युद्धजयार्णवः (चक्राणि)
ऋषिभ्यो राक्षसाः शूरा राक्षसेभ्यः पिशाचकाः ।पिशाचेभ्यो मानुषाः स्युर्दुर्बलं वर्जयेद्बली ॥ १३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 132, verse 13.
The Rakshasas (demons) are braver than the sages. The Pishachas (goblins) come above the Rakshasas. The humans come above the Pishachas. The strong one should avoid the weak.
Simple meaning: 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.
प्रत्यरा धनदा षष्ठी नैधनामैत्रके परे ।
The nine star counts are named in order. The Janma star count is good.
