In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 126, verse 17.
In a harsh one, do a harsh work. Now I will tell the down-facing ones and the rest. Krittika, Bharani, Ashlesha, Vishakha, and the stars of the ancestors and of Nairrita.
Simple meaning: Harsh nakshatras suit harsh work. The down-facing nakshatras begin: Krittika, Bharani, Ashlesha, Vishakha and two more.
पूर्वात्रयमधोवक्त्रं कर्म चाधोमुखं चरेत् ।
