युद्धजयार्णवीयनानायोगाः (Various Yogas from the Yuddha-jayārṇava)
先の kāla-gaṇana（時刻計算）の章段を閉じたのち、火神アグニは『Yuddhajayārṇava』に拠る戦勝のための要約を説き始める。本章は音素と tithi（月日）を実務的分類（Nandā から）に配し、さらに文字の範囲を惑星の支配に割り当てて、言語—星辰の暗号格子として占断を組み立てる。nāḍī-spandana・ucchvāsa・pala などの診断／計測の主題を示し、身体の脈動と時間単位を予兆解読へ結びつける。続いて Svarodaya-cakra、Śani-cakra、Kūrma-cakra、Rāhu-cakra という諸 cakra に基づく戦時占星を展開し、区分・方位配置・死を招く部分を定め、また nakṣatra/muhūrta の名称体系によって時に適う行為を規定する。最後に護身と勝利の実践へ移り、Bhairava-mantra の用法（śikhā-bandha、tilaka、añjana、dhūpa-lepana）と、身に着ける薬草および vaśīkaraṇa の調合法（額印・塗膏・油）を説く。全体として本章は、Jyotiṣa・儀礼技術・応用薬学を統合する Agneya vidyā が、ダルマに導かれた勝利に奉仕する姿を示す。

They act as diagrammatic decision systems: divisions, directional placements, and specific ‘death-giving’ portions (notably linked with Śani) guide timing and risk assessment for actions related to conflict and protection.
The chapter treats victory as a synthesis of right timing (Jyotiṣa), protective rite (mantra and ritual acts like tilaka/añjana), and supportive materia medica—typical of the Agni Purana’s encyclopedic Agneya-vidyā approach.
Action-appropriateness: Raudra is prescribed for fierce acts, while Śveta is aligned with purification activities like bathing—demonstrating karmic regulation through time-quality.
Yes. Shloka 25 explicitly notes differences between manuscripts (e.g., a line absent in the Gha manuscript and alternate readings in the Kha manuscript), which is valuable for critical study.
