In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 625.
Jyeshtha, Purva Bhadrapada, Rohini and Uttara Phalguni are the shula (spear) stars, in order from the east. Anuradha, Hasta, Pushya and Ashvini are open doors to all directions.
Simple meaning: Jyeshtha blocks east, Purva Bhadrapada south, Rohini west, Uttara Phalguni north. Anuradha, Hasta, Pushya, Ashvini suit every direction.
क्रमाद्दिग्द्वारभानि स्युः सप्तसप्ताग्निधिष्ण्यतः ।
Seven stars from Krittika belong to each direction. Do not cross the line from south-east to north-west.
आग्नेयं पूर्वदिग्धिष्ण्यैर्विदिशश्चैवमेव हि ।
Corner directions share the stars of the direction before them. Signs go round the directions from Aries.
दिगीश्वरे ललाटस्थे यातुर्न पुनरागमः ।
The traveler may not return if the lord of his direction is on the forehead.
