In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 121, verse 53.
What is written on a leaf and kept in the heap of grain makes the grain grow. Do it in the three Purva stars, in Vishakha, in Dhanishtha and Shatabhisha too.
Simple meaning: A figure written on a leaf and kept in the grain heap makes grain grow.
एतेषु षट्सु विज्ञेयं धान्यनिष्क्रमणं बुधैः ।
Taking out grain and setting up gods and stepwells have their stars and the Sun's northward turn.
मिथुनस्थे रवौ दर्शाद्यदि स्याद्द्वादशी तिथिः ।
Vishnu's sleep rite falls on the 12th moon day after the new moon, with the Sun in Gemini.
सिंहतौलिगते चार्के दर्शाद्यद्वादशीद्वयम् ।
