ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
अश्विनीस्वातिचित्रासु रेवत्यां वारुणे हरौ ।क्रीतं लाभकरं द्रव्यं विक्रीतं हानिकृद्भवेत् ॥ ३४ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 121, verse 34.
In Ashvini, Svati, Chitra, Revati, Shatabhisha and Shravana, what is bought brings gain. What is sold brings loss.
Simple meaning: Under these stars, buying brings gain and selling brings loss.
भरणी त्रीणि पूर्वाणि आर्द्राश्लेषामघानिलाः ।
Under these stars, what is given or lent does not return to the owner.
द्रव्यं दत्तं प्रयुक्तं वा यत्र निक्षिप्यते धनम् ।
Goods given or lent under the stars above do not come back. Crown a king under Uttara, Shravana or Jyeshtha.
चैत्रं ज्येष्ठं तथा भाद्रमाश्विनं पौषमेव च ।
Building a house is good in the other months, not in these six.
