गोरोचनाकुङ्कुमेन) भूर्जे मृत्युनिवारणम् ।एकपञ्चनव प्रीत्यै द्विषड्द्वादश योगकाः ॥ २० ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 121, verse 20.
With gorochana (a yellow pigment) and saffron, on birch bark, it keeps death away. The 1st, 5th and 9th are for love. The 2nd, 6th and 12th bring union. (Our text is unclear here: the word for 2nd, 6th and 12th.)
Simple meaning: This bark figure is said to keep death away. The counts 1, 5 and 9 bring love.
त्रिसप्तैकादशे लाभो वेदाष्टद्वादशे रिपुः ।
The 3rd, 7th and 11th bring gain. The 4th, 8th and 12th bring an enemy.
जाया निधनधर्मौ च कर्माऽऽयव्ययकं क्रमात् ।
The other six houses follow in order. Then the strength of the nine stars is told.
जन्म संपद्विपत्क्षेमं प्रत्यरिः साधकः क्रमात् ।
The nine taras are: birth, wealth, danger, safety, enemy, achiever, death, friend, best friend.
