Chapter 2 · War Astrology: Yogas, Nakshatras
युद्धजयार्णवः (योगाः नक्षत्राणि)
हस्ते धृतं तस्करत्वं गतासुरध्वगः पदे ।कुम्भाष्टके भानि लिख्य सूर्यकुम्भस्तु रिक्तकः ॥ ४ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 126, verse 4.
On the hand, the person turns thief. On the foot, the person may die on a journey. Write the nakshatras (stars) in the eight-pot figure. The Sun's pot is empty.
Simple meaning: On the hand it tends to show a thief; on the foot, death while travelling. The Sun's pot stays empty.
अशुभः सूर्यकुम्भः स्याच्छुभः पूर्वादिसंस्थितः ।
The Sun's pot is bad, the pots from the east are good. A snake figure for win and loss follows.
अष्टाविंशाल्लिखे(?)द्बिन्दून्पुनर्भाज्यास्त्रिभिस्त्रिभिः ।
Draw twenty-eight dots, group them in threes, and draw lines for four nakshatras.
यस्मिन्नृक्षे स्थितो राहुस्तदृक्षं फणिमूर्धनि ।
Rahu's nakshatra goes on the snake's head. The other nakshatras follow in order, twenty-seven in all.
