashvini to Jyeshtha, starting with horse and elephant.
श्वानः कपिर्बभ्रुयुगं कपिसिंहतुरंगमाः ।
More animals for the stars in order: dog, monkey, mongoose, lion, horse, cow and elephant.
