Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 3 · Name Letters and Chakras
युद्धजयार्णवः (चक्राणि)
प्रथमो दीर्घ आदिस्थो द्वितीयो मध्ये अन्तकः(?) ।द्वौ मध्ये न प्रथमान्तौ जायेते(?)नात्र संशयः ॥ ६ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 131, verse 6.
The first is long and stands at the start. The second is in the middle, the third at the end. The two in the middle, not the first and the last, come about. There is no doubt. (Our text is unclear here: the print puts a question mark on 'at the end' and on 'come about'.)
Simple meaning: A long vowel at the start and others in the middle are read for victory. The rule is not clear.
पुनश्चान्ते यदा चाऽऽदौ स्वरारूढं तु दृश्यते ।
The verse says the short-named warrior dies in battle and the long-named one wins.
नरचक्रं प्रवक्ष्यामि ह्यृक्षपिण्डात्मकं यथा ।
A wheel is drawn as a human figure and the nakshatras are placed on the body.
शीर्षे त्रीणि मुखे चैकं द्वे ऋक्षे नेत्रयोर्न्यसेत् ।
Stars are placed on the head, face, eyes, hands and ears. Their numbers are three, one, two, four and two.
