यात्रा शकुनाश्च

In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 626.
In order, seven stars each are the door stars of the directions, counting from Krittika. Do not cross the parigha (bar line). It runs from the south-east to the north-west.
Simple meaning: 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.
द्वादशैकादशः शुक्रोऽप्याग्नेय्यां तु ललाटगः ।
Venus in the 12th or 11th spoils the south-east. Mars in the 10th spoils the south.
