Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 86

Jyotiṣa-saṅgraha: Varga-vibhāga, Bala-nirṇaya, Garbha-phala, Āyuḥ-gaṇanā

Devanagari script

चंद्रास्तसुखगः पापैर्मातुः पीडां समादिशेत् । जीर्णोद्धृतं गृहं मंदे सृजि दग्धं न वा विधौ ॥ ८६ ॥

Transliteration

caṃdrāstasukhagaḥ pāpairmātuḥ pīḍāṃ samādiśet | jīrṇoddhṛtaṃ gṛhaṃ maṃde sṛji dagdhaṃ na vā vidhau || 86 ||

Translation

Wenn der Mond, von sündhaften Einflüssen verdorben, in einen untergehenden (ungünstigen) Zustand gerät, weist dies auf Bedrängnis der Mutter hin. Und ist Saturn schwach, so wird ein Haus angezeigt, das alt geworden und dann wieder ausgebessert wurde—entweder wird es vom Feuer verbrannt, oder es besteht dem Schicksal gemäß nicht dauerhaft.

FAQs

It frames worldly suffering (especially harm to one’s mother and instability of one’s home) as karmically signaled through graha-doṣa, encouraging dharmic living and śānti (pacificatory) conduct rather than fatalism.

While the verse is primarily Jyotiṣa-based, its implied teaching supports Bhakti indirectly: recognizing misfortune as a call to humility, prayer, and righteous restraint, one turns to the Lord for steadiness and inner detachment.

Jyotiṣa (a Vedāṅga): the verse gives predictive rules linking Candra affliction to maternal distress and Śani weakness to damage/instability of dwellings, used for timing caution and performing śānti measures.
