Narada Purana — Purva Bhaga, Shloka 50

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

Devanagari script

लग्नेंदुगैः शुभैः खेटैस्त्रिकोणार्थास्तभूखगैः । पापैस्त्रिषष्टलाभस्थैः सुखी गर्भो रवीक्षितः ॥ ५० ॥

Transliteration

lagneṃdugaiḥ śubhaiḥ kheṭaistrikoṇārthāstabhūkhagaiḥ | pāpaistriṣaṣṭalābhasthaiḥ sukhī garbho ravīkṣitaḥ || 50 ||

Translation

When benefic planets occupy the ascendant and the Moon, and benefics also stand in the trines and the house of wealth, while malefics are placed in the 3rd, 6th, and 11th houses—if the Sun casts its aspect—the pregnancy is comfortable and auspicious.

FAQs

It frames pregnancy and well-being as part of dharmic order (ṛta), teaching that auspiciousness is read through Jyotiṣa patterns—encouraging responsible, sattvic living aligned with cosmic indicators.

Indirectly: by valuing auspicious timing and harmony, it supports a devotee’s life of discipline and gratitude toward the deities of the grahas (especially Surya and Chandra), which traditionally complements Vishnu-bhakti through orderly, dharmic conduct.

Jyotiṣa Vedāṅga—house-based assessment: benefics in lagna/Moon and trines/2nd are favorable; malefics in 3rd/6th/11th are considered less harmful (upacaya), and Surya’s aspect is taken as strengthening the outcome.
