Adhyaya 123
युद्धजयार्णवीयनानायोगाः (Various Yogas from the Yuddha-jayārṇava)
Selepas menutup bahagian kāla-gaṇana (pengiraan masa), Dewa Agni memulakan ringkasan berorientasi kemenangan perang yang diambil daripada Yuddhajayārṇava. Bab ini memetakan fonem dan tithi kepada pengelasan operasi (bermula dengan Nandā), lalu menetapkan julat huruf di bawah pemerintahan planet, menjadikan tilikan sebagai grid berkod bahasa-astral. Ia memperkenalkan motif diagnosis/ukuran (nāḍī-spandana, ucchvāsa, pala) yang mengaitkan denyut tubuh dan unit masa dengan bacaan ramalan. Seterusnya dikembangkan astrologi perang berasaskan cakra—Svarodaya-cakra, Śani-cakra, Kūrma-cakra, dan Rāhu-cakra—dengan pembahagian, penempatan arah, serta bahagian yang membawa maut, di samping penamaan nakṣatra/muhūrta yang menentukan tindakan yang sesuai pada sesuatu waktu. Akhirnya, teks beralih kepada amalan perlindungan dan kemenangan: aplikasi Bhairava-mantra (śikhā-bandha, tilaka, añjana, dhūpa-lepana) serta set herba boleh dipakai dan formulasi vaśīkaraṇa (tilaka, lepa, minyak). Keseluruhannya, bab ini menampilkan Agneya vidyā sebagai sintesis Jyotiṣa, teknologi ritual, dan farmakologi terapan demi kemenangan berpandukan dharma.

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.
