In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 132, verse 12.
The Daityas are stronger than the gods. The Nagas are stronger than the Daityas. The Gandharvas are stronger than the Nagas. The sages are best, above the Gandharvas.
Simple meaning: Each kind of being in the list is stronger than the one before. The sages are above the Gandharvas.
ऋषिभ्यो राक्षसाः शूरा राक्षसेभ्यः पिशाचकाः ।
Each group is stronger than the one before. A strong one should avoid a weak one.
पुनर्मैत्रविभागं तु ताराचक्रं क्रमाच्छृणु ।
Now a wheel to find friends is told. Take the star of the first letter of the name.
ऋक्षे तु संस्थितास्तारा नवत्रिका यथाक्रमात् ।
The stars are counted in sets of nine: Janma, Sampat, Vipat, Kshema and the rest.
