तिर्यक्पंचोर्द्ध्वगाः पञ्च रेखा द्वे द्वे च कोणयोः ।द्वितीये शंभुकोणेऽग्निधिष्ण्यं चक्रे प्रविन्यसेत् ॥ ४८३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 483.
Draw five lines across and five lines upward, and two lines at each corner. In the wheel, set Krittika on the second line at Shambhu's corner.
Simple meaning: Draw a wheel of five lines across and five up, and start the stars at the north-east corner.
भान्यत्र साभिजित्येकरेखाखेटेन विद्धभम् ।
Place the stars on the wheel. A planet pierces a star on its line. Planets also kick the day's star.
अर्काकृतिगुणाद्यंगबाणाष्टनवसंख्यभम् ।
Each planet kicks one star counted from its own. The Sun kicks the 12th, the Moon the 22nd.
संख्यया दिनभेतावदश्विभात्पातदुष्टभम् ।
Some day-stars counted from the Sun's star are spoiled. In Saurashtra and Shalva, avoid a kicked star.
